60 DAYS UNTIL THE LAUNCH OF THE 2015 FUNDRAISER

Post by solarchat »

please begin to set aside a little for the 2015 fundraiser.

Those who are new or haven't participated before, CBSAP only asks for money once per year.
We get zero government money, zero corporate money and rely completely on my own wallet along with donations from a handful of supporters around the world.

We reach over 250,000 people per year with direct hands on solar viewing in order to spread science as an option to radicalization of our youth. We figure that if you give a youngster something better to do, something that helps the community, they will more than likely do something good with themselves that, in turn, helps all of us get back into space.

We give away a fantastic prize every year and this year will be even better than normal.
One lucky donor will receive a pre-Meade Coronado 90mm Doublestacked H-Alpha scope with a Feathertouch focuser upgrade and BF30! This was a $15k scope 8 years ago when they were still made and blows away any of the copies that Meade puts out today. Every $100 donated gets a chance at the prize.

Last year 263 donors out of the over 7000 people on our forums and social media pages paid for the entire program including this forum, our 3 other main websites, over 200,000 glasses given away at over 1000 events worldwide and the distribution of over $40k worth of free high end solar astronomy equipment to those that want to do more but cannot attain it in their countries. We need to do better than that. If you have benefitted from the info received here, please consider supporting it's continued existence with a donation this year.


Thank you,

Stephen
