Paulson Ain’t Got Nothing on Us
posted on 10/06/2008 by EthanOur economy is in the tank; your 401(k) has taken a nosedive and you’re about to ask Grandma Elsie for her favorite Depression era recipe for shoe soup. We know it’s not pretty out there, and trust us, we feel your pain. That’s why we’ve decided to come to the rescue. That’s right, you heard it here first, folks. After days of negotiation, the powers that be at GiveForward have passed an historic $300 bailout plan to jumpstart the old economic engines.
OK, so maybe it’s not as monumental as $700 billion, but we are giving away 300 smackers to help jumpstart your fundraising efforts. Here’s how the GF bailout plan works:
On October 26th GiveForward is traveling to New York to Run for a Reason in the Poland Springs Marathon Kickoff Fun Run.
If you are running with us on the 26th, you are eligible for either of the two cash prizes below
- $150 cash prize will go to the person/team that raises the most amount of money for their fundraiser.
- $150 cash prize will be awarded to the person/team that receives the greatest number of donations (regardless of how much money you raise).
You can keep the cash prizes for yourself, donate them to your charity or use them as incentives to get people to donate (e.g. tell your friends and family that if they help you win the contest by donating to your fundraiser, you will give away the prize to one randomly selected donor).
- contest rules and other mumbo jumbo: Teams can be up to 4 members; contest ends 11:59 on Oct 25; if you already started your fundraiser, all donations raised so far count toward your totals.
