I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. For some reason it must have 
been put in my spam folder or lost, I don't know.  I'd certainly be 
happy to have something like this happen. However, from some 
participation in other fundraising and capital campaigns, I know that 
it is not very easy and a lot of work for every one involved.

Have you had experience with this type of competition before? Do you 
already know companies or people that might be willing to put up this 
kind of money. Some familiarity of important players in the field  is 
really a prerequisite for starting a campaign like this.

At this point, I can be supportive, but I really cannot invest a lot of 
time into it myself.  I think I would need to know a lot more about how 
we can come up with that kind of money.
