Steph, how long will the Challenge be open?

Lunsford donating his money over 4 years. I guess we got the answer to that.

I donated a very small amount as well. While I'm not (nor have ever been) a donor, and given I graduated from the cousin of Ga Southern to the far north - Kennesaw State - I just now got to the point where I paid off my student loans. I do hope to donate more as time goes on, but it surprises me that we have a BUNCH of members on here, and have only had a small percentage donate in the month that this has been open.

Unfortunately that is the case for just about everything associated boosters and donors at GS. There are a lot that talk a good game and have very high and very vocal expectations, but most donate very little or nothing. And in the vain of true transparency, I'm just as guilty as most others. I have not taken the time to donate to the matching challenge either.

We have what 4,000 members in that facebook group and most of them ***** all the time yet we have 47 people that have donated to this. Crazy. Donate $20. We get all 4000 to do that we are at another 160k. A little bit goes a long way.

Two new donations and now at 28%. Told you guys earlier.

This is a challenge to all the folks that can dish our 4 or 5 figure sums of money.

Thousands of people donating $50 each won't get you anywhere close to the $750k mark.

That's the reason not to get worked up over how much we had a couple of weeks ago.

The important question here is whether or not those two donors go to UGA games. If they don't, they can keep their money.

I guess with your thinking, we need to take Erk's name off Paulson.

Also some donors have degrees from both schools.
