Virgo Fundraising Challenge

Oh, it's on now.

Oh, it's on now.

It began when admitted Virgo and known instigator Erin decided to start a fundraiser for her upcoming birthday.  Not to be outdone, fellow Virgo Vikki decided to up the stakes.  Together, they challenged paramedic student and notoriously competitive competition competer Travis to join in, and the Great Virgo Fundraising War of 2018 began.
Of course, senior Virgo and Mistress of the Monies Penny was never going to let this pass unanswered.  Showing the young people how it's meant to be done, she'll be doing a double match of all contributions to her fundraiser up to $1000 and 1-to-1 match for contributions up to the $2000 mark.
This is the face of a man who knows he's going to win.

Now it's a race to see who can get the most donations by mid-September, but in true Virgo fashion, these crafty, service-oriented emergency responders have created a situation where no matter who loses, everyone will win, including our beloved community.  All told, if all those fundraising bars fill up, we'll raise $7500 for OVFD, funds very much needed for our new fire hall.  There's probably a million other things the Fire Department needs, but thankfully we have all these detail oriented neat freaks on our team to keep track of that stuff amirite?  They're probably making bullet-pointed lists, flow charts, and spreadsheets to prioritize everything even as we speak.  Still, we love these nerds, even if they're probably going to argue about the optimal way to organize the new rescue rig until the end of time.

 

Pick your Virgo folks: Erin, Vikki, Travis, Penny

 

Look at this instigator, instigating things. Probably plotting more potential philanthropy involving other people's precious pay presently.

Penny has more important things to do than worry about the three kids challenging her authority as Queen Virgo. Like keeping tabs on this big kid.
