Hey Kids! How about a DU Donation challenge! |
|
I will be making my first donation to DU in the next 24 hours & thought it might be fun to see how much my donation would be by issuing a challenge: I will match NEW donation pledges declared in this post up to $100 total. It would only take 10 people pledging $10 apiece to make me cough up $100! So how about it? How much can be made by 5pm CST Tuesday? Of course, this will have to be on the honor system as I have no way to track this! Thanks in advance for your generosity to DU!
P.S.: This has been cleared with Skinner.

I donated for the first time on Sunday morning. So here's another $10.00 you need to match!
The gold star SURE DOES look good next to MY name!

Please make the effort to meet the challenge goal & then I will shut up! It means more bucks to a truly valuable site.

10. By NEW donation pledges, do you mean . . . |
|
new pledges for this quarterly drive? or pledges from first-time donors?
