A few weeks back, there was a pretty interesting post about the Pitt renovation project that shared the link which showed the upgrades to the South Side facility. Before the dismissal of SP, I along with some other PantherLair posters talked about creating our own booster group. I've met with Pitt multiple times since then. They've asked us to hold off for now since the department is undergoing a major change with Chancellor Gallagher and new AD Scott Barnes. I was able to meet the Chancellor and he actually gets it when it comes to running a high level athletic department.
One of the things we talked about before was using a crowdfunding style fundraiser to raise money for Pitt. I thought this idea would translate well to this football renovation project. I started a campaign to see if we could raise enough money to donate a locker to Pitt. The recognition plate will say: "Generously Donated by: Proud Pitt Fans" to recognize all of the little guys like ourselves that individually can't make a major donation, but together can have an impact.
The fundraising website is www.gofundme.com/PittFootball
I'm just asking that people spread the word about this. Little donations, even as small as 5 dollars, can make a difference if enough people give. People seem ready to start supporting Pitt now that we have leadership that appears to be committed to winning. I hope that you can share this with your friends and fellow Panther fans.
Also we have a facebook page that will be the main source for all future projects, such as our newly created National Give to Pitt Athletics Day on Dec. 17 (the anniversary of SP's dismissal). That site is www.facebook.com/PittFundraising
Thanks everyone and Hail to Pitt!
