How to help OCF through America's Challenge:

November 2nd is the date that has been selected by supporters of the Oral Cancer Foundation to qualify for the $1,000.00 unique daily award.
Donations starting at $10.00 can be made by clicking on this link
https://www.causes.com/fb/donations/new?cause_id=334112

There is also a monthly award of $50,000 to the cause with the highest total number of unique daily donations over the 30 days of the Challenge. $25,000 will be awarded to the cause with the next highest total number of unique daily donations over the 30 days of the Challenge. $10,000 will be awarded to the next five causes with the highest total number of unique daily donations over the 30 days of the Challenge. These might be a bit of a challenge for a small non profit like OCF, but I bet we can win the one day challenge for $1,000.00!

Donations can be made daily and all will count toward the overall number. If you wish to donate more than $10, make sure that at least one donation is on our target date Nov. 2nd.

While I will definitely donate on Nov 2nd, the way I read the rules is that if OCF has the most donations that day, it will win a thousand dollars. To win the $50,000, OCF would have to have the most days of winning number of donations out of the entire thirty days. Winning just on Nov 2nd would not earn anything except the $1000 as well as count as one day towards the $50,000.
Also a technicality: [quote](Daily awards begin at 3:00pm ET and run through 2:59pm ET the following day.)[/quote]
I think that means that OCF members have to donate after 3pm on Nov 2nd (noon in Megan's time) and before 3pmET on Nov 3rd.
Based on the charity challenge, we should be able to win Nov 2nd.

Mark your calendars !!! November 2nd AFTER 3 PM ET (noon for our California posters) go to this link
OCF giving challenge
you can click on Facebook, or the Non-facebook box.
It takes you to a page where $25 is the default, (You can switch it to $10 as the minimum). It asks for a "tip" to causes which you can enter zero if you want while still being a valid vote.
Next you click again and are prompted for your credit card information and an email address to send you a receipt for tax purposes.
I JUST TRIED ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MADE A donation TODAY,
I did this early because I have had some private PMs expressing concern that the non facebook links did not work well last year and that donations were not counted.
So again, please all log onto this web site on Monday November 2nd after 3 pm ET and DONATE so we can win a cool one thousand dollars for OCF. Feel free to donate every day but if we all vote together on Nov 2nd, we can win. While I was typing this my receipt came into my email so it looks like all systems go.

BUMPing this up to the top. C'mon mark your calendars and get ready. Tuesday will be here soon

Tuesday? I thought this started a 3PM on Monday.

Take care,

Eileen:
indeed, it starts on Monday, November 2nd at 3pm ,buy since everybody here seems to wait until the last minute to finally give money, I was referencing the DEADLINE: 2:59 PM EST on Tuesday, Nov 3rd. It's not my fault that this contest does not comport with the calendar but since it started at 3pm EST, that is how the rules read.
You however are always an early bird so I understand your concern. If only more OCF posters were obsessive like us about doing it early & often (donate that is)

bumping back up again. time to get ready, get those credit cards out and start countdown to 3 pm Monday, Nov 2nd. Please mark your calendars and DONATE

Alright! I just sent out the November issue of the OCF newsletter and the first main article is a call to action asking people to help us with this challenge! Lets hope this motivates enough people to help! We will have from 3pm EST on Monday Nov. 2nd through 3pm EST Tuesday Nov 3rd. : )

But the newletter didn't say 3PM on Monday was the start time. Is there any way to send a correction? Not everyone signs onto the board.

Take care,
Eileen
