\"Lead<\/a>It’s that exciting time of year in the buggy world for teams and alumni alike.<\/p>\n

We’ve just been contacted by an extremely generous anonymous donor that is pledging up to $2000 to the BAA as a matching gift to whatever we raise from the lead truck auction. \u00a0This is by far the largest gift we’ve\u00a0received\u00a0to date, and we can say how honored we are to warrant such a generous contribution. \u00a0It just goes to show how much buggy means to all of us buggy alumni, and we’re just glad we can be here to help keep everyone connected.<\/p>\n

That said, the most important thing we need to focus on now is that this is a matching donation<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>We don’t have any of that gift yet. \u00a0It’s up to you!<\/span><\/strong> Every dollar that you bid in the lead truck auction will be doubled. \u00a0To earn the entire $2000 pledge, we need to get $2000 in bids from all the rest of you passionate buggy fans.<\/p>\n

Last year’s auction raised just about $1000, so we’ve got some serious work ahead of us. \u00a0Spread the word to your buggy friends and help us make this year’s auction twice as big as last year so that buggy can fully benefit.<\/p>\n
