I don't know what something like that would take, or how it would be recieved

Just so my position is clear, the goal is not to just donate to charity. The goal is to perform a project in the area, be it rehabbing a rec center, or working with habitat for humanity, or even trying to do something with Art's Good Samaritan foundation, but we want to actually construct something as a group, as a team. Something that we can dedicate when we're finished.
Petitions are a nice idea but have basically zero impact. I'm asking people to get off their seats and get their hands dirty. This only works if we all join together.
There's multiple benefits here:
1. We get to say Thank You to Art.
2. We give back to the community the way Art did/does.
3. We can show how strong Art's fan base is.
4. You know any other HoF candidates who had their fans do this on their behalf? Harry Carson I don't think so.
5. We will certainly get media coverage if we do this right. And that's going to help Art's cause.
Art would never campaign for himself the same way he would never do an endzone dance after scoring a TD. He would just go back to doing the right thing. I think it's time that we, his fans, stop protesting and screaming, and do what Art would have done: lead by example.
