A similar idea came up when GM put Saab up for sale a few years ago.  Rescue-Saab was born and thousands of people signed up.  Unfortunately, the amount of money actually pledged for donation was (if I recall correctly) only around 4mil.  This tends to be the way these things go.  Rescue-Saab ended up being incredibly important, but not for money raising.  It put together a list of people who actively wanted to help and that list was very important in terms of circulating accurate information (in addition to sites like Saabs United and others, of course).

Reminds me about the sales process and as some said then "you can't make that up"; unbelievable. I still have my seat belt on. :) happy, knowing that you all do a great work.
