Challenge: Funding George Desort's next Documentary

Post by Nick »

I met George at Daisy Farm in May and we had a nice talk. I was intrigued by his project. So, here is the deal.....

Isle Royale Forum Members. I have a source that will match your donation, dollar for dollar, up to a grand total of $1000.00. That's right, if the combined pledges from forum members on Kickstarter is $1000, that will be matched. That will put him at least $2000 toward his goal.

Are you up to the challenge? Once you pledge, e-mail me privately with your name, forum ID, and amount pledged. Let's get him funded.

OK folks,

When I think of the number of forum members here, how much we spend to get to the Island and outfit ourselves, I'm a bit disappointed on the lack of participation in funding this project (less than $200 from forum members).

I had a nice chat with George yesterday and I'm excited about this project. It will give us all a chance to visit places on the Island that we've never seen and revisit those places that we love.

If only 1/2 of the forum members donate $10, it will put him well over his goal. Remember, there are $1000 in matching funds available. Let's take advantage of the extra funding.

OK, pry open those wallets and donate!

You did it. Forum members donated $275 to this project and it is over the top. If you haven't given, please do so (email me privately and I'll tell you where you can send donations). There are still matching funds out there.
