I thought about the suggestions I received, including children’s charities and medical organizations as well as the local rabbit shelter (as suggested by a certain someone). Then I had a bit of a brainstorm: What if I tied into the campaign that my workplace was already involved in?
Entercom has a donation-matching deal with Earth Share, so I figured I’d at least look into going that route so I could (possibly) increase the chances of getting some of my coworkers in on the action. The problem is, Earth Share of Oregon doesn’t have a web-based donation transaction system. You have to print out a form, fill it out, and fax it to them. Er, no, sorry, that won’t work well enough for my purposes.
While perusing the list of Earth Share’s affiliated organizations, however, I came across The Nature Conservancy’s Oregon chapter. Hey! Here’s something I can get behind. Preserving habitats for future generations, thus improving the quality of life for people and wildlife alike, is highly appealing to me.
So, for those of you who wish to pony up sponsorship funds, I can now post my Blogathon campaign link. (Oooh, there’s a button off to the right, look!) There are only a couple of weeks remaining before the event, so don’t wait! And if you don’t want to contribute, that’s okay, but I do hope you’ll cheer me on during the event itself.
Of course, now I have to start amassing material and ideas enough to get me through 48 journal entries in a single day…

Treehuggers… ewwww *shudder* If I could pick what time of day I could start this, I might consider doing it. But 6am? No way in hell, maybe if I had someone prodding me in the same room the entire time I’d reconsider.
But yeah… good luck on the entry ideas, there’re two cats who’d love to have their pic taken, and certain game character bios you could write for them, that’s at least 8 entries right there (one per chara slot on the server) depending on what you write about, then there’s the badgering aspect of things. And pictures of said characters, that’s at least another 8 entries. Almost half the entries could feasibly be gaming bits easily.
Meh, I’m just blowing off air, what do I know anyway?
Hah! I am the first one to pledge. I have been waiting for this. One dollar for every journal entry 🙂 I figure this should also be highly entertaining, and cheeper than going to a movie. Besides, with the little one, I don’t think I could handle any more participation on my part.
(I am so tired, I posted this in my comments, thinking I was at your blog. Too many tabs open or something. *sigh*)
You can imagine how my Earth-biscuit boy reacted to your choice. I asked if he wanted to throw a few bucks that direction, and he instantly replied, “A buck an hour!” Damn treehuggers. *smirk*
