23 Comments made $115 for the American Cancer Society

by

bbn_cure_forweb1.jpgI added up the dollar amount for my ‘comments for the cure’ contest (the idea I borrowed from The Beauty Blog Network). Over the course of two days, this blog saw 23 comments. That means I owe the American Cancer Society $23.

And … Elke, Catslyn, Mark Jabo and Tim Lynch (my dear husband) all said they’d match whatever dollar amount we came up with.

You guys can donate online here.

Can you believe it? This blog, in two days, raised $115 for the ACS. Great job, everyone. It is such a symbolic gesture for survivors everywhere. Thank you.

Seriously … thank you … from the bottom of my heart.

    Good morning. OK, I commented on the original post $1 + I posted to add $4 to round up an earlier post, + I said I would match the total $23 = $28 then Karen said that she would donate $1 per comment = $23 so lets see thats $51. I used the link this morning and completed our contribution of $60. Here is my confirmation:
    Donation Amount: 1 donation of $60.00
    Order ID: 423641
    Authorization Code: 126255

    Good work honey and thanks to all the commenters and matchers.

    Thank you honey. Since you rounded it up to $60, that includes the $3 raised on June 4th - 6th on this site, too.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Mmmm… I don’t get this! So if we comment you make money for your cause or what?

  6. Karen Lynch Says:

    Mihaela (and anyone else who is confused),

    I ran a ‘comments for a cause’ contest on this site last week. For each comment I received over the course of two days I said I’d donate $1 to the American Cancer Society. A few people said they would, too.

    It was a fun thing to do for a good cause but it was just those two days!

    At this point, comments are back to conversational only as opposed to philanthropic as well!

    Well, this sounds like a great idea and it was good to motivate your readers to comment this way. :) I was right: you are a real inspiration.
