Wow. Thanks to a booming $20,000 contribution at around 7:30 p.m. Monday night, you beautiful people matched a second $100,000 webathon challenge grant from an anonymous donor, thus kicking our overall fundraising haul north of…half a million freaking dollars! For the third year in a row! This renders our not-unambitious initial goal of $400,000 as out of date as a Zardoz reference, or a woodchipper joke, or even a picture of a handsome gal kissing a lobster.
As the clock ticks down to our final gong on midnight Tuesday, we are now resetting the parameters of that ubiquitous orange box to an admittedly ridiculous yet tantalizingly achievable $600,000, goosed in part by a late-breaking $25,000 match that will double your immediate giving pleasure, until we get to $550,000…
