Pep Band to Minnesota

[pat]

The bands alumni association will make sure the Pep Band will be in Minnesota, and we are exploring a number of funding options. Donations are (and aren't they always?) appreciated greatly!

If you do want to donate and you want it to be tax-deductible, the donation needs to be made to the university. Either mailing a check to the address above, or online at https://www.alumni.cornell.edu/giving/giftcard.taf?function=giftform (specify the Big Red Pep Band, Fund #622808 in the comments section).

If you send your donation via PayPal, we can't guarantee that we can get you credit with the university for the gift (although we'll try). On the bright side, however, you won't be condemned to a lifetime of receiving Band Notes. If you have already and want the credit, let me know.

Well, for the very first time, I donated money to Cornell.  At least it's for a good cause.  Good luck, everyone: if Cornell survives this weekend, I'll be in Columbus the following week.

Cheers,

I just donated through the alumni site.  The best thing about this is that I could also get my company to match the donation!  Just an FYI to anyone thinking of donating.

Pat-

HOw about an email tho the BRBAA list?  I'm sure a number of those people would donate if only they knew about the issue....

Please whoever is in charge of this keep giving us updates on how close we are to reaching our goal. Because if we only need x amount, people will be willing to pay the extra dollar.

There's $500 in the paypal account right now and checks in my hand for another $100.  I don't know how much has been donated through the alumni site that Pat supplied.  Probably another $1,000 in the mail.  Working on getting an actual pledge total as I type this.

Will money going to the Alumni site increase the amount that the Pep Band actually gets or will it just be counted toward the Pep Band's fix allotment from the CU budget?  In other words, is the Pep Band better off if we go though the Paypal account rather than the Alumni site?

Whoever noted the matching corporate funds part got my attention.  My donation is in.  I was glad to stick it to Air Products while helping the Pep Band.

Unless things have changed since I handled the marching band's money (and I doubt it) any money directed to a given organization goes to it.  This money has no ties to any funds that may have been *allotted*.  Or, more simply, the more you give, the more they get.
