Favourite Me for a Charity Final Total
Posted by Stephen on
April 15, 2007
Though technically, the contest ended on April 10th, I decided to run it for a couple more days to see if we could raise that Technorati total. But before I do that, I’d like to thank Foximus for the last minute blog link to try to push this contest. Kelly Cho also linked to my contest during her Shout Outs so I’d like to thank her too.
How Many Did We Get?
As of the end of the contest, we have a grand total of Sixty Two that favourited me. This is quite a far cry from our goal of one hundred. Even with Gary Lee helping me out with his Technorati Fave Me Train, we still weren’t able to make our goal (Thanks for the support Gary!). Nonetheless, I’d like to thank everyone that participated in the contest by either favouriting me and or linking the contest. It’s nice to know that there is a solid core of Dot Com Moguls in the making out there.
Who Gets the Prize?
Well, we’ve got two prizes. We’ve got a $62 donation from myself Derek Semmler and Michael Kwan. This gives us a total donation of $189. Unfortunately, since we weren’t able to hit 100 favourites, Shawn Knight is off the hook for his $50 bonus, though if you rough him up a little, I’m sure he’ll donate the $50 anyway, making our total $239. Thanks guys for pitching in to fatten the pot up for a good cause.
After a random, non mathematical drawing, un-authorized by any accounting firm, I have pulled Kelly Cho’s name from the virtual hat. Kelly, please contact me with your shipping details and I’ll get the shiny new Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 courtesy of Futurelooks out to you ASAP.
Once again, thanks everyone for helping me out with my Dot Com Mogul Checklist and give yourselves a check on #8 too for participating in something that gives back.

If you linked to my contest and I haven’t given you credit, or I haven’t favourited you yet, please leave a note in this thread and I’ll get right on it 
Glad to provide the support.
Have you decided who gets the charity money?
I’m thinking that due to the International Participation, we should choose a more worldly organization. How about Red Cross or World Vision?
Stephen, it’s unfortunate that we were not able to get you up to the 100 total faves but this was a great contest. How do you want to coordinate the donation? As an FYI, it might take me some time to respond this week as my internet access is going to be spotty.
Let’s just each donate our pledges of $62 each by the end of the month. Here is the donation page for World Vision.

I guess I made an executive decision, but they are a great charity and help Children and Families around the world. This was actually my Grandma’s favourite charity before she passed away.
Sorry that we didn’t make the goal! I wish I could have done a better job!
Hey Gary. Thanks again for your help. It’s definitely too bad we didn’t make it, but it looks like we did raise enough to buy three goats according ot World Vision
Too bad the goal wasn’t met, but sure thing, count me in for my $50 donation as well! Just lemme know where to send the funds to
The link is in my last reply. Lets just aim to have our pledges in before the end of the month. Thanks again for stepping up
Gotcha. I submitted my donation late last week, just now remembered to post it here lol.
Thanks Shawn! I think Derek and Michael have already done their thing. We did something cool for charity. Congrats everyone!
Actually, I just got my donation sent today and was planning a post for tomorrow.
Hmmm what went wrong is the contest up for more days I think Ill make a post on my blog if youi have it running for some more days..
Stephen, just thought I would mention that I just posted about a little bonus round for the charity donation.
Thanks for running the great contest.
Stephen, I tried to post a link to my bonus for this contest but it must have been caught by your spam filter. The link on my name will take you to my bonus announcement for your contest.
Thanks for running this great contest.
