Before you all donate consider one possibility...a HF private party concert. Ok, a 15k donation sounds huge, but break it down into a more manageable math problem. If 15 of us pool $1,000 each, we have a Shindig! If we can get 30 of us to donate $500 each, we also have a Shindig. Granted it would need to be donated by one of us, but the behind the scenes pooling could really work. Suppose we further subdivide the $500 contribution with say 3 partners to that contribution...well, now you have 160-170 per person.
Throw a dog a bone here...this really could work.

I'm in for $500, but my intent with the pledge is to have a private HF concert/shindig. Obviously, we will need to select a location and that person would be our primary contributor. This could be accomplished internally here at HF.com. It would be a huge boost for this site and even cause more lurkers to register as members if they could attend the shindig by pooling with other members.
This could be a separate thread if we have Miguel's blessing.

If we don't reach our goal, no harm no foul, we can still donate individually thru Indiegogo.
