- Where does my money go?

Pic in the lead!!!
Amazing generosity has put just under $200 shy of $30,000!!! Tremendous work! Although we are nearly $5,000 over our stated goal on the SYI campaign for the DWCC, we ultimately have to raise $150,000 for the entire course. Pic has challenged one of us to get to $10,000 on our individual pages….he is now in the lead. Help put one of us over the top for Doug! (I, of course, would not mind if I got there ahead of him!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY!!!!!!
We are THRILLED! Thank you! Gracias! Merci! Danke! Arigato! We topped our goal today thanks to the generosity of the many! At last glance we had raised $25,680 for Doug’s dream. We will keep the SYI site alive for a while longer in case others want to contribute. Strong work friends. Get ready to celebrate in September!
Not $70 but still close.
In my enthusiasm to reach our goal I got ahead of myself. We are still close with only $970 left to go! I know we can do it before the weekend. Thanks to everyone!
Almost there!!
Only $70 left to reach our goal. We are so close!!! Thanks to everyone who has contributed and to everyone who still plans to do so. Once again, what an amazing group of friends. Much gratitude!
Happy Spring!
Wow. This community is amazing! In less than two weeks together we have raised over $12,000 for the Challenge Course. We are less than $3,000 away from the goal of $25,000 we had hoped to raise via the SeeYourImpact website due to astounding generosity from everyone. Wonderful job. Looking forward to celebrating in September!
Let's Rebuild Doug's Challenge Course
Thanks Bobbo for your great questions. It would be good to talk soon and thanks much to Lauren for our first donation! To all of Doug’s friends and family on FB and elsewhere, please take a look at the See Your Impact site to see how you can get involved. You can even become a fund raiser if you are so inclined. Would be wonderful to come together again and work towards rebuilding his vision by September 2013! Feel free to contact me if you have questions. More to come.
