Dollar for Dollar Challenge

We've had plenty of pleading, cajoling, and explaining.  It's time for direct action.

We here at Hicks Car Works are offering a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge for contributions to Barn 14 construction.  You make a contribution to any Barn 14 fund, we'll match it -- within limits.  Minimum of $25, maximum of $500 per person up to a total limit of $5,000.  We want this barn to get started NOW.  This offer is good for exactly one month, until December 20, 2012.

Here's how it works.  You donate to any fund to be used for Barn 14 construction, such as RISWEC.  You can send a check to this address:

Illinois Railway Museum
Box 427
Union, IL   60180

or donate online through our secure website at this link.

Send an email to randallhicks at wideopenwest dot com to notify us with your name and the amount.  Include "Barn 14" in the subject line.  We'll confirm that your donation has been received, and match it.  Your money does double duty.

Let us know if you want your name mentioned -- we'll be glad to give you some free publicity -- otherwise we won't.  You can also include a brief essay on why you're contributing to this cause, which we'll publish.  You won't find a better deal at any other museum!

Employees of Hicks Car Works and their families are not eligible for this special offer.  Please do not send cash or stamps.  Void where prohibited or taxed.
