The + 1 Challenge

My goal of the $18,490 is $10K, yes $10 G's. Easiest/best way I see this happening is 500 people giving $20 each. That's it. $20. 500 people. Wait, what(!?)...

In order to reach that goal, I'm asking for your help. I'll need your help! The challenge...to donate $20 to the cause AND recruit one more person to donate $20 (assuming it's someone you can ask to do the same, even better - kinda pyramid-ish I know :)).

Have 5 friends donate...your $20 turns into $100. (Who needs some big fancy corporate/anonymous donor to match gifts, when we have crowdsourced micro fundraising?!)

Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter people (we know who you are), please consider posting to your status, sending a bulletin, tweeting, etc. Use your networks. This is what the social web is all about!

Of course, larger donations are appreciated and welcome (if you mussst). But truthfully, how AWESOME to be a part of demonstrating the power of community, how little actions can collectively have BIG impact. [And, not to mention, we'd definitely be breaking some Climbing for Kids donation records!]

Who's going to be your +1?

Rock on. Gracias.
