Fundraiser - aaron's Tappers Arcade Bar; taking pledges now

[mjmjr25]

UPDATE:

Please sent payment as GIFT/DONATION to mjmjr25 AT hotmail DOT com

Once all is collected i'll send one mass payment to aarons funder.

Greetings,

As you may have seen in aarons' main thread about his (and his teams') bar project - they are 2/3 of the way where they need to be. There was some in-thread talk about getting a racketboy table - the $350 tables are all claimed, however in talking to aaron there are some other cool ideas.

The idea we are floating is a nicely made plaque that says, "Brought to you by Racketboy.com forums" and donors could have have their name, forum name, or initials on the plaque.

Our goal is $400, a portion would go to the plaque itself and the rest would be the donation. We'd hope the plaque would be $50 or less and in some limited research it seems feasible to get something moderate sized and of good quality in that range.

To have your name, forum name, or initials on the plaque we are asking for at least a $20 donation. Though, any smaller donations are still very much welcomed. Please pm me or post if interested...we need $400 for this to make sense, but certainly we can go over that amount too! This is great exposure for our community as well as helping out one of our great members.

Hey guys! This is Jeff from the video on the campaign. I've lurked on these forums and site for a long time, but Hyperspin is the forum I always called home.

Aaron and I are good friends. We've combined our arcade collections to make an arcade bar in Indy a reality. This is a dream for both of us.

I would LOVE to see a permanent shout out to you amazing people here on Racket Boy in our bar. Put me down for $50, but please leave my name off it. I think that'd be tacky. This is about honoring this awesome community from which both Aaron and I have learned so much from over the years.

Fuck yea! Games! Thanks for the support!

Edit: Wow, didn't realize this is the first time I've actually posted on here haha. Neat!

I'll throw down $20, but my name on the plaque must read "Big Dick Willy"
