R:BASE Developers have blown away the previous record donation of $2,500, set in 2005. (Of course,that year, as every year, Razzak matched and then added extra funds, so that PBU received more that $5,000 that year.)
This year, as of the beginning of the banquet Sunday night, contributions from developers were near $4,600 not including matching. And during the dinner, several more donations were contributed. The laptop and iPod raffles may have been big motivators leading to the boost. Considering the economy and the weather forecasts, Pittsburgh needs a good year for Project Bundle-Up fund-raising. Thanks, everyone.
