Hi, Knopfling. I think this was great of Mark to help these kids. I would guess the idea was to provide some seed money to encourage others to also donate - it becomes a much larger base of support within the community that way. I'm sure we all know that the best projects like this have wide-spread support, and how better to get it than to get a bunch of people or businesses to make donations? ! Bravo, Mark :waytogo: |
