    Sac Brony Expo Kickstarter Funded and More

    KickStarter Funded!

    Surprise! We have reached our original goal of $2000 and have actually surpassed it, with $2437 dollars! We definitely have to give a round of applause to the 43 people who have donated to our cause! We couldn’t have made it without your help. Of course, we also have to thank our media outlets for getting the word out to everyone. You have all been a great help. A majority of the funds will go directly to Sacramento State University to pay off our venue, and the remaining money will go to convention essentials, including the KickStarter Donation Prizes. We still plan on doing additional fundraisers to get other convention necessities paid for.

    Also, the My Little Pony and Interests Club at Sac State will be joining in on our fundraising efforts! Check them out at their web page! [http://sacstate.orgsync.com/org/mlpandinterests]
