As you guys may have noticed, our Emily K Fundraiser, designed as a retirement present for former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, has taken off in a big way. This is thanks to help from a lot of really kind and generous people, notably Kenny Dennard who sort of did a fundraiser within a fundraiser in recent days.
Our original goal was $25,000. We topped that a while ago and decided to leave it up a while longer. Then we got over $30,000 and Douglass Kauffman stepped up and said that if we got to $36,000, he’d do a matching $6,000 to take us to $42,000 to match the number of years Coach K stayed at Duke.
