Dear Family and Friends –Well, let's face it, you're really just our Donation Victims at the moment…
Yes, we admit it, we're here to nag & beg you again. But before you hit delete and/or block me from your email (which by the way that is a joke, not a suggestion), please read the whole email. I'll try to keep it short.
The Charity Challenge competition is still going where the top four charities who receive the most unique donors (meaning no repeat donors) will receive a $50,000 donation at the end. The challenge will be over on January 31st at 3:00pm eastern time.
This is why we're begging you again! We need more donors in order to secure our place in the top four. Currently we are #3, and we have very few new people donating and things are moving at a crawl for us. Places #4 and #5 are close behind us and are receiving large numbers of donations each day. If they keep going at the rate they are, we will be #5 by the end of the competition and will not receive the $50,000 donation. Aahhh! I'd offer those of you who donate, something in return, such as rubbing your feet, but most of you live too far away (and I'm sure you have really stinky feet). So, hopefully our gratitude will be enough.
If you have an extra $10 laying around in your bank account, please consider donating. Here's how:
- Go here: http://www.parade.com/givingchallenge?source=pressAGC
- Choose "Fanconi Anemia Research Fund" next to Peggy's name.
- Click "Donate" on Peggy's charity badge.
- Then finish the donation process by entering your credit, debit, or PayPal info (you can enter "Emma Clifton" as who you are donating in honor of, if you'd like).
- You only need to donate $10 per person to count as a donor. If you are a couple, you both can donate $10 separately (only $20 total – be sure to do it as separate donations).
We need as many donors as possible in order to place in the top four. There are so few FA families in the USA, and we are struggling to find enough donors. It's rather frustrating to say the least! FA is difficult enough, and it can be maddening sometimes that getting money for research is such a fight since there are so few of us to raise awareness and money for it. There are only 300 FA families in the USA. So, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
If you're comfortable doing this, would you consider sending this to your family and friends as well? Find random people on the street and ask them to donate? Stop traffic and throw little paper airplanes of this email printed off into people's cars? There are so many options on how to get the word out…
Thank you to everyone who has already donated. We really, really appreciate it! We promise we don't love you just for your money. We also love you because you have really good hair and shower regularly.
Love,Terri & Tyler Clifton
PROBLEMS?If you have any problems getting it to work, here are a couple of solutions:
Turn off your pop-up blocker, if you have one.
If that doesn't work, then you most likely don't have the flash player needed. You can get that here for free: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/-- ~Teresa~Family Website:http://cliftonclan.blogspot.com
