Well, we hit $500K in donations last night, and I must say, it made me do a little dance right there in the middle of my kitchen. I don’t care if the cats look at me all funny-like, it’s been a truly lovely project to have kept me so very busy this holiday season.
I’m sure many of you are *overwhelmed* with the number of deserving entries you’ve received, and many are wondering how to give *more* than the original offering you listed on the Map of Awesome.
An absolutely rad-tastic idea came from Elaine Brenner of Little Lives Photography. She says she’s “…still going to pick a ‘winner’…that one will get the $2000 in photo credit, etc. But for the others, I am finding sponsors. I have found sponsors to donate to cover the cogs on three additional families beyond the original winner. I will donate the time.
I’m really excited…these are some incredible stories. Kristen, thank you thank you thank you for following your heart. I’m thrilled to be a part of this.”
Sponsors — you had them for yearbook ads and your little league baseball team, why not for Giving is Awesome? Go find some!!!
