HOORAY TEAM!!! @wellwishes is surging ahead in search of its tipping point.
We passed $2500 @tipjoy donations just in the nick of time to earn an extra $100 challenge match! We’re halfway to our first $5,000 MATCH!!! UPDATE: Just over $2,000 more via @tipjoy and the whole thing ratchets up to $13k because of matching. and…
- $7000 raised so far = one FULL VILLAGE will have clean water
- Red Sox tickets! Silent Auction to see the Braves v. Red Sox in Atlanta
- Watch this space: we anticipate coverage on
twothree of the web’s BIGGEST blogs in the next 24 hours - THANKS to all who donated and/or jumped on the 10 FREE ways you can help
Is raising $25,000 in 7 days by asking 12,500 people to donate $2 each a little, um, nuts? HELL YEAH. But can we pull it off?

blogged and tweeted it – love trying new media for cause marketing. best of luck with the campaign – it is a cause close to my heart.
@tresha THANK YOU, will add.
What’s amazing to me about all this, once we get just $2,234.60 more in @tipjoy payments, we will have raised $13,000, because of the matching money!!!
THAT is a real Tipping Point.
