I think you're right, Guard.  I misunderstood TrYiNg as saying that she couldn't afford it, which is not what I think she meant.

TrYiNg, please clarify.  Would you be able to commit to $100 (maximum)?  If so, we may have 2 1/2 sponsors (Habib said that she might be able to split it with someone).

I said that I can't do 90 days , like eye.nonymous but the next best thing I can do is be his sponsor. So ye..I'll be eye.nonymous's sponsor if there are others

Thank you so much, TrYiNg.

Habib, are you still game for a $50 sponsorship?  If so, we're halfway to $500, which is the minimum for this super-incentive.

yup, still in

Thank you very much, Habib.  We're halfway there!

The prime candidate for this challenge is (I believe) at 28 days.  Once he's past 30 days, he's not eligible for the challenge.  So, time is of the essence.

We're halfway to $500 in sponsorships.  Please don't be shy - if you can pledge to be a sponsor (or partial sponsor), now is the time to do so!  The maximum cost of a full sponsorship is $100, and that's only if the person makes it to 90 days (otherwise, you pay much less, or nothing - see post at beginning of this thread).

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

BTW, I'm on day 27.  My longest streak was 40 days.  (So you really could have another 13 days to find more sponsors.)  I did sign up before I reached 30 days.  I don't think GUE ought to lose out just because the sponsors haven't stepped up yet.

Well, if you're on day #27, then we have until Sunday to secure the sponsors.

Hayom yom 30.

Do you have until sundown, until midnight,

          ...or until yesterday?

I think we should just do it at the current level, even though we have only half of the sponsorships we were hoping for.  $250 is a very large incentive, if not a "super-incentive."  Think of how many people GYE could reach with that kind of money.  Are you ready to take the challenge, one day at a time? 

Kedusha wrote on 29 Nov 2009 13:00:


I suppose that will have to do.

It's not like I was planning on falling if you couldn't raise the money.  :o

It does add an extra incentive, though.

habib613, if you're willing, I'll join forces with you. In a way, I think that's even more powerful than doing it on your own.

Up for it?

Sorry, only read the first page - it's great you already have sponsors for 1/2!

I'd be open to splitting sponsorship with anyone - for some reason, I feel like joining forces with someone else to reach a certain level of shleimus promotes the whole idea that we have going here, of being a group, part of "kol Yisroel areivim zeh l'zeh."

I'll have to figure out how to get the money to your guys, I'd prefer the more anonymously, the better, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes - we'll sort that out later. Let me know...

kedusha, i think you just got another half sponser

Thank you, Silent, for your $50 sponsorship.
