Final Owl Club Push
If you have been holding off on making your Owl Club donation, today is the day to get your credit card out and make it happen! An extremely generous 83 grad offered to donate $240,000 if 2,400 donors give to Rice TODAY! Owl Club gifts count towards this. We are only $50,847.55 from hitting our $2.2 MM goal. All gifts count regardless of size. If you have already given, you can give a few extra bucks and that will count towards the 2,400 donors. To make it super easy for you I have included a link for you to make your gift giving.rice.edu/owlclub/.

Thanks to Walt for getting the 2,400 challenge a thread on the Parliament!

Just got some good news. A very generous Parliament member just put us $5,000 closer to the goal.

Just noticed the typo. The "I" should be "A"

RE: Final Owl Club Push
I'm a late December donator and have already made my donations to the Annual Fund and Owl Club for this fiscal year, but I chipped in an additional small amount to help with both challenges.

I'm not sure how often the status board is updated, but it only shows 294 donors with about 13 hours to go. This total didn't change after I made my contribution and refreshed, so I'm hoping it's done in batch and there will be a big upswing with the next update.

Not sure, but my guess is that it is batch processing. Was 294 after my gift as well.

I just gave and was approximately donor #295 at 11:15. I don't think we are going to make it.

Just saw Tomball's note. Maybe we'll make it after all since there's no telling where we stand.

Count at 1.202 at 3:00pm, with 9 hours to go. Half way there, but need a strong push to get to the 2400. Again, given any amount qualifies, there is no excuse for anyone not participating.

As of 7 PM the Owl Club received 117 gifts for a total $29,686 from the Rice 2,400 challenge! This campaign has been a real difference maker. Many thanks to all of the donors with a special nod to the mystery 83 grad who got this moving!
