The “Thanks, Obama” campaign launched by Spelman College graduates Bejidé Davis and Amanda Washington Lockett has launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to honor President Barack Obama during his exit from the White House.

The fundraiser is hoping to raise enough money so they can book a large venue for the big sendoff on Obama’s last day in office.

–Meet the Spelman grads who are trying to throw Obama an epic sendoff–

According to the page:

As we plan to show our gratitude and appreciation for President Obama on January 19 in Washington, D.C., we ask that each person who believes #YesWeCan and truly wants to say #ThanksObama to make one donation to help us secure a large venue for Thanks, Obama and make this dream send off a reality. If we all pitch in, we can make history.

We believe in him. Now, on his last full day in office, we must show him how much we will miss him as a pillar of hope in our communities.

It is truly up to us, The People, to Thank Obama.
