FUNDRAISER RAFFLE ENDS TODAY AT NOON EDST!

Post by solarchat »

We have had 11 donations from the 2,718 members on this forum so far in this fundraiser. I would appreciate it if more of you would consider supporting what we d in the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project and the great resource this forum has been to so many thousands of hobbyists around the world.


We are $6300 away from our goal of $30k in the fundraiser. Today is the LAST day to get your donations in and enter our big raffle for the awesome telescope gear. The drawing will be at noon EDST today! that's 4 hours from now.

Come support us and help reach the minimum goal to keep the program going into 2018!

I think(?) we got to $23711, so short of the $30k target. I think(?) I read it was a lady who run it but can't find the post on FB now...

It's a pity to not hear the results, some folks who contribute here don't use Facebook. Thanks for the info Mark :)

Judith opted to not accept the prize and it was awarded to Jupiter Joe’s Astronomy outreach in NYC.

Thank you 7 donors from Solarchat.

Perhaps some people from the forum who donated were not identified as being from the forum? Different email addresses or whatever?
