Thread: IMPORTANT: Match donations to get this bar moving

Hey Everybody ..... I am back from vacation

I am looking for match donations to get this bar moving

Either a 500.00 dollar match

2 - 250.00 dollar matchs

or a 1 for 1 match ... it doesnt matter

dollars add up quick... faster than you know

I may donate more but I cant do it alone...

Wow Airborne, that is very generous. Thank you very much. From what I know of the boards here, it would be best to make your matching offer from those that would offer....

$50, $100, $250, or $500.

That way some of our supporters here on the boards could offer $50 in new donations that would turn into 100 with your matching offer.

Remember folks, this offer is for new contributions

Thanks again to everyone rallying to our aid to get this funds drive in hand.

We have tomorrow and Tuesday to get this on track folks. If we do not reach reasonable levels by Weds, then the blade is gonna have to be scheduled to fall.

Could this go on home page?

Or is it possible to somehow keep a thread on "Current Group Discussions" list at left continuously for a few days?

I've been on the site 3 different times today, but I only happened to see this post because I clicked on "Posts since last visit" which I don't always do.

Just some thoughts.

Very generous, AS7.

You're the best Airborne

Almost 24 hours since he posted this matching funds challenge and not one single board user here has stepped up to match even part of his offer.

Oh well. Less than 48 hours to go. A few of you could easily get another grand into the count before the deadline with this offer.

Shame to see it pass when this could make or break the numbers on Weds.

W - I don't understand?? Many of us have already donated either online or by mail. I don't know if those will count for matching or not. What specifically does one need to do to "step up to match even part of his (AS7) offer" as you said? Does this mean there hasn't been one donation since AS7 made his matching offer?

When someone makes a matching offer, the intent of the person is to stimulate matching contributions.

They are saying that if people here pledge another additional 50 dollars, then they will match you with 50 more.

So if ten of you pledge 50 dollars then that will become 1,000 more because airborne is offering to match you dollar per dollar up to 500.

I understand the matching concept, I just don't understand your comment that not one board user has stepped up to match his offer. You mean there had been NO donations at all in that 24 hour period since he made the offer?

I made a donation today of what I could.
