Indications are that we have collected $955.00 so far, and this was accomplished in less than 24 hours. So we're about halfway there, but we still need people to get involved. A lot of those early donations were from previous donators, and even members of the 300. We need to get more people involved!
If you've never donated to the Prize, but you've thought about it, then this is the time to jump in. $100 would be great, but even $5 will help.
Consider the following quote from someone who has thought about donating, but never stepped up. Names and dollar amounts have been changed to preserve the identity of this individual:
> I would donate if I thought my small contribution would be likely
> to make a difference... But the Mouse Prize doesn't need $100.
> It needs $100 million.
I informed this person of the new challenege, this new opportunity to help bring tens of thousands of dollars to the prize, with a rather small donation of the size he used in his own example. Now whether this person has since donated, I can't say. But that doesn't matter. I suspect there are dozens of people out there in the same boat, who see the value of the prize, but have decided not to donate because they figure that their small donation won't matter.
Well, your donations do matter, and they have always mattered, but now more than ever! Just another thousand dollars or so, and another $33,000 will be donated to the M Prize. Let's make that happen. You can help, no matter how little you may think your contribution is worth!
