Yes, We have given an information packet to Fatty's and hope to receive a donation from them. We'll see.
If you have an other business suggestions or fund raising ideas please post on here. Fresh ideas are welcome.

We are a legal corporate not for profit registered with the state & Federal gov. We have our corporate bank account at the First National Bank of DeKalb. Our legal advisor, Rick Radek, tells me that anyone can go to the bank & give a donation. Just tell them it is for the Diesel Memorial Project. Our legal advisor is pro bono. ALL of us are donating our time & efforts so all money raised goes to the project.

Something else we would like people to know is that this is called the Diesel Memorial for fundraising purposes but in reality it is to be a memorial to ALL Huskie live mascots . There will be a plaque listing names & years of service. When Mission retires, his name will also be on the plaque.

Huge thanks to all who have donated. We still need donations so please tell your NIU friends. Thanks everyone!
