Lynne's DU Donation Challenge $50 for 50 States
Currently we have 43 States and DC which have DU Donations. I'm making this pledge in hopes that we'll have donations from all 50 states.

If we get a donation from all 50 states I will donate an extra $50. I don't think we've ever had all 50 states because I recall GregW distribution map and there never seems to be anyone from South Dakota.

I've already made one donation (plus my monthly contributions), but if we have a donation from all 50 states, I'll donate an extra $50 to DU.

I've just gone over the list and the states we are missing:

45. South Dakota
46. North Dakota
47. Wyoming
48. Nebraska
49. Kentucky
50. Idaho
51. Alabama

So if you live in one of these 7 states, why not make a contribution to DU. No one cares how big or small the donation is. Heck my extra contribution this quarter was only $10. But I could scrounge up another $50 if we can get a contribution from each of these 7 additional states.

Let's show that DU is global.

2. I'm hoping I'll get a few more folks to pledge $50 for this challenge
if we get all 50 states to donate.

Maybe we'll get some Canadian folks to jump in if all their provinces donate.

3. I will make an additional donation, too.
I can't afford another $50, but I can kick in a little bit more.In addition, I will offer my second donation in the name of someone who is without a star.
