I assumed it was a pledge drive Wednesday when the AM radio announcer said, "Did we make it? Where did the boss go? We're 50 dollars away. The phones kept ringin'...I'm going to call it and say we did it, and if that means I have to go get 50 dollars, I'll go get 50 dollars."
I'd say you met your goal. That's what fundraising is about. Success is success--even if you have to chip in your own money to achieve it.
