Make us pay!

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Kevin Buckley)

Al's Run is this Saturday .. and we are woefully behind our $1977.78 goal.

You remember Al's Run, right?  It's not named for Al Gore.  Not Al Capone.  Nor Al Pachino.  Not even Al Jazeera.

It's named after Al McGuire.  You know, the patron saint of Marquette Basketball, and creator of the phrase "Cracked Sidewalks."

In an effort to jump start the fund-raising .. the Cracked Sidewalks authors are issuing a 24 hour challenge and will match all donations up to a total of $500 smackers.
$50 and $100 are super, but we wanna see some $19.78 donations, too.  Or how about $30, the price of one lower bowl game ticket.    You didn't want to see the big MU vs. NJ Institute of Technology game anyhow.


So .. let's find our credit cards, and double your dough, Marquette fans:  http://www.firstgiving.com/marquettefans

I love it when a plan comes together.

Well, that worked great.  Thanks to all who donated and spread the word.

I've bumped the goal to $3,281 .. that's what we hit last year, plus a buck.

Let's keep it rolling.

Whoa!?  What happened.  I checked around noon and it was stuck under the $1k mark, suddenly it jumps to $2k!  Well done!

Alright, lets see what we can do - for the late night crowd, I'm gonna' offer to personally double any donations that show up before 12am MT (2am ET, 1am CT, 11pm PT, etc...) up to a total of $200.  

It's at $2,017.55 right now, get it at or above $2,217.55 and I'll throw in another $200.  If you make me spend less...I'll be disappointed!

edit: thanks aaw, less late night spenders than I thought.
