First day fund drive results
Skip to commentsYesterday I kicked off the annual donation drive with the goal to raising the equivalent of a minimum wage compensation ($7.25/hr). At the end of the yesterday I tallied it up, divided by the estimated number of hours per year and came up with $1.45/hour. Which isn’t bad as that is approximately 20% of the goal in a first of five day drive.
With their permission, here are some of yesterday’s donors. I appreciate their support, both the donation and their words of encouragement.
