With five days still to go . . . we've passed $50,000!!!! Wow. (And this doesn't count anything we might get from the Compressor Challenge.)

We got a HUGE push Friday morning (and what a great way it was to start the day) from Scott Bruce & Ronnie Chen. They called us and announced they were making a $3,000 donation. While that would have been terrific in and of itself, what made it even better was that because Scott works for Google, and Google has a very generous corporate matching grant program, Google throws in another $3,000 to make their total gift worth $6,000 which outs them on the Platinum level.

Scott & Ronnie's contribution underscores not only the importance of individual generosity to our Chamber, but how if your company has matching grant program, you can magnify the value of your participation. (And to be clear, this came in before we got the Compressor Challenge offer so we can't/shouldn’t count this towards that.)

So it was a pretty exiting day yesterday. But we shouldn't let the excitement die down. We've got a chance to beat the all-time record for most money ever raised through the overall Chamber Challenge. But we can only do it when YOU take time to contribute. the finish line is in sight. Will you help us get there? Who's next????
