Debt Demolition Luncheon

[Big Kev 369]

I got a phone call from the club last night, enquiring if is was going to the Debt Demolition Luncheon, I told the young lady unfortunately due to work that I couldn't make it. I did ask however how many had already accepted and she answered 300.

Which means even at the minimum qualifying donation of $500.00 a seat that is at least $150,000.00, absolutely sensational.

Thats not necessarily another 500 per person is it? I don't think that people who go need to donate more.

Some of the 300 may already have donated more than the $500.00

[LeBron James 41]

Some of the 300 may already have donated more than the $500.00

But it's not an extra 150,000 as the 150,000 would have been already included in the total.

All I am saying is that 300 people have donated at least $150,000.00 to the Debt Demolition.

Ohhk i get ya

[Dee tention 616]

Yeah! Great effort. Thats 300 who are going to the lunch. I wonder how many who have donated more than $500 are not able to attend. I got a call from the young lady aswell. Was very appreciative for my donation. Would have been great to go. But have work commitments also.

Suggests that most of the $ comes from a relatively small amount of people.

not necessarily

because you are not taking into account the donations

of $10, $20 or $50 that could have contributed

[45HG 1,539]

Well, 2,051,000 from the dinner, 100,000 from Foxtel, and an extra 150,000 at least from these 300 supporters (assuming they're exclusive from those at the dinner), makes 2,401,000 from about 460 supporters and Foxtel.

Leaving about 244,000 from the rest of us.

That means that 460 supporters, or 2.1% of our adult members, have raised 87% of the funds so far, and the other 97.9% of our members have raised 9% of the total

I'd reply, but 45hotgood's done it all (give or take a lazy 100K).

...and providing your assumption's correct, that % donated by the majority is probably inflated, given that some would have donated more than $500, and not all who have donated $500 will be able to make the luncheon / have organised to attend yet.

[Red and Blue Flame 187]

you didnt answer my 2nd q

[Red and Blue Flame 187]

yes you did my bad

[45HG 1,539]

And of course, i purposely placed a 4 instead of a 3 throughout my calculations to see which supporters are on the ball...

Not going through it all again, but it still means about 2% of our fans have donated 83%+ of the Debt Demolition campaign.

And yeah, I agree Rogue, many of those fans probably put in over 500, meaning their total may have reached 2,401,000 haha

Just spoke to Finks' Senior who went to the luncheon and he described it as an overwhelming success attracting about 380 people. He thinks the figure thrown around was $2.67m before today's results but he's not sure. All he seemed interested in was getting his souvenir footy autographed by Ronald Dale Barassi.

That's not far off the figure the website has listed recently.

380 is a great show, and I'm sure there were many who couldn't make it.

According to debtdemolition, almost $2.7M (2.695) has now been raised.

I got an email invite, but i didn't recieve it until 8:00pm last night and wasn't able to take a 2 & 1/2 hour lunch without any warning, which i was a bit disappointed with.

It said in the HS last week that they hoped to raise as much as another $100,000 more at todays luncheon, does anyone who was there know if the hat was passed around again?

I wasn't there, but apparently there was over $100,000 raised on the day (news courtesy of 'Grand Plan' at Demonology).

[furious d 464]

Great afternoon, and plenty more cash raised to boot. 2 more foundation heroes unearthed, one of which was Ricky Jackson. Another round of donations was asked for and they did the last man standing thing again. Probably 2/3rds of the room gave another $250, many were still standing at $500, Bails amongst others sat down ay $1000, Schwabby dipped out at $1500 and I think Barass (could be wrong, had a few too many ales). Fantastic effort by everyone! Cheers!
