It’s been 12 days since I announced that I was giving away my iPad to raise money for The Adventure Project’s health campaign.

So far I’ve raised $996 of my $5,000 goal.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated. I am blessed by your generosity and it will make a huge impact! Literally. Your gifts will train and equip 6 Ugandan women as healthcare promoters. Each of them impacts 700 people. That’s 4,200 Ugandans who will now have access to affordable meds that will SAVE LIVES!

The iPad drawing is at midnight tomorrow (AZ time which is 3am ET). So far there are only 37 names. That means if you give $25 you would have a 1 in 38 chance of winning an iPad. Seriously dude – those are some awesome odds!

But I’m sweetening the pot because I want to reach my goal. I know not everyone can do $25. So I’ll do a separate drawing for a $50 gift card to either Starbucks, iTunes or Amazon (winner’s choice) for a donation of ANY amount. Because little donations matter and can add up to huge impact. (Winner draw date TBD.)

*If you give $25 or more you are entered in the iPad drawing only. I want to make it far to those giving for the gift card drawing.

There is power in numbers. We want 2011 to be the year that World Orphans starts a movement of people who care about orphans and want to spread the message. So much that our boss has thrown out a little challenge to us staff members and is bribing us w/ Starbucks gift cards out of his own wallet 🙂 There’s a competition to see who can recruit the most members to two causes on Facebook (see links below).

Help orphans AND fuel my caffeine addiction – it’s a double win 🙂 The competition ends at our staff retreat in just a couple of weeks.

Will you take two minutes and “JOIN” both these causes? (These link give me “credit” as the recruiter.) Feel free to post them on your FB as well 🙂
