If this gets high enough, we can have Calipari maimed or beaten or something.

We'd go through the Foundation, of course.

You have achieved nirvana. The perfect post.
 
people said it earlier. i think we should all step up for the practice facilty. I know Coach in the past has talked about how badly we need it. Im sure he would love this idea. Especially coming from fans and not some big dollar donor. Im in if its for the practice facility.

i'm good for $100.00, with either of the ideas through the foundation.

My work matches 2:1 if the donation is made directly to the university. Maybe someone from the foundation can comment on the best way to engineer this in order to maximize company matching...
 
.-.
So, jleves, what is the current total?

C'mon, guys, one of the admins/mods/"loser with access" needs to step up here some and help move things along. Right now, this has become a shark that has stopped swimming and is starting to sink.

I suggest that we need an admin or a board "elder" who will be responsible for collecting the money unless it can be targeted directly to the foundation via Paypal or some other way. Perhaps Augie22 can give his firstborn to Fishy to hold as a hostage until he takes the money and gets his business to match 2:1 to "his" donation.

We will never agree on one option. The foundation route has taken on a lot of momentum. I like the gold-plated locker with a dedication for 15K, if we could come up with a clever dedication.
 
I think I speak for a lot of people here in saying that I would commit to something if I knew who I'm giving money to and what the money is being used for.

I give credit for whoever is taking up the task here, but at the same time, it's basically commit to x amount of dollars, to be paid to someone/somebody, for something we don't know yet.

If it was settled once and for all and it was say the "$25K Locker Room from the Boneyard, donated through the UConn Foundation, you can donate your money here' I think this would really take off.

Just having unknowns and anonymous people saying 'I'm in for $100' doesn't really accomplish anything.

Hey, jleves, quit slacking. Add that new 2K to the total. Need to keep showing progress....seem to have slipped into a lull here. BTW, wasn't Fishy going to come up with a plan?

I was away - adding new amounts now.
 
Nice job while I was away.

* = 2263 Through Foundation Only.

We could tell Chaney that we're basketball recruits and he'd reflexively hand us a couple grand in cash.

In fact, that might be a fundraising angle.

I'll call Calipari, someone else can call Howland, Self, Barnes, the SEC and Lance Thomas' jeweler.

Yep. I'm in this limbo as well. Link it to Paypal, direct to it a valid non-profit for tax deduction purposes (the practice facility would be good), aggregate it and present something to JC that the Yard donated $x to the facility in your honor.

If you don't get a PM from me indicating it was recorded, I missed it so let me know.

Reply in the other thread as I will have to delete and recreate this daily (can't edit titles).

Apparently I can edit the title - feel free to comment here if you wish.

I'm in for $100

Who are you kidding? Anyone here would do that for a sacred and a couple of wings.

Out of curiosity who donated the $3.00?
 
Someone donated 263 or some such. But if you feel like donating $3.00, I'll take it!

have we decided on what the gift is going to be?

Not to say too much, but picture this - Calhoun, the Boneyard, Las Vegas.

It will be epic.

Vegas? Vegas is for . Bring that 10G to Reno and I can get JC and all the Boneyard
regulars laid and still have enough to put 2G on red and donate 3G to the UCONN Foundation. If red hits we all get laid again. This time with attractive girls with all their teeth.

If we do this can I wait until after red hits before getting laid?

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).
 
Is there somewhere we can actually donate now or still just getting a total? I am in for $50 just let me know where to do it.

There isn't yet, but if you all decide* that your plan is to donate through the Foundation for the Basketball Development Center in honor of Coach (or the Cardiology Center in honor of Coach, etc.), we could have a dedicated secure online giving page up anywhere from a few hours to one business day from when we get the word to do so. It would look like the existing Calhoun giving page, but would be easier to provide a total of the giving that's gone through The Boneyard.

* We know you're all still discussing it.
 
Still working on details - should have something later today or tomorrow.
