Two Weeks Left!!!
aug302007
Just two weeks left to go on the Ghost Army charity badge campaign. We've made great progress, but now we need a big push to reach our goal.
As of this writing, 64 people have donated just over $3000 through the badge. Half of that has come in the last two weeks! Many donations have come from people who haven't previously given, and some who hadn't even heard of the project before this campaign.
To all of you who have donated, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. We have two donor families that have each agreed to match the donations through the charity badge, so that $3000 in donations will translate into $9000 for the project--much needed money that will go to archival research, footage research, scripting, and some shooting.
If you HAVEN'T made a donation through the badge, we would really love your help.
To earn an additional matching grant from sixdegrees.org, we have to get the largest number of people possible to donate through the badge. The outpouring of generosity so far has enabled us to hold our position in the top 10, but we will need every donor possible to have a shot at ending up in the top six.
The Ghost Army badge is at the right.
Just a $10 donation will help. It's easy. Just click on the DONATE button and follow the instructions to make a tax deductible donation. ***Important: On the "Designation" line please type in THE GHOST ARMY.
If you can convince even one other person to donate, that too would be a tremendous help.
When I look at the top ten badges I see that most of them are for charities that have to do with animals. It's tough competing against causes that involve dachshunds and horses and cats. This one involves real people who went to war and used creativity to save tlives. Today these extraordinary men are in their 80's and 90's. Please help us to tell their story.
Thanks for all your help and support.
