Raising Money and Awareness
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:18 pmHey Guys,
I dont' know why I haven't thought to post this on here sooner. But I've been involved in helping raising money and awareness for a cause that has hit close to home. An IT collegue and friend of mine from the US office, suffered a massive stroke and further complications which left him battling to survive. Over the course of the last few months since the initial stroke I've been following his progress and the efforts by friends and family in creating a foundation that will help Steve and other young stroke victiums (he was only 33 years old). http://sthstrokefoundation.blogspot.com/
Anways I've been using one of the few commodites I have to offer at the moment which is my photography and donating any money raised selling prints, or getting paid on gigs to raise money for the foundation. I've also been promoting on facebook and with friends and family, and only now do I get the genuis idea of letting you all know too.
So please take a look, fellow RB users I'd appreicate any comments or journal articles to send people my direction. There are other ways to help out if you feel so included, the foundation does accept Paypal donations or you can buy nifty t-shirts.
Note currently donations aren't tax ductuble, as they need to payword processed to provide them with the appropriate license etc

So far over 150 bucks has been raised by myself and Dawesy on the forum, with a few more sales or gigs in the pipeline.
Thanks,
Craig
