| Hi everyone, The Oral Cancer Foundation just entered in America's Giving Challenge, which gives us a chance to win $50,000! To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MUCH YOU GIVE, but instead HOW MUCH YOU DO TO ENCOURAGE friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win. Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook who we can ask to donate to our cause. But let's think big too�can you put our cause in your email signature, can you throw a party and get people to donate through the cause when they enter, can you organize other people to go out and fundraise from all of their friends? As you reach out to your friends be sure to tell them why this cause matters to you. The possibilities are endless so let's talk about what we can do to win on the Wall of the cause or by replying to this bulletin. I think we can do it! But it's going to take all of us. Check out the Giving Challenge ( www.causes.com), then visit our cause to see how we're doing so far and get involved. Donate right now by going to http://www.causes.com/donations/select_donation_method?cause_id=334112Let's win $50,000 for The Oral Cancer Foundation!

I went thru FB but if I remember there was a Tab right below the FB tab that said something like Donate without FB. Did you try that or is your computer already in Arctic Winter Mode?

| Here is the direct link to donate to the cause without going through FaceBook: https://www.causes.com/fb/donations/new?cause_id=334112Also, I think the smartest way to do this would be to pick a date where everyone willing will donate $10 on that date. I can send a call for action out to those on our newsletter list but it would be great to have a team of people interested in helping me rally up their friends and family to donate on a set date. They awarad $1,000 to the charity with the greatest amount of donations in a day. The winners from today had 38 donations. I think thats achievable! We did it with the Cancer Fighters Award, we can do it for this too! Who's interested?? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 681 "Above & Beyond" Member (500+ posts) | | "Above & Beyond" Member (500+ posts)

Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 475 | I think it s very acheivable. Pick a date and lets get it out there. Malka suggested 11/2. Sound good to everyone? Megan, sound good?
We can do this and $10 per person is very reasonable.
Lets go!!!!!!

| Monday November 2nd sounds great to me! We will have 24 hours to bring in the most donations in attempt to win $1,000 for OCF. I believe that $10 is the minimum amount required to place a donation through that site and I don't think that's much to ask for either. I think we can do this! Please help rally up anyone you think will want to help to donate $10 on November 2nd. Again, here is the link needed to place a donation: https://www.causes.com/fb/donations/new?cause_id=334112 Thank you!! | | |
