My girlfriend and I are undertaking a social change project in which we hope to generate some revenue for MAPS International Adoption (Domestic Adoption and Humanitarian Aid) and to help acquire riding gear for the lady We will be selling motorcycle-themed "custom made" mouse pads via various forums in order to achieve this goal. 50% of all proceeds (after direct costs have been taken into account) will be donated to the aforementioned charitable organization (details below) with the remainder going to the gear fund. The Product Dimensions: 9" x 7.5" x 1/8" Material: Heat-resistant Polyester Fabric-top (it's really smooth/soft and has a nice sheen to it - good stuff) Other: Machine washable, will not fade or discolor Currently, three designs are available (all going with the "pump you up" and "motivational" themes). We have few more under development (lighter colors, simpler designs) but we wanted to at least get this "Pre-Sale" underway: For shipping addresses outside of the United States, please PM me for a shipping quote PAYPAL ONLY (I am a Verified Premier member) - unless you are located in the Greater Seattle region (mousepads can be paid for and picked up in person) "Adapt & Overcome" - $10 + $1.50 S&H each

The Charity MAPS International Adoption is an international non-profit organization that provides a multitude of services for families and children. They are one of the first U.S. organizations to be recognized by the Council of Accreditation (CoA) as a Hague-accredited adoption agency (details here). In addition, MAPS has been recognized as one of America's best charities by Independent Charities of America and is a member of the Joint Council on International Children's Services. "We believe that every child needs and deserves a loving, permanent family, and our mission has been built on this conviction for over thirty years. It was a pioneer group of families who founded MAPS in 1977, and today it is a new generation of supporters that continues the work.I was able to find a blog detailing a first-hand account of a family adopting a child through MAPS. The annual report for MAPS is also available here (PDF). Contact Information Website: http://www.maps-worldwide.org/index.html PO Box 772 45 School Street Houlton, ME 04730 Phone: (207) 532-9358 Fax: (207) 532-4122 As stated above, 50% of all proceeds (after direct costs have been accounted for), will be donated to MAPS. I will continually post our progress here and update this thread with pictures when the check is cut and mailed. I will also be attempting to recruit a MAPS representative to officially endorse this benefit sale by posting here. Thank you guys! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

A nice idea... To bad I don't use a mouse pad... Both of my mice (work and home) are the laser kind.
Good luck! Edit! Just thought of something... For us not so fast 250s perhaps a race track one that says "I don't do straights, but I eat curves." Or.. "Curves the breakfast of Champions!"
