PG Intiative No. 1 20 SAR MAGAZINE 2013-14 President General Initiative No. 1 President General's Challenge, Part A (Opportunity for State Societies) From July 11, 2013, through July 15, 2014, if a state society donated $400 to the SAR Center for Advancing America's Heritage, President General Joseph A. Dooley donated an additional $100 to the SAR Center in that state society's name so that the state society was credited with a $500 donation. From July 11, 2013 through July 15, 2014, if a state society donated $750 to the SAR Center for Advancing America's Heritage, PG Dooley donated an additional $250 to the SAR Center in that state society's name so that the state society was credited with a $1,000 donation. President General Initiatives President General's Challenge, Part B When he became President General, PG Dooley promised that if we raised $1 million for the SAR Center for Advancing America's Heritage by or during the 2014 NSSAR Congress, he would shave his head bald, right on the floor of the Congress. During the Monday business session of the 2014 Congress, PG Dooley called upon SAR Foundation President Sam Powell for a report on how much money had been raised since Dooley became PG. Dr. Powell's report: $972,000! So, the task before the delegates was to raise another $28,000 by Wednesday of Congress week, or PG Dooley would keep his hair. During the Tuesday banquet of the Congress, PG Dooley asked Dr. Powell for another report. Dr. Powell announced that we had taken in a whopping $45,000, and were, therefore, well over the $1 million needed to shear PG Dooley's head. Dr. Powell added that if we included restricted donations, during PG Dooley's term, the SAR Foundation had raised $1.3 million. Dr. Powell stated, "The amount raised during [PG Dooley's] term was the largest over the past six years in terms of the number of donors." Dr. Powell added that he "was extremely happy that during [PG Dooley's] term we received $461,404.96 from members that came in $100 to $10,000 amounts in support of the Phase II Campaign. In addition to that, we received $60,692 from chapters and state societies, and $50,185.11 from the Ladies Auxiliary." August 1, 2013 ............................
