A $3 Donation?

by

Last week I posted about the Beauty Blog Network’s Comments for a Cure … where participating bloggers donated $1 per comment made from June 4th - 6th to the cancer charity of their choice.

I thought I’d revisit the posts on this site during that time period to see how many comments I received. Three. That would make my donation three bucks … were I officially participating.

So, I’m giving you an official chance to make a difference. I know I have a lot of lurkers b/c I’ve seen the stats (we’re talking hundreds of people each day).

I’m having my own ‘comments for the cure’ competition. I’m going to donate $1 per comment today and tomorrow (that’s Thursday, June 14th and Friday, June 15th) to the American Cancer Society. I’ll add those previously mentioned $3 to the top of whatever the grand total is (let’s make that $3 look ridiculous).

And, I’ll mail a copy of our next book club selection “Cancer Vixen” to a randomly selected commenter.

Come out, come out, wherever you are …

    My mother survived breast cancer, so I am all about the cure!

    Add me to your one dollar donation list, and I’ll match your final donation too. So there’s a challenge for anyone else listening!

    What a GREAT community of commenters you have, honey. I love the matching thing. Count me in. I will also match the final number.
    So, Elke, Catslyn and I will match the final number and increase the donation 3 fold!

    Mark Jabo (Commenter #2 today) emailed me privately and said he’d do the same. Four people matching donations. If I get 25 comments, that’s $100 for the ACS. If I get 50 comments, that’s $200.

  17. Karen Lynch Says:

    Wait … I can’t do math.

    Add my donations to both those numbers!
