Donor Wall

As I've learned from my wife and my higher ed. brethren over in OIA (Office of Institutional Advancement), donors like to see their names on things. Most times, they like them on something shiny and displayed in a prominent place so they can have their picture taken next to it. Well, buff up your computer screens and get your anti-glare lenses ready:

• Jul. 23, 2009 From Debbie $100.00 USD - Holy Crap - $100 Donation! Full disclosure though (as opposed to the Full Monty - nobody needs to see that), Debbie is my mom. But if my mom can throw in $100 after the hell I put her through growing up, there is no reason you cheap bastards can't buck up!
  
• Jul. 21, 2009 From Jessica "H" $5.00 USD - A lovely woman I had the pleasure of hanging with in Ohio at a Conference. Nothing dirty, strictly platonic! She's a HUGE hockey (specifically Red Wings) fan. In return, if you tell me when hockey season is, I'll root for the Redwings.
  
• Jul. 21, 2009 From Strawberry $5.00 USD - And no, that is not her real name. Her real first name is Elizabeth. But who knows, Strawberry might just be her middle name cuz her parents might have been hippies that just loved their brownies, if ya know what I'm saying. Seriously though, throughout college, I didn't even know she had a real first name.
  
• Jul. 20, 2009 From Lindsay $2.50 USD - "Don't go spending this all in one place now...spread it out. Put a cent or two towards a nice stereo or something."- How's a 6 speaker Infinity system w/subwoofer sound?
  
• Jul. 19, 2009 From Shimala $7.50 USD - "I refuse to directly give you cash for your down payment. So here is what I propose. I will buy the first 2 rounds at a local watering hole when you and I next go out. That way you can use the money that you would have paid for "your" round ($6-$10) as 'my indirect donation'." I used 7.50 as the average for a round of beers - nice ones like Blue Moon or Leinie's Sunset Wheat, not crappy Miller Lite.
  
• Jul. 15, 2009 From Stefany $25.00 USD Stefany was in bold since she was the donation leader and knocked Stacy off the top spot as largest and most generous donor. She donated more than all of my friends by the way). As much as I respect and admire Stefany, feel free to knock her off by donating more than $25!

• Jul. 6, 2009 From Lauren $5.00 USD

OK, so its no plaque on a cherry wall, but its a start. See, if you donate, you get your name on the world wide interweb too! Oh, and I removed the last names. Some people are funny about being cyberstalked. Crazy.

I'm also looking for corporate sponsorship. I'm not opposed to selling out and calling my site the "Preparation H IWantAJeepWrangler...", "Tampax Pearl IWantAJeepWrangler..." or the "KY Sensitive IWantAJeepWrangler..." I'm such a donation whore.
