MN United lucked out on this one: Chan Poling—a passionate supporter of the Minnesota same-sex marriage campaign and former lead singer of 80s new wave band, The Suburbs— contacted MN United to invite the organization to use his eponymous song just as the campaign was heating up. What’s even more fantastic—and unexpected—is that Love is the Law (the song and the message) has outlived the initial campaign to become the anthem of the marriage equality cause in Minnesota.

This summer, I posted a question from Luke Reynebeau, a student board member and program coordinator for the University of Minnesota YMCA, about alternatives for fundraising thermometers. I’ve never liked fundraising thermometers. For me, unless you are fundraising to increase global warming or to pay for a new heating system in your building, temperature rising in a thermometer really doesn’t make much sense as a visual for achieving fundraising goals.
