Murray Property Fundraising

Post by **Spragwa** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 2:54 pm

Hey all! The first fundraiser is scheduled for August 30th at Lexington Rocks. It will be a 250 foot climb where climbers can sign up, get donations and the top 3 fundraisers will be awarded some pretty cool prizes. We hope to have the same fundraiser in two other cities on that same date. Look for this to come to your area soon.

Also, I've received a great response on ideas from climbers. Keep them coming. We even have someone who developed their own idea and is going forward with our full support. Please let us know if you have the time and motivation to do that. It all helps!

So how does this work? How are you going to fit 250 feet of climbing into THAT place?

It comes out to appx. 10 routes. We measured the walls.

Do people pay to do 10 routes or do you collect sponsorships/donations? Dammit Spragy, WE NEED DETAILS!

Look you. People are not going to be sponsored or accept pledges. Essentially, the participants will promise to climb 250-feet (and Bryan has promised to put up some easy juggy routes for people to lap so no one will get injured) and people will "sponsor them." Money collection takes place before the event. That way, there's no chasing people down for cash. I'd hate to sic DK on anyone, even for charity.

Spragwa,
It seems you are pretty involved in the rrgcc and the recent events / property purchase.
How about a little more info in your profile about who you are instead of just a "hired gun"?
I would feel better trying to relate to a real person in regard to these issues rather than some ficticious name on the internet.
Not meant as a flame, just an observation.

Jeff: I will PM you with personal info. I don't put my actual job title b/c I don't want to scare people.

Ok cool,

Not that you have to put a job title in your profile.
I just think once the annonymity (sp?) of posting to the web under a made up name has been removed, questions and answers become more real and sincere.

When is the fundraiser coming to Cincy?
