Bump -
Students4Paul.com and the Facebook Group have raised over $3000 in the past two days, and are continuing to raise more support. I will personally be leading at least one more matching rally on the Facebook group this week.
The way we've been getting students involved is by starting donor matching threads, this is where someone starts a thread and says "I'll match the next 5 people who donate for up to $20", what happens is for each person who donates 20 or more, the OP matches that with up to $20 as promised, and all of the activity is recorded on Students4Paul.
This has been phenominally successful, spawning such contributions such as "I'll donate 200 dollars if someone matches me" (matched within a few hours), and "I'll donate 250 dollars if this thread can raise 100 dollars in the next 40 minutes", which it did and exceeded by quite a bit. Also, we've had one very generous donor who has offered to match all NEW donors (as in people who havent donated before) for 300% of their first donation!
Many new donors have donated $25 each and had that matched at $75 by Kyle. A phenominal effort by him to get new donors involved and to be commended.
All in all, we hope to raise the facebook group's contributions to well over $22,000 before the quarter ends! Hurrah for students!
