    The home stretch!

    Okay. This is it everybody. Only 127 dollars to go, if my mathematics is correct (and it very well might not be!). Of course, we'll take all of the extra money we can get after that. Heh.

    Let's go!

    Yeah!

    We are getting close!

    Can you feel the momentum? We are over $2200, thanks to Michael Orey's huge donation! We have 12 days left, and we need $800. We just need 40 people to give $20 apiece. We can do this thing!

    Whoa. You've turned us into Keanu Reeves. Whoa.

    First off, thanks to Katherine Burgess for the 100 buck Henchmen level donation! That's just amazing.

    Secondly, a big WHOA to Ken Griswold (via Alan Cook), who ponied up for the Ninja level donation, meaning he will have a day's activities named after him and a bunch of other great stuff! This puts us at the halfway mark with 20 days left! Let's hit our target within the next week, so we can stop stressing out, okay?

    Let's keep it coming!

    It looks like Bill wasn't the only Benson to donate some dough to GameCamp! Mike Benson came through with $100 dollars of his own, making him an official GameCamp! henchman. Caroline Barratt and Elise Jensen also donated money at the zombie level. We have four more weeks to go, and over $2500 to meet our goals. Spread the word! We don't get anything unless we meet our goal of $3000!

    Thanks for the pledges!

    Innovating the way how children learn math by Veljko Sekelj

    Math is tough. Math is boring. It just makes you want to cry. Its common knowledge. Well.. what if we could change all that? Make it into a fun game?

    Holy cow!

    Wow! Bill Benson is the first donor to go for the Henchmen-level donation, meaning his name will be plastered all over GameCamp! materials. That's amazing. His 100 buck pledge goes a long way!

    Also, we'd like to thank the Reverend Leigh Hall, Jenn Lortz, Matt Hannum, David Hannum, Jackie Mitchell, and Dan Gibson for their Zombie-level donations.

    Sam Cook and Jayne Clamp also contributed money.

    It's a movement, y'all. Spread the word! You know the drill: if 300 people give 10 dollars, etc. etc.

    Yay!
