We continue to support the young children of Big Spring through
the Cloudbase Foundation (see here:
http://www.thecbf.net/ProjectDetails.asp?id=274981468) and are asking for
matching funds from the general funds of the Cloudbase Foundation.

Belinda wrote to the Cloudbase Foundation for matching funds:

Hello Cloudbase Foundation Board,

Davis Straub and I are planning once again to raise money for the Howard County
Child Welfare Board at the 2014 Big Spring Hang Gliding Nationals. Your Board
member Larry Bunner will be competing at this event.

This money goes to the Rainbow Room, to pay for emergency supplies for foster
children in Big Spring, and accounts for the majority of their funding. The
money is spent on everything from diapers for infants removed from violent
situations to teenagers who want to attend their prom. Big Spring is a small
town, part of the oil boom, and has all the social problems that go with that
transient population.

We are expecting to raise a minimum of $1,000 in contributions from the fifty
pilots registered at the moment. Last year we ended up raising over $4,200 at
this event, donated through the Cloudbase Foundation. Will the Foundation match
our fundraising, at least to the $1,000 level? Will you match $2,000 or more if
we raise that amount?

I have signed up as a volunteer on your website and am entering this as a
project there. Davis and I have a long relationship with the Foundation and have
supported your work from the beginning. Please let me hear from you at your
earliest opportunity.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your project submission! It
has been accepted for a vote by the board, so we will let you know shortly.

We will have a way that anyone can support our efforts to give
back to the Big Spring community and support one of the ten teams flying at the
Big Spring Nationals. More soon.
