I'm sure many of you know about the $200 million Campaign for Appalachian, but I had a question regarding the donation process to the Athletics Enhancement fund:

It seems as though you can only choose from a set of designations with a predetermined amount (see attachments). As a result it appears that the minimum amount you can donate is $250.00. I've tried manually entering in a different amount in the "amount to be charged" field, but it does not work. Has anyone tried this out in the past? Is there a way to choose a custom amount instead of having to choose from a list of options which determines your the amount you give?

It's probably set up with "suggested" default amounts with no workaround. I'd suggest that you write a personal check for the amount YOU wish to give and mail it to Kindsay Reeder in Athletics Development (along with a note of your wishes). She'll see that your money gets credited to Athletic Facilities Enhancement and that you are properly credited for a gift to the overall "Campaign for Appalachian."

In case you want to call or e-mail her in advance...
