THANK YOU PEERLESS LIGHT FOR $10,000 USD, AND TO ALL THE INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE DONORS FOR A TOTAL OF $12,000 USD!
 You have answered the call, and the prospect of Mark Roush, IALD Education Trust President, taking a flying leap from an airplane netted over $12,000 USD in donations to the Trust.
"I'm happy to know I have so many people cheering me on to jump out of an airplane," Mark said sarcastically. "Dead or alive, I will now know that I'm not the only one who cares about the future of lighting design education." Mark will jump tomorrow, 3 October, with Dr. Kevin Houser, Educator IALD, of Pennsylvania State University, and his students.
To attest to all donors that the flying leap actually happened, Mark has pledged to videotape the historic event and show it at Enlighten Americas 2009 on 8-10 October. CLICK HERE to view the video.
"I am deeply moved by the generosity of this industry. On behalf of the IALD Education Trust, a big 'thank you' goes out to all the donors!"
In an effort to raise money for the IALD Education Trust, Mark Roush, IALD Education Trust President, volunteered to jump out of an airplane if the Trust could raise $10,000 USD in one week. Mark's skydiving experience was paid for by him personally. All donations will go directly to the IALD Education Trust to help promote the study of lighting design.
There are still opportunities to donate to the Trust. Send in your donation form today!
