Blogathon doors officially open and a BlogsWeLuv contest!

By Mike on July 5th, 2007

Greetings fellow blog luvers! Tish and I are happy to announce that Blogathon.org officially began sign-ups today for Blogathon 2007, which means we are now registered and good to go! This also means that we can now begin receiving pledges on behalf of The Glaucoma Foundation, our charity.

If you’re a new visitor to BlogsWeLuv the Blogathon is an annual event where bloggers come together to blog for their favorite charities. The event is held this month, July 28th beginning at 6am Pacific Standard Time and lasts for 24 hours. That means Tish and I will be parked in front of our computers the entire time making one new post on this blog every half hour until the Blogathon ends!

If you appreciate what Tish and I are doing here, enjoy the site and would like to make a pledge to our charity, you may do so by clicking on the button up there on the left or on the right in the sidebar. For each $5 donated you will receive one entry to win a $25 Amazon Gift Card. So if you make a ten dollar pledge, that’s two entries!

The Glaucoma Foundation was established in 1984. It is the premier not-for-profit organization committed to leading the fight against glaucoma and identifying new treatments and cures. There are currently 3 million Americans and 67 million people worldwide suffering from glaucoma. Tish is one of them.

Aww.. My Grandpa has glaucoma :(
BTW, the site doesn’t accept PayPal, and I don’t have a credit card (I’m a pooor student!). Is it possible for me to PayPal you some money, and then you help me donate to Glaucoma Foundation? It’s it OK with you, I’ll go ahead and pledge a donation! :)

distantcords - Thanks!

Pelf - I just sent you an email. We appreciate your support! You are welcome to paypal the money to me or Mike, and we will take care of getting it to the Glaucoma Foundation! If you make a pledge through the Blogathan website, please forward me any email you receive requesting the money after Blogathon is complete. Thanks again for your support! :)

Thanks for stopping by, Pelf! :)

Tish, perhaps you can ask the Glaucoma Foundation folks if they will offer a PayPal method at the end of the Blogathon, the next time you e-mail them?

That would be even better than having to ask anyone to send us their donations :)

Mike ~ I emailed the request to The Glaucoma Foundation. I will let you know what response I get. Hopefully they will be able to accept PayPal for future transactions! :)
