Fall Fundraiser an Overwhelming Success!

posted: December 11, 2013

What Happened First...

At 4:00 pm on Friday December 6th I posted this urgent notice that ClassJump was $927.00 short of raising the money to pay for the quarterly cost of our server.

What Happened Next...

Mostly, I sat here and worried that no one would care. The cost of our server is the only expense we have have, but it is very real. Failure to come up with the funding for our server costs could signal the end and I had four days before that server bill was going to arrive on my desk.

And Then...

By Saturday morning, in increments of $5, $10, $20 and sometimes even more, I was astounded to see that teachers, parents and sometimes generous by-standers had rallied to the call! All $927 had come in! In less than 24 hours, the cost of the server was covered for the forth quarter of 2013! I then knew that when that determined and steely-eyed server bill arrived, I could stare it down with confidence and perhaps even a modest swagger.

But Hold On Just a Minute...

Through-out Saturday evening, Sunday and into Monday the 9th of December, the generosity and words of support never stopped! By Monday evening, ClassJump had raised an astonishing $2,449.00!!!

What This Means...

Besides the fact that I am humbled and overwhelmed by the flood of support that this little non-profit received, ClassJump now has $1,552 raised for the cost of our first quarter of 2014! That leaves us with just $428.00 to raise by February 11, 2014. This is a big deal for a little non-profit such as ClassJump. I mean a very big deal!

Many Thanks to Everyone Who Appreciates What ClassJump Offers

I am so grateful and honored to be abe to offer this service. As many of you already know, there are only two guys who maintain all of this for you. We receive no pay checks. Every single dollar that comes in goes straight back into the cost of our ever growing server.

Warm wishes to everyone and many thanks for showing me once again that what happens here really does matter.

Nita and Glen,
Your check arrived just today and I loved the fact that you not only included such a generous donation, but a heart-warming note along with it! Thank you so much!
