President Bush's fund raising by the numbers:

2000:

-raised all-time presidential record $106 million for primary campaign.

-did so with help from more than 200 ``pioneers,'' fund-raising volunteers who each collected at least $100,000 for the Bush campaign.

2001:

-set GOP record by helping Republican National Committee raise $23.9 million at its annual gala, but fell short of single-event record of $26.5 million set in 2000 by then-President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore at a Democratic National Committee barbecue.

2002:

-beat Clinton-Gore record, headlining RNC gala that took in more than $30 million.
