Giving Day is here!
It's VT annual Giving Day and there's a couple of challenges that could really help our softball team. *The Most Donors Leaderboard The Top-5 colleges or units with the most unique donors during the 24 hours of Giving Day will receive additional funds. *Ambassador Donors Challenge The Top-3 registered ambassadors who inspire the most donors to give through their unique ambassador URL will win additional funding to an area of their choice: $7,500 for first place, $5,000 for second, and $2,500 for third! I have never considered this a competition, but finishing in the Top3 this time would mean extra bucks for the team, so LET'S GO!!! Just use my link below - any amount helps - even $10

Well, softball has slid to second to WBB, 188-162
Individually, the Pamplin folks are running away with it. They had 830 donors in the first hour. ** Edited by VTChip at 2/19/2025, 10:01:09 PM

Even though it doesn't show your name anywhere?

Yep, I just tested it with a donation and it works
It's one of the mysteries of life...lol

Can't spell "mystery" without VT.

I just did a $25 donation. Can you check if you got credit?
VTChip VTChip OP
This is what I see - people but no amounts
It would seem logical to put the Ambassador’s name in there somewhere because you are the third person that asked.
Atlee Hokie Atlee Hokie
I should have done 3 $10 donations, it seems.
laphroaig laphroaig
Atlee, hate to tell you . . . . . 3 x $10 = $30, not $25. :-)
Atlee Hokie Atlee Hokie
If I were doing 3 donations, I'd look for change under the sofa cushions.

No problem since the box is bottomless.
VTChip VTChip OP
Yep it's there! I don't see the amounts, but I see your name!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Atlee Hokie Atlee Hokie
I suggest everyone give just a little, just to get the # of doners up.
VTChip VTChip OP
That's a GREAT idea!!!!!

It is.....and about 45 minutes late for me! Oh well....

A Giving Day test we should run
If several people split their total donation amount in halves, thirds, quarters, etc., giving small amounts separately each time, does Chip's ambassador donation count include the additional donations and effectively multiply his count? If so, that would be a great way to try to win something extra in the ambassador challenge!

Yes, it's a bit of a "flaw" in the system
but 10 donations of $25 each is "better" than one donation of $250 when it comes to qualifying for the bonus dollars softball might qualify for.
