Ha we must have been writing our posts at the same time! What a great guy, talk about someone who really embraces what it means to give back!

It's tough to keep up with you Tripp. I have to hurry and get my posts in fast!

Received a nice email from various Duke Club staff members, donated to 3 different causes/depts. If in RVA, hope to see you tonight @ Jack Browns on Grove Ave. (near the Ticks!)

Likely one the challenge gifts that was added and removed or something, but Duke Club is kicking butt, almost to $100k!

Less than 200 donors away from another $20k for Athletics when we get to 1,908 total donors!

As we approach 3pm, it's worth noting that the per donation average so far is $141.09. It was $119.35 last year.

What significance does the number 3,141 have with JMU? It is related to today's date, 3/14?

Jack Brown's in RVA donating 10% of all proceeds from 5:00-10:00

Might have significance to the lovely lady donating that challenge gift, not JMU itself. Maybe it was the number of students at JMU when she graduated in '65?

Hmmm...maybe the number of things I've blamed Alger and Bourne for to date this year???

That's possible it has significance to her, or I'm thinking it's today's date plus 1.

That's it. It is Pi day.

Interesting that there is a separate option for the CoB learning complex but not one for the new convo replacement. Wonder why they don't have the convo as an option.
