Hey Jim...
what's the possibility of creating some sort of momento for donors like a small sticker or button? maybe it just says something like BORG2-05

I suspect this adventure must be feeling pretty exciting for you. I'm happy for you. Nothing like having a purpose and a mission to make one feel alive. Good for everyone. Good for you.

$25,000 pledge . . . wow!


the guardian article has rustled up lots of new interest in the BORG2 effort and we are getting a rather steady stream of $10-$100 donations. About $2,000 in total at the moment.

But we also got a whooper 2 days ago. An anonymous donor came forward and pledged 10% of total art fund goal of $250,000 as a challenge grant. that's right, a $25,000 pledge.

what this means is they will match other people's donations, dollar for dollar, essentially doubling the donations of others, up to $25,000. but we have to raise at least another $25,000 to get this full pledge.

i'll set up a little donation tally site soon, but i thought yous might be interested in this somewhat stunning news. we are a week into this and already over 10% of the way to 250k.

hopefully more generous art minded souls will continue to step forward to help in the near future.

and a sincere thank you to all who have stepped forward to help already.
