autigers_1998 - 2007-07-02 10:51 AM Is it a race? Sounds like it could be interesting. I'm not doing Chattanooga either so this could be fun....

Dear Georgia Games Supporter,

The Georgia Games needs YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP! Due to budgetary
constraints,
the State did not re-fund the Georgia Games budget with state dollars.

We must raise $100,000 of private funding immediately if the State
Games are
to continue into 2008.
If private funding does not occur by prior to August 15th, the 2007
Georgia
Games will be conducted BUT they will be the last ones. The Georgia
Games
will face immediate elimination after this year's Games if funding is
not
obtained.

In order to keep the Games alive for all Georgia citizens whether you
live
in Augusta, Adel, Calhoun, Columbus, Evans, Gainesville, Jessup,
Savannah,
Macon, Newnan, Ochlocknee, Perry, Reidsville, Swainsboro, Atlanta or
any one
of the other thousand cities in Georgia, please donate now!

IF EVERY PERSON who gets this email will do just two things:
1) Give a tax deductible donation of $25 to the Georgia Sports
Foundation
CLICK HERE TO DONATE http://gagames.kennesaw.edu/donation_page.2.htm

2) Forward this to at least 5 of your family, friends and colleagues
asking
for their help to help "Keep The Games Alive" by donating too - you
will
help to save the Games!

This will help keep the Georgia Games alive until 2008 where we can
make
adjustments and attract new supporters.

There are many people that are not aware of the terrible financial
situation
that the Georgia Games been enduring for the last few years. And many
people want to know how they can help.

PLEASE DONATE TODAY at CLICK HERE TO SAVE THE GAMES. This is a
tax-deductible write-off.

This is an urgent need! We need to raise this amount of funds prior to
August 15th or the first and greatest Olympic Legacy Program will be
destroyed! Please Do Not let this happen.

ACT NOW, DONATE TODAY - AND SAVE THE GAMES !!!
