National Fundraising

[Leon Machado IV]

I'm curious if anyone has ever given a thought to a national fund-raising organization for the teams, by the teams? I had a similar idea for iF, but thought it wrong that a non-profit company should be raising money for teams, and without their input. I also thought the effects as far as becoming a far-reaching effort would be greatly increased through a national alliance of teams and organizations. Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject? I'm very interested in hearing. Either post or email me at lee4th@comcast.net. Thanks.

Maybe something like a "general tech help" group. Where teams can divide up the country and do something a bit like "Geeks on Call" to help people with various computer/technology issues. Stuff like:

• "The internet is broken!"
• Set up my new hifi system
• "My radiator needs to be flushed, and my tires rotated."

Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea. We pool money for advertising and such...
