The Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.Com Challenge
Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:28 am
There's no better time to do this than right now when we're all feeling down in the dumps.
Let's establish an "Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.com Challenge" for the BG Building Dreams Campaign. I'm willing to pledge $1,000 to get it started.
I've done a bit of research but need some help. I've tried to contact the Campaign and also Jane Myers of the Falcon Club but so far have had no luck.
I do know you can specify that a pledge goes to "Athletics" and do so "In Honor" to someone or something, e.g. the "Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.com Challenge". It would be nice, though, if we had someone officially to help establish such a fund. Im not sure if they would insist upon a minimum goal for the fund. I'd think, though, that we'd be able to raise $50,000 over three years, maybe $100,000. Think about it--a $1,000 pledge over 3 years from 100 people would raise $100,000.
If we designated the money to go to the Sebo Center I think we could get some kind of recognition.
One way of contributing is to send money each month or so until you reach your pledge amount. And I think you can stretch this out for 3 years. If, for example, you pledged $1,000 the monthly payment would be just under $30 over a period of 3 years.
My thinking is that there should be no minimum pledge required. Maybe a "good" month would occasionally come along, e.g. an income tax return or winning a big bet on BG defeating Wisconsin and you can be generous. The point is you give what you can over the next 3 years.
I would really like to do this.
