My congratulations to Philippe, the rest of the community team at the
Foundation, and all of the volunteers who have helped get the
fundraiser to this stage.

For us to earn $516,882 on the very first full day of the fundraiser
(a pre-launch day no less) is nothing short of outstanding; and, if my
suspicions are correct, it's not going to be the biggest day of the
fundraiser, either.

So congratulations, and keep up the good work! I and many others will
be watching and hoping that you can make our launch day a Million
Dollar Monday.
