Over $700 and Growing!

Current Prize

$720.08

We broke $700 this morning.

That means that a $5 contribution can give you the chance to donate over $700 to your favorite charity. The project ends on April 5th, so keep spreading the word.

I will keep updating this every few days to let everyone know what is happening with the project.

Donations for a chance to win the prize can be made with the Donate Button at the top of the blog. You can use PayPal or any major credit card. Checks can also be mailed to me at the address in my profile, or you can give it to me when you see me. If you send a check, I will email you to let you know I got it.

If you are wondering what is going on here, check out the first two blog entries or leave a comment with your contact info. I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Note: The chump change on the end of the total is there because PayPal takes a small fee on each transaction.

A Recap

The "Have a Little Faith" Project was started on February 18th and will end on April 5th.

It is a raffle with a little twist. The prize amount grows as more "tickets" are sold for $5 each. Each ticket gives the contributor one chance to win the entire prize.

The twist is that the winner of the raffle gets to do something wonderful with ALL of the money collected. They can choose any charity and just tell me where the money goes.

I then donate it in their name and share the story with everyone involved.

This is a way to multiply your generosity and show some faith and trust in the people around you.

For a little more background on how this this whole thing started, please check out the first two blog entries.

I would love to hear your stories, your plans and to get any other feedback that you might have.

Good luck!

An Experiment

This is the plan...

My bright idea is basically a raffle with a little twist.

First, I will take the $100 seed money that was given to me and match it with $100 of my own money.

We are now at $200. This is the starting prize.

Anyone who participates in this experiment will have the chance to choose the charity that receives all of the prize money. No strings attached. Just tell me who you want it to go to, and I will donate it in your name. It's that easy.

To have a chance to win and add to the prize, just contribute at least $5. For every $5 donated, you will get a "ticket" and a chance to win the whole thing and help out your favorite charity.

Donate $10, you get two tickets. Donate $100, you get 20 tickets. You get the idea.

On April 5th, I will have a random drawing using the tickets that everyone "bought."

Donations can be made through the Donate Button at the top of the blog. PayPal will accept all major credit cards and direct PayPal payments of course. You can also mail a check to me directly (see profile for address) or give it to me when you see me.

I don't know exactly where this is going to end up, but I can't wait to find out!
