===== WHAT IS THIS? =====
For Pipkin Pippa's birthday, we got her a billboard in Tennessee!
Yes, this is real - go there and see for yourself, before the lease expires on April 30th! https://goo.gl/maps/uKweHUY6cqA8j85h8
===== HOW MUCH? =====
The price to put up the billboard for 2 months was $3,100 (as quoted to me by the advertising representative):
- $1,100 for the vinyl production and installation
- $2,000 for the rental ($1000 for each month of March and April)
Everything has been paid for already, so this isn't a time-sensitive thing - I'm just recouping the cost! I'm also contributing some of my own money toward this project, so the listed donation goal is less than the combined price.
We had previously succeeded in reaching the required goal for 1 month, but a number of people expressed interest in contributing toward a second month, so I went ahead and got it and re-opened the fundraiser (and it turns out everyone was extremely generous, so I went ahead and paid for the 2nd month as well)!

[EDIT: got enough donations that I'd feel bad for not going a full 3 months (I got more funding from additional sources, and I'm chipping some in myself), so it should be up through May 31st. A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported this silly project, you're all truly wonderful - but donate any more money you'd use for this on Pippa and the other Phase Connect talents!]
[SECOND EDIT: so unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the full extension to go through the end of May - another company actually signed the lease for the next few month's slots at the last minute right before I put in for the extensions (they did on her birthday). But they were willing to delay and give us our 2nd month, so the billboard will be up until April 30th! I'm working to get GoFundMe to refund the most recent donations so that everything matches up correctly to about $2600 instead, but a huge thank you to everyone for your generosity!!!]
