John Beilein has moved up from #13 since it was last posted about on this board to #9. I've been voting daily and like to think I played a small part in moving him up. St Louis Center would get the following amount if Beilein is eliminated in the following rounds:

• Round 1: $1,000
• Round 2: $7,500
• Round 3: $10,000
• Round 4: $15,000
• Winner: $100,000

He is supporting St. Louis Center:

http://www.stlouiscenter.org (located in Chelsea, MI)

Mission: St. Louis Center is a caring, residential, family living and learning environment providing for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD)

Vision: Our vision is to create a future in which every resident is provided a continuum of life-long care in a safe, comfortable, supportive, and family-like environment in which the individual's right to self-determination and personal decision-making, along with the need for dignity, respect, tradition and spirituality are honored.

MGoUser buddhafrog related that he worked there while in college and that it left a lasting (very positive) impression:

I worked there while at university and that place taught me so many important, lasting lessons. It houses and cares for kids and adults with a different levels of disabilities. Some of the residents are placed by family, while some are wards of the state and have no family. Many of the youth I worked with (not all, and I won't put a % on this) had been abused, some unspeakably. This place literally saves lives, gives dignity and hope to families and residents who need both, and it does so responsibly with a very limited budget and a dedicated staff. It's an incredible place, and it has partnered with UM for more than 20 years. Please vote for Beilein / St. Louis Center.
