I'd be happy to donate a few bucks toward "funraising" for this cause, but the information on the linked site (by Coach Dia) is pauce.
1) Is the president of Arizona State University engaged?
2) Is the provost?
3) Is the board?
4) Are Arizona's elected state representatives?
5) Is there a heavyweight (one or more) alum spearheading a fundraising drive among other alums and friends? How much has been raised so far? Who are the lead donors? Are they publicizing their efforts to the broader community? Has a letter gone out to every alum asking for a donation? Is there an appeal in the alum mag? In the newspapers?
6) Are national swim orgs weighing in? How?
7) Has the president of ASU promised a stay of the program cut until fundraising has had a chance to take effect?
8) What is the likelihood of success, especially if none of questions 1 through 7 has a positive answer?
9) Are they just going out for beer and ice cream and paying for the Web site with my money? Where can I find out how much $$ has been raised, how much has gone toward what expenses, and so on?
10) Is there a timeline for raising the money?
Thanks.
