I was just getting used to the idea of us being at $1,000, and then I had a great surprise waiting in my email when I got to my desk this morning.
Thanks, Dave! You got us to the next milestone.
Good luck, everyone!
Remember -
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.
Note: The chump change on the end of the total is there because PayPal takes a small fee on each transaction.
I had to think long and hard about who I would donate the money to if I win. There's so many charities and so many areas in need. Some get more attention than others too! I want the money to help someone right now; I'm very impatient. I've been a Girl Scout leader for 6 years now and have seen how it helps girls grow strong. My daughter, Lydia, is full of confidence and always having fun with the events we go to. She's also been able to go to resident camp 3 years in a row. She's been able to enjoy archery, hiking, canoes, and horseback riding all these years when so many girls have not ever been at all. In fact, many of them cannot even afford the vests or books and have to ask for financial aid.
ReplyDeleteSan Jacinto Council has a scholarship program to send girls to camp that, otherwise, would never get to experience it. If I win I will donate the money to this program. The amount that's already been raised is enough to cover the cost to send 3 girls to Girl Scout camp for a week!
