I gave to a bunch of different groups! Hope they appreciate their $1.
You bikers out there - don't forget Touch of Nature Mountain Bike Trails - still not quite completed. I think that's something that can be quite prospective-student-attractive!
We could be a mountain bike destination in the Midwest.
What a successful day of giving!!! The final total raised was over $3.5 million. Athletics raised around $110,000. The Dawg Pound was over $5,000. And the organization near and dear to my heart, the Marching Salukis raised almost $10,000. The BEER Facebook group raised over $50,000.
There is supposed to be an "exciting announcement" at 6:30pm from the chancellor in St. Louis to be carried on the livestream. I'm guessing it is a mega-donation, but the stream will be on the SIU Day site.
