As reported in the Café last week, the Wings Over Sweden Kickstarter project is in a mad dash to the finish and needs pledges to fund a promo for the Wings Over Sweden TV documentary about soaring. As I write, the project has only 22 hours to go. To date, 151 backers have pledged funds and the project has raised ~$US 48,000 of their ~$US 51,000 goal, so they need another $3,000 in pledges by 12:00 PM CST (1700 CET) Sunday, March 10th. If they are even $1 short of the goal by the deadline, they must return all pledges and the project will end.

Please consider pledging to this worthy project, which will culminate in an exciting video that will help introduce TV audiences worldwide to our wonderful sport.

“The finish line is Sunday at 17:00 CET (12:00pm EDT). If we reach our target one minute later, our project remains unfunded and all the rewards are cancelled. So, let’s agree that the final glide for this race starts ….. today.” – From the Website
