Back in March of 2007, many of us decided that the time for standing idly by had come and gone. By banding together in a grassroots effort, we were able to set and achieve our goal of convincing the University to pursue a FBS Feasibility study. Sometime next month, we will learn the results of that study and should be able to gauge where we stand in our pursuit of bringing better competition to Paulson Stadium.
Today (well last week) we have launched our second grassroots effort in coordination with Southern Boosters and GSUFans.com - we are looking to raise money to endow ONE football scholarship.
Southern Boosters has set the cost of this endeavor at $50,000 and if we hope to add the 22 additional scholarships necessary to compete at the FBS/I-A level then we have to start gathering these funds now. We raised over $2,000 last time very quickly just out of a few donors to do some simple advertising - today we need you all to pitch in to directly help the football program ramp up for what’s next.
We ask that you click on the ChipIn! button down below. Send over whatever you can offer, $5, $10, $100, $1000 or more. The money will go directly to the Southern Boosters bank accounts and Dan O’Dowd and his crew will be able to give you credit for your donations just as if you had mailed the check in yourself.

So get your end of the year donations in and help us make a difference!
If you can’t give, then go out of your way and recruit a new booster to the program - have them ChipIn! - and make sure to let us know that you did so! Every little bit helps!
As an incentive to the largest donor during the month of December, I will personally mail you my last available original copy of the coveted NCAA Drive to Dixie poster which celebrates Erk Russell’s undefeated 1989 national championship season. These originals have gone for over $500 on eBay and are great find for the GSU collector in your home. In the case of multiple donors who gave the same highest amount I will put their names in a hat and will randomly draw a name out to determine the winner.
So dig deep, and if you want to spread the word you can add a ChipIn widget to your sites by clicking this link (http://www.chipin.com/widgets/id/902554a5f9da128a).
This is posted deep down in the Challenge thread on the main forum, but we wanted to cross-post it.
As of this posting the highest donation is $50.
As of this posting, they biggest donors are $50.
