Donation Contest Winner

Posted By Alex Shalman On April 20, 2007 @ 9:13 pm In Updates | 1 Comment

Last month on March 15th, I decided to celebrate the 3 month anniversary of this site by hosting a [1] 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 [2] random number generator to pick the lucky winner.

The lucky winners are our neighborhood [3] relationship experts Dan and Jennifer. The donation that they have selected is [4] 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 [5] 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.
