We got BIBS!!!! In a big way!!!!

We told you a little less than two week sago about our need for 10 new BIBS masks at a cost of $1,525 each and asked that if you can fund/sponsor one for us, you do so. Anyone sponsoring a mask will have their name listed on a sign that will reside at the Chamber indicating said sponsorship.

Well Scott Bruce & Ronnie Chen have steeped up in a big way with a $3050 donation that will fund TWO of the masks. Best of all, Scott is employed by Google and they have a matching grant program where they will match up to $3,000 of a employee's contribution. So that gets us two MORE masks (we'll find the extra $100).

On top of that, we've been able to secure an agreement with the BIBS manufacturer, that if we buy 8 at $1,525 each, THEY'LL GIVE US #9 AND #10 FOR FREE!!! That's like getting a 20% discount. More importantly, it means we only need to fund TWO more masks to get them all.

So how about it???? Who will help us get there? Just go to our secure server, go to the Challenge section, enter $1,525, in a donation assignment write "BIBS Mask,” and we’re on our way!!!
