Hi,

I read in Sunday's Parade that they are doing their Giving Challenge again with the Case Foundation. Is OCF participating this year? When I searched for OCF, it looked like there was something, but all the amounts were for $24. Since $10 is the minimum for the Giving Challenge, I wasn't sure if that was the right link, or if it was for another donation challenge.

I couldn't find any mention of it on the OCF forums, but when I went to the OCF store, I saw a link for donating, which had a goal of raising $2500. I don't think this is for the Parade Challenge, so I'm wondering, does it matter how I donate?

I could just donate on OCF as I usually do, but would like to help if we are involved in any "Challenges" or other special fund-raising efforts.

And, if we are currently involved in more than one, which would be the most beneficial?

Thanks!

Here is the direct link to donate to the cause without going through FaceBook: https://www.causes.com/fb/donations/new?cause_id=334112
Also, 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??
