Donations can be made via Venmo (@CousinBrownie) or PayPal. Donors can also choose items from an Amazon wish list. Every $10 donated will earn one entry into a raffle the includes NLL autographed gear, apparel, and jerseys. All donations will receive a Cousin Brownie Christmas Card.
“As the great Clark Griswold said, ‘this isn’t charity, it’s family,’” Brown writes on his event page. “Cousin Brownie was inspired by that same sentiment – the love of family and what it means within our communities. The true meaning of the Christmas spirit! In Seneca we say O’tgönönyö:’, which can loosely translate to, “I thank you, I give my respect/love”.
