Donation Contest Winner
Last month on March 15th, I decided to celebrate the 3 month anniversary of this site by hosting a donation contest. I was really in the giving spirit when I offered up to $500 to charity. I even said that I would let YOU decide which charity that money was going to go to. In order to participate you had to have a website, and had to have linked over to the contest page to participate.
For each participant I added $1 into the donation pool, until I reached the current total. I wrote down all of the names of the participants and numbered them. I then used the random number generator to pick the lucky winner.
The lucky winners are our neighborhood relationship experts Dan and Jennifer. The donation that they have selected is Operation Kindness, which is a no-kill animal shelter in North Texas. This charity is legit, and its such a great cause. If you look at their front page you’ll fall in love with some of these animals as well.
While the amount of participants in the contest generated only $27 towards this charity, I’m going to round it up to $50. I also hope that this contest encourages people to donate to a charity that they believe in.
If you are interested in donating money to Operation Kindness, you can do so via their donation page.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this charity event, and I hope you will participate next time I host something of this nature.

Hey Alex,
Thanks again, this is really cool.
And here’s an interesting twist…
The day you emailed us to tell us we won the contest, Jennifer and I had decided we were going to find a good doggie charity to support. And no more than a couple hours later I got your email.
There are NO coincidences. I believe that more and more each day.
Thanks again for taking this great initiative.
Have an awesome day!
Dan
