Read the names of new individuals &
organizations joining the "$10,000 per year for 5
yrs" group! Tens more joined the "$1,000 per year for 5
yrs" groups. In addition, hundreds of former donors
doubled, tripled and quintupled their sacrifice.
Statistics, however,
doesn't tell the sacrifices made by individuals & orgs.
In the past weeks,
80-20 emailed its already generous donors many times urging them
to "render their BROAD shoulders". In one of the
emails, I used a true story.
"In asking you to do so, I will of course triple
my own donation from $2500/yr
to $7500/yr. for 5 yrs.
In addition, I also must donate $5000/yr to PAC, which Charles Zhang
& Kathleen To, the other PAC Board members, must also donate annually.
I even dug into my
father's legacy, Woo's Foundation (WF). WF has tripled its annual
donation to SELF today. WF is now donating $40,000 per year to SELF.
It includes the $15,000/year committed today
plus the $25,000/yr of matching fund committed on 2014/9/6. By 2018, WF
will have transferred 90% of its total asset of $300,000 to 80-20 Educational
Foundation. The transfer of funds started very early, as soon as
80-20 EF was established. Will my father, in another world, disapprove of
me? I don't know. Hopefully, he'll be proud of me."
If our readers think the
above is a lot, it is nothing when compared with the sacrifices made by an
anonymous couple, Prof. Alice Huang and many others who
recently joined the "$10k/yr or more for 5 years" group!
But they didn't want me to tell their deeply moving sacrifices.
Future - reaching $1
million per year - is
now our focus
"How $750,000 was
reached" is history. We now need to focus on the FUTURE -- how to reach $1,000,000/yr for 5 yrs. An exciting NEW campaign for the next 2.5 months
will be announced in 2 days towards that goal.
IMAGINE, when
together, who will dare to trample on us? Much less likely. Not after
we will have demonstrated our great cohesive community spirit in
achieving such an "IMPOSSIBLE" project!
"The supreme art of war is to achieve one's
objectives without fighting" --
Sun Tzu.
The accomplishment of
the SELF project will largely achieve such a strategic step. Do
you see it that way?
For existing
donors and non-donors
For existing DONORS, you've sacrificed enough. Please save your money for yourself and your family and/or
other good causes. We'll STILL need your support in a non-monetary way.
I'll inform you in 2 days.
For NON-donors,
please consider donating for the good of the whole!
