JC Retirement Gift Commitment To Date: $10,826* **

[RMoore1999]

I'm in for $100 already but I like round numbers so add another $107.00 to my commitment (unless we decide on Reno, in which case I'll hold off any additional donations until I see what the girls CAHusky has in mind look like).

I like symbolic numbers, so I'll throw in another $116. 1 for the NIT, which gave many of us hope that good times were ahead, and 16 for the old Big East Championships.

Total up over 10k with some caveats.
* = 2379 only through Foundation
** - $5,000 extra committed if we reach 20k to make it 25k!

So let's reach 20k - let's go kids - ante up!

Do we have any idea what the donation is going towards? I'll be in for some $, but don't want to commit and falsely inflate the number without knowing what the gift will be.

Read the update thread for an explanation.

I thought I responded to this. I am in for $100.

JC was in his second year when I got to Uconn - I have seen it from the start and can't believe what he did at my school. I'll miss the old coach. Congrats Jim, enjoy retirement.

Once the committee decides on a Gift- it might not be a bad idea to post the Plan/Donation Link/Goal on the Boneyard Football/Woman's/Realignment boards etc. I've noticed names over there that I rarely see on the Men's board. In ten years, I've probably been on the woman's board 5x BUT- if something Special was going on for Geno's honor- I would want to know. Every dollar helps, especially if we're trying to get that Extra Gift of $5,000.

Before I give a commitment of $100 I would like to know where the money is going. I know we have some ideas but until its established i'll be a little hesitant.

Absolutely - we will blanket the boards. We'll also ask you to ask friends and family who might not be on the boneyard to go to the donation page. We'll squeeze every last drop out of this!

At this point, you are agreeing to donate assuming we come up with something worthwhile. I'll tell you know it is worthwhile and endoursed to boot. So just say you're in for $100 and if you hate our idea, which you won't, you're not obligated, but at least we know we're working with the extra money as we plan.

I'll go in for $77.74

If donation is for charity/foundation you can put me in for $50. I may be able to do $100 but will need final details first. BTW thanks to everyone involved putting this all together!

 

[nimzovich]

Been away. In for $100

So I haven't been tracking this for about a week now because we have been in the final throws of getting an actual concept launched. I appreciate everyone pledging money to the cause - it really helped us know what we are working with, what we wanted, how you want your money collected and bringing some big time help on board as a result of the total.

So again - thanks for pledging - I don't know that we could be where we are at with this concept without your support.

And now, I turn this over to the realization of the concept.
