Thank You Bloggers For Your Commitment to Charity!

First off, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Gary and Erin again for their generous pledge to match me dollar for dollar during my Latest Contest for Charity.  This put up to $300 US in the winner’s hand to giveaway to his or her favourite charity. Thanks again for your commitment to “Making a Difference Online”.  I’d also like to thank all the bloggers for spreading the word and blogging about the contest including the following bloggers that helped pimp out the contest one last time:

• Foximus -  Win Some Booty. Give to Charity.
• MurphyzVille -  Game Giveaway
• Clay Blacker - Make a Comment, Help Some Kids!
• Get Your Blog Goodies - NBA Live 2007 Game and a donation to a charity of your choice
• Ryan Shamus - Contest Saturday 1

Thank you again for giving this contest a push.  Your efforts were truly appreciated and doesn’t it feel good? :) 

So, How Did We Do? 

As a result of everyone’s efforts, we’ve been able to come up with 56 entries which equals $56 US plus matching pledges from Gary and Erin for a total of $168 US. Although I was after 100 entries so we could make our maximum pledge of $300 US, I think that what is most important is that there are folks like you that still care enough to make a difference. Now everyone, share in that warm and fuzzy feeling. You deserve it! However, it is a shame that people care more about winning useless products (John calls it that too!) than they do about helping out their favourite charity with up to a $300 US donation.  Not to mention a copy of NBA Live 2007 for the PC as well!  243 comments on that one and it only got a 4/10 in the review! Quite puzzling indeed! OK, I guess The Root of All Evil did offer to sign it

Wait Stephen! Extend This Contest! Let’s Get to $100!

Thanks for your enthusiasm.  I would love to extend this contest, but I don’t think it will help to drag it along much longer.  However, I’m probably going to be lazy and draw the winner sometime later tonight so if I get enough pleading and begging to extend it, then I might change my mind and give it a bit more time.

Thanks again everyone for Making a Difference Online! =)
