Wow, what a great response from members. This is the first time a challenge grant has been put up by the club and I am grateful for the two "challengers" as well as all that have stepped forward to contribute. I believe that this is highest single month donation total in our history.

Please join me in thanking all who participated!

Here are a few things to note:

• 45 members made donations in addition to the challengers
• Two Challengers put up $5,000 each
• One Canadian member donated $5,000
• Three Members donated $1,000 each
• Australian Chapter 18 donated $1,000
• Three members donated $500 each
• Six members donated $250-$400 each
• 18 members donated $100-$200 each
• The remainder donated $25-$100 each

Total Member donations: $15,380
Challenger Matches: $10,000
Caterpillar Matches: $ 400

Total: $25,780 !!

Even though the challenge has concluded, we'll never turn away a gift, I'll post a total at the end of the year that will include any donations from this point forward.

THANK YOU!
