This is my blog about online and personal fundraising pages. I watch TV online. I read online the books I buy online. Not to mention my newspaper online. Just joking I don’t read the paper. I pay my bills online. I date online. It’s going great. I talk to my nephew online and my uncle and I have never talked offline. I work out with an online yoga teacher. In fact I do so much online that no one’s seen me in a few years. I did get confirmation of my good looks from a photo radar ticket that came in the mail the other day; plus, the sunglasses I just bought are a real winner. I was wearing them in the ticket picture, thankfully. So, I figured this time, it was time to get out, especially having looked so good in that ticket. I was going to host a real live in person event fundraiser.
I started cleaning the house, thinking of fabulous hors d’oeuvres, and sending out invitations: Fundraise Online From My House! Don’t forget your laptop, your charity fundraising page, and if you don’t have one, we’ll help you create one on Crowdrise, and Raise Money Online for your favorite Charity or some great looking girl’s that you want to ask out later!
I left that last part out but it’s true.
The party was a hit. We had tables of apps and table of laptops set up with internet donation pages and online fundraising pages. We had smoked salmon and people talking about not smoking salmon. We had fondue and people not eating fondue too scared of H1N1, talking about immunizations in the world’s poorest countries. We had friends wanting to create their own online donation pages for the most noble charities so they could raise money online, too. We had trivia table and the prizes were a donation to your fundraising page. We had a poker table and the chips were worth donations to charity so at the end of the night, if you had chips, you could pass them out and your friends had to make online donations to your online donation page in the amount of the chip. What was supposed to be a happy hour lasted into the night. What was supposed to be a small event turned out to be my volunteer community.
Not to mention that one boy who asked me out after he donated to my online fundraising page seven times. I think it was because I was wearing my Crowdrise hat.
