Greetings!
What an amazing beginning. I wanted to update you earlier, but my time at SXSW in Austin was engrossing and left me with a lot of work to do once I got home.
Here's what's in this update:
1. Campaign stats
& other news2. The 33% by 33% Challenge
3. Top content to share.
1. Campaign stats & other newsWe have $2,380 in pledges and created 26 tweets and 131 Facebook shares (though I think it's more)
.
This has made the Adventures the "hottest" campaign on the Start Some Good platform (check it out at
www.StartSomeGood.com).
We made some great progress at SXSW in Austin last week, co-hosting the Awesome Foundation party and moderating the Philanthropy for Everyone panel. Lots of follow up to do, but I believe I made some very valuable contacts. Stay tuned for post-SXSW content and announcements.
2. The 33% by 33% ChallengeThis is a terrific start. Now it's time to up our game to stay on track to hit the basic goal.
Help us raise $3,333 by the end of Tuesday. This will mark reaching 33% of the basic "tipping point" goal by the time 33% of the campaign has passed.
Check out this post to learn how to help us reach that goal:
