RE: How Much Money Would You Donate Toward An OCS?
I would most likely commit to 5 year or 10 year plan, maybe $1800 per year.
I could always commit to more, but I am so old I will prolly die before the year commitment is met, anyway.
And this is in addition to my current giving level. Over the years I have donated almost $400,000 (I was told, and surprised as well).
And if we need to buy seat licenses, this amount will be toward that.

Andy then went back to the people that promised the $$$$, not a single one could or was willing to make good on their promises.
This is a blatant lie. The church folk (mt.org) had already scraped together about 60% of the cost. Andy then solicited the rest from a bunch of lowdown local businessmen, who then reneged.

TY. I never even thought much about it over the years, just something I do, and encourage others go give as they can, when they can.

Didn't mean to lie-if I did--haven't seen it in years------- OKAY the church had some $$$ in reserve for miscellaneous ---they needed more----then Andy went to gain pledges ----when Andy went to collect--all he got was excuses
How did I lie---the church having some of the $$$ is not relevent--whats that got to do with what I said-- they needed more $$$----the pledgers did renege ---I think all of the people that pledged were members of the church anyway----but what difference did that make ---members or not the pledge makers crawfished

The initial question was about donating to an on campus stadium. Not the Time to Rise campaign. Try to keep up.
