Unfortunately, due to an administrative error, the ChipIn for donations closed early on the afternoon of the 28th.

This not only stopped donations, but meant we couldn’t hold our online raffle idea to raise some much-needed funds (as well as offer you some fantastic goodies).

Therefore, we’re going to keep supporting Stop the Silence until Wednesday March 4. I’m waiting to here back from ChipIn about re-opening the February widget so we can start donations again. I’ll make sure that you’re kept updated with progress.

With regards the charity for March, we should be announcing that tomorrow. There’s a slight issue that the chosen charity doesn’t have aPaypal option at the minute. We’re looking to them to set one up, as we don’t take any monies at all. All donations go directly to the charity involved, to ensure trust and transparency.

Thanks again for all your support, and here’s to having a fun chance to win some goodies for the February charity over the next couple of days.

Danny.

Due to technical issues with the ChipIn widget for February, donations closed early. We have therefore updated the special raffle-type event and it will now be open for 48 hours until Wednesday March 04. Any donations made over the weekend that were applicable for the raffle will still be counted.

As the February charity comes to a close this weekend, we’ve decided to hold a special raffle. This will end at midnight tomorrow and has some great prizes on offer.

  • From Sarah Robinson – donate $25.00 or more and be entered into the draw to win over $800 worth of goodies:

So as you can see, some great ways to not only support this month’s amazing charity (dealing with child sexual abuse) but the chance to have some great stuff too! You can make your donation by using the ChipIn widget to the right or via this link.

As always, thanks for all your support guys. Have a great weekend, don’t be afraid to invite more people to 12for12k, and good luck in the raffle!!
