This seems true. However after I did the math it might not be so impossible. 

$20,000÷$25= 800 people pledging
             Or
$20,000÷$60= 333 people pledging

So I pledged $60 and I'm hoping for the best. What the heck, I'm supporting the arts and the VW bus lifestyle. And spreading the word via Facebook has made a number of seemingly impossible things come true. Just look at Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live! 

Now if only I had a Vanagon dependable enough to leave Indiana and travel the backroads!
