    Congrats to all the organizers and participants who showed what a concerted effort can accomplish.

    And special thanks to Coley for the financial information provided. Only the second time I've personally seen the accounting after an event (SFS, the other).

    Maybe a new trend?

        This is an astounding sum considering the small number of participants!

        anyone who likes math care to extrapolate that amount/participant
        to a large event with say, 10k folks? or even 15K? 20K?

        Great job Coley, and thanks for the ride in your truck to the parking lot
        after the event. I thought Guy was going to kill us all with his driving but
        we made it.

          To expand on what Steve said, my math shows that $20.79 of each registered participants' $25.00 went to the park or 84%.

          That doesn't even take into account the rail drive portion.

          Excellent.....

            Wow....an absolutely peerless event and a virtually unprecedented sum raised for preservation. The guys who put on Pickett's Mill 2004 have indeed set a new standard for the rest of us to emulate!

            Cordially,

              Steve:

              Agreed. This is an outstanding effort. At your request, and just for fun...

              $11249.00/291 registered reenactors = $38.66 donated per reenactor. This assumes that expenses would increase proportionately with participants at a similiar event.

              At $38.66 per registered reenactor,

              10K = $386,600
              15K = $579,900
              20K = $773,200

              We did a comparison a while back on Szabo's between the Antietam Preservation March and Gettysburg 140th. Kind of makes that $25,000 donated at G-Burg (8,000 participants) look a bit smallish, to put it mildly...

                Eric, your theory here is a little flawed as you don't know the number of people that donated rail money from Coley's email. For example, I purchased rails but didn't go to the event. I think my method above gives a "cleaner" picture of a per participant amount. If we knew the number of rail donors, we could get that number.

                    Coley, John, Tripp, et al - this event is now the standard and a model for not only authenticity, but for financial responsibility, dedication and simple hard work for all the right reasons. The fact that this info came out so quickly is all the more impressive.

                    Think you guys just improved on a new term: EBUFUP - "Events By Us For Us For Preservation."

                    Congratulations!
