Down to the Wire
A quick check over at Wendy’s 3 day update page shows that she still have $95 to go to meet her goal of $5000. AND - if she meets that goal - she shaves her head, too!
All monies raised go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.
We are REALLY getting down to the wire, folks . . . the 3 day begins on the 24th - that’s just 9 days away.
Now, what can I do to entice you?????
Here’s what I will promise to do - for each and EVERY dollar (up to $100) that any of you will donate to put Wendy over the top . . . I will match it. You donate $1 and I will give $1. My cap at this point is $100 - so if one person antes up the entire $100, that will be the end of it - but, HEY, you can up the ante yourself, you see. If you REALLY want to make a difference, write about it at YOUR site and offer to match funds up to whatever amount you can afford.
It’s what we all do together that counts in this world is what I’m thinking.
And, here’s just a little more to sweeten the pot:
Leave a comment here that you have donated - making sure to tell me what amount so that I can match it (if you are not comfortable telling here - email me the amount, okay?) - I will place all donors’ names into a (proverbial) hat and pull one out to win . . .
Yup - that’s a purple moose you see there - and a pair of socks with a purple moose on them as well. You see, I live in Alaska and I make my own fun!
There you go - you can donate to a good cause, have your donation matched, see Wendy go OVER her goal, see Wendy shave her head, AND . . . own a purple moose for your very own. What more could anyone want?
Let’s set a deadline, shall we???? The 3 day begins the 24th - so let’s set the 19th (Sunday) as our deadline.
Okay - fire away - let the commenting begin! Thank you, thank you very much!!!

Hi there! I donated $5. It’s not much, but it all helps, right?
I can send you the acknowledgment email if you need to confirm or anything.
Poiple moose!

I tossed another $10 into the pot. You’ll see it in honor of you on the scroll on Wendy’s 3-Day donation page.
Thank you so much for all you’ve done!
