Another Milestone: Time For The Marc Deckter Challenge!

OVER 2,000,000 SERVED!

Every day, web surfers from all over the world take advantage of the amazing resources we present here. Great things are being accomplished. The word is getting out thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and contributors, as well as the hard work of our volunteers. Over the weekend, our hit counter clicked over the two million mark on unique visitors. That's a remarkable achievement that we can all feel proud about.

However, right now, the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive is facing a challenge. We've filled up all of our available hard drives and we desperately need more to continue with this important project. We need six 1.5 TB hard drives to house the material we will be digitizing over the next six months.

Twice a year, I take time out from my regular posting schedule to ask you, the readers of this blog, to support our efforts. Two million people, each contributing a small amount, can move mountains. Unfortunately, not everyone on the internet is willing to give back for the riches they receive. The precious few who will step up to the plate to support the causes they believe in are the ones who make a difference for everyone. For the next week or so, I'm calling on those of you who feel strongly about what we are doing here to reach into your pocket and contribute to help us purchase the hard drive space that makes all of this possible.



THE MARC DECKTER CHALLENGE
One of our most steadfast supporters is Marc Deckter. Marc is allowing us to digitize hundreds and hundreds of rare 1930s Sunday pages from his extensive collection. Last year, Marc issued a challenge to readers of this blog. Today, he is challenging you to help again.

Contribute $20 to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive through the PayPal link below, and Marc will provide us with a vintage Sunday page to publish here on the website. Donate $50 and he will share three of them... donate $100 and he will allow us to post eight pages. Purchase one of these hard drives and have it shipped to the Archive, and Marc will post FORTY rare Sunday pages! Marc has classic Otto Messmer Felix the Cat, Chic Young's Blondie, Cliff Sterrett's Polly and Her Pals, Milt Gross Count Screwloose and other great pages ready to go. All you have to do to see them is contribute. As the total rises, Marc is prepared to throw in some extra treats, like he did last year. When you contribute, everyone benefits.

It's time to support the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive...

OUR FIRST CONTRIBUTOR
Will Finn is one of this project's most faithful supporters. Just as he did last year, Will is the first to kick in to get the ball rolling. Thanks, Will!







NOW IT'S YOUR TURN
Every day for the next week or two, I'll post the names of the folks who are contributing to make this site possible along with the Sunday pages they sponsor. Please consider joining in and doing your part.

If you can, link to this post from your website or blog. Encourage your friends to join in the challenge. Let's all pull together, and take this project to the next level.
