Donations are gathered to support emission offsets from event attendees, exhibitors, and
sponsors. For most events, donations of $20 per attendee (Based on 20,000 attendees) will let us offset
the emissions covered by the energy use associated with this event by over 200%
(Based on an estimated cost to buy green power certificates = 1.0 cents per kWh)
In kind donations are used to help offset the
emissions generated by the 2008 FBR OPEN and then retired by Leonardo Academy.
