If it was posted somewhere on the boards, there's a good chance they missed a very large number of users. I'm sure there are plenty of people like myself that never venture into the boards and only navigate to the trainers they want (and then see the relevant posts).
If there was a fundraiser, it should be something posted on the main page of the site for max visibility.
