Are you into Giving To Charities???
As some of you, who regularly read my blog may know, I am a fan of @Alyssa_Milano but not so much for her acting, which I enjoy, but for her philanthropy. In that spirit for her 37th birthday on 12/19/09 she asked of her fans/followers to support My Charity: Water in lieu of the usual flood of Birthday presents.
My Charity: Water focus' on the 1,000,000,000+ who do not have access to clean water and how that affects their development, particularly brain development, resulting in the cycle of poverty. To date they have raised $800,000+ helping 40,000+ people with 160 water projects.
You can learn a tremendous amount about the organization by reading this
Anyways, @Alyssa_Milano asked her fans/followers to support her cause with a goal of $25,000. As usual, she underestimated her fan base, and instead of it taking a few weeks, her fans reached her goal in only 4 days. If you go to her donation page you will see that the overwhelming majority of donations were under $100, alot were only $37 in honor of her 37th birthday. As I am not here to BS you, I must acknowledge that there were pledges of $3700, but the number of contributions that was in the 4 digits or more clubs was only 4
Simple point is, only 4 of all the donations were in excess of $999.
Most were significantly less, as you will see many were for $37 in honor of her 37th birthday. We are talking about ONLY $20 per recipient to create a permanent source of CLEAN WATER for the community. This is a gift that not only lasts a lifetime but it is a generational gift that keeps on giving.
@Alyssa_Milano is not asking this to be your sole charitable contribution, but it is easy for you to not only make a nominal contribution, but as you explore the site you will see how easy it is to set up a personal site to raise awareness and funding for a quality organization that uses 100% of donations for the cause.
UPDATE: She reached her goal of $50,000 already, and has since raised it to $75,000....for now
