Now, since you say this is for "charity", you can make a donation to my favorites--either the Disabled American Veterans in your state, or some animal rights group (PETA; the Humane Society, etc). My answer might be deleted because, as far as I can tell, this guy is still living.

Can't help you tonight...hope your charity work isn't due first thing in the morning. But I can give you the email address and contact info of the Associate Sports Information Director at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She can get you all the information you need on Wednesday: dkn@athletics.wisc.edu <dkn@athletics.wisc.edu>
