Reno being my favorite event of the year, I've been involved here and there with this fundraising stuff. I chatted with CFO Tony Logoteta last week and there's a lot to get through, but the response has been very positive. RARA is looking for at least $300k by the end of the year to keep going forward with Reno '21 planning. This is looking pretty promising currently sitting a hair below $165k. Once we get to around $175k, the $50k matched gets thrown into this amount as well putting it at $225k. There are also a few "sponsors" that plan on donating a good amount. I would say nothing shy of $250k by January 1st with these sponsors and the continued donations flowing in daily. There are a TON of cool fundraising opportunities in the works to get another $100k plus after this donation period is over, the goal is just to get $300k from donations before stepping into the other stuff.

Positive response to hearing, it seems Reno just possibly will acheive their goal of 300k. Not at lot of air show organizations here in SoCal are not receiving as many as adundant donations as far as I know to my knowledge, the likelihood, is due to the fact the color-coded phases have a high possibility of having to intervene with any fundraising events. Currently were on Purple the lowest teir, that involves tight restrictions.
