# GrabPERF: Support comes from the most unexpected places

Later today, I will be discussing an offer of support for the [GrabPERF](http://www.grabperf.org/) System which came in last night.
I know that I have made my need for hardware and financial support for GrabPERF [fairly](http://www.grabperf.org/announce.php) [clear](http://www.grabperf.org/donation.php) over the last couple of days. However, I was impressed and surprised by this offer of sponsorship/support, especially given who the person making the gesture is.
I won't say reveal any details yet (yes, I am stealing a Buzz Marketing trick from [Scoble](http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/) and [Wright](http://www.ensight.org/)), but this is a very exciting development for the GrabPERF System.
Perhaps corporate sponsorship is the model I need to look at for this.
