Dear Colleagues and friends:

This is a brief update to let you know we have just managed to break the US$20k barrier for our fundraising campaign to support a future memorial award to remember Fried. We are now working on making a formal proposal to the IBPSA Award and Fellows Committee which we plan to submit shortly.

In the meantime, the fundraising campaign is still open and running on GoFundMe, https://gofund.me/4db92122
It would be nice if we could add another $5k to $10k.

Thanks for your donations, help and kind words,
Pieter de Wilde
