Special thanks to those who gave large donations

There was a tie for the largest donation made this day; both Larry Skarpness Jr and K J Raymond Wong gave $500 USD. There were also many donors who gave the equivalent of about $100 or more (listed in no particular order); Marcel Duchamp, Daniel Stark, Marco Klaey, Nathan Oravetz, Thomas Azlin, Jack Child, David Harding, and 14 anonymous donors.

Note: While large donations are great, it should be noted that about 70% of all the money donated to the Wikimedia Foundation comes from donations that are the equivalent of $50 or less and the average donation is about $25.
