OT: Red Nose Day
Hi friends!
I have created a Fundraiser on Facebook to support Red Nose Day USA, which is taking place tomorrow, May 25th. Starting at midnight tonight, I will be watching films about the experiences of children around the world for 24 hours straight to highlight Red Nose Day's mission to help children living in poverty.
If you were looking to support Red Nose Day anyway, would you consider doing so on my Facebook fundraiser? Every dollar donated on Facebook will be matched dollar for dollar by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, doubling your impact. I never see any money- it is donated directly to Red Nose Day USA via Facebook.
As someone who has donated to various MGoBlog charity calls to action, I would be grateful for the support of my fellow Wolverines.
If you're not interested, no harm, no foul, no problem.
This charity means a lot to me and I am grateful for your consideration. Happy to answer any questions!
Donations welcome at
Go Blue and thanks!

PS: That's called the Red Nose Dance - dunno why
Seeing the OP's avi, I imagine it has nothing to do with Sir Red Nose.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted for this since literally none of the money ever touches your hand. Having said that, your link is broken...
Good luck tomorrow!
Ah! FIXED! Thank you so much for catching.
what cause does red nose day support?
Red Nose Day works with local partner organizations to fund projects that seek to help allevieate the conditions of poverty for children around the world. 50% of every donation goes to work for kids in the USA, 50% in global communities. You can learn more here:

Thanks so much!
Correct link: bit.ly/DonateToTeamTom
Wrong again... Both link to MGoBlog
Absolutely no reason to use a bitly on a forum like this. Anywho, here's the link for those who are having link issues.

Thanks! Bitly helps me track click throughs so I can meaure... I appreciate the help linking!
I thought this was going to be a Wednesday afternoon drinking thread.
Haha that was my first guess.
Second guess was that we all become Sam Rockwell from Mr. Right...and go around killing people.
Sorry, I'm in a dark place right now...
I was going to reply with a smart-ass comment about getting donations for watching movies, but... watch this movie. It really highlights the cause (and from what I remember made me thouroughly sad).

you can't quit poverty
