Do a kickstarter and spread the news all over campus and to elite EMAWs. This does two: 1. Further advertises for the board (although you guys do a tremendous job of that anyway) hopefully expanding the member base so that 2. We spread the cost over more people to donate. Here's where the elite EMAWs with their elite money come into play. Even with this, we will still probably need to fundraise our asses off, but it could give us a good starting base.
Edit: looking at gE's member list, assuming that half are cat fans (approx 2,000), to raise the $75,000, we would need $37.50 donated from every EMAW. This is a highly unlike scenario that all 2,000 would donate, but it also that it is extremely likely that we could acquire the financial capital needed if we all pitched in.
