2. I'll repeat the comment I posted on the DK thread: You CANNOT "write a $10,000 check"
Thu Jan 7, 2016, 12:57 AM
Jan 2016

The invitation says "RAISE $10,000". That means cajoling your friends, family and aquaintances to contribute on your behalf. That COULD mean ten $1,000 contributions, or it COULD mean getting 200 people to contribute $50 each.
