Your Turn

email

While myself and the partners of the 12for12k Challenge are busy trying to bring everything together, we couldn’t do any of this without you. The idea is just the beginning – the people are what makes it happen.

As you know, our aim is to raise $12,000 per charity over the 12 months that the 12for12k challenge will be running. To do this, we’ve made it as easy as possible – each person only needs to donate $10 per month for the duration of the challenge. If we can get 1200 people to be involved each month, we’ll meet the targets that I’ve set.

If you want to be a part of this ambitious yet achievable target, please leave your name, city and state in the comments section below. If you have a Twitter ID, leave that as well (@yourname) so we can connect with each other as we try to make a difference.

The dream starts here – thank you.

Wonderful idea - have already made a donation for the War Child cause.

I really hope we will succeed and make a difference!

@H_Christiansen

PS...

In addition to wondering how the money will be collected, I caught myself wondering how it will be distributed. Didn't see anything to that effect anywhere on your website.

PPS...

I've issued the 12for12K challenge to all of my followers, and asked them to retweet their own networks.

This is a twitterific idea folks! Kudos!

I'll gladly pledge $10 per month for the next 12 months and look forward to hearing how I can honour my pledge.

I am also very interested to learn how your organization will be selecting the remaining 11 charities for 2009. The Children's Aid Foundation of Simcoe County and the nearly 12,000 kids we will help this year would certainly appreciate your consideration.

Please consider the American Diabetes Association! more than 23.6 million American have diabetes - and something like 50 million more have pre-diabetes and are undiagnosed!

This is awesome. A little tricky, personally, because I'm a big fan of giving in secret. But this is fantastic, nonetheless. I'm in.@freshgreenbeans

I'm definitely in. For the last two years, I've donated a minimum of $100 month to nonprofits. This will help me get there in 2009.

I’d like to see this non-profit receive some of these donations. They have been serving our community for over 100 years with a REIP programming (helping families from Africa), holiday ’shopping’ providing Christmas for families in crisis (seeing this makes your heart sing), a daycare, a clothing corner and MUCH more. The executive director is enduring, always positive, and making the best of what she has. A great asset to those who need them most. http://www.umnc.org

I hope that one of the charities could be one supporting children in one way or another.

Great idea. Also would like something to animals as well as people.
