For the past few months www.igive.com has hosted a contest. Charities who can get new members to sign up with igive and visit one store (no purchase necessary) get a dollar. The catch is it's a race and thus the funds go fast. This time they've given us advanced notice. I've copied the info below - help us get the word out - and remind your contacts not to sign up until the given day otherwise it doesn't count. Also ask them to do it as soon as possible after noon central time as once the funds have been awarded, that's it.
Thanks for the support!
Hi Supporter,
Over the last several months, we've tried something new (a series of time-sensitive challenges) to help Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network and all the causes listed at iGive. It's worked better than we ever expected. To date, we've donated over $10,000 as a result of these challenges. So we've cooked up another challenge. This time we're making a change suggested by many of your peers. We're giving you ADVANCE NOTICE of the upcoming challenge to allow time to prepare your notifications to your supporters,if you decide to participate.
*************************************************************************SPECIAL CHALLENGE NOTIFICATION

********************************************
5,000 new members, $5,000. No purchase necessary. That's 5,000 new members for all causes, not just yours, so it's a bit of race.Of course, if these new members search more (or buy something at an iGive store) they'll earn even more money for Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network. Right now, we're donating a special bonus of $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage, on top of this $1 special challenge.Here's where you come in. The only way Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more) is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, chirp it, do a Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free! You can even just forward this e-mail.
This is the link: http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?c=33944 We've made tons of improvements recently, so we want lots of people to try it out and put it to the test. If they keep on searching or shopping after testing us out, so much the better for Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network .
The details:
- Offer active between noon, February 24, 2010 and 11:59 a.m., Februrary 25, 2010 (Chicago time).
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously). All the normal rules of membership, searching, and purchasing apply, our site has the details. Real people only, who sign themselves up. It's not fair to hire a room full of elves who sign people up, the new member has to sign him or herself up.
- Once we've given away $5,000 to all causes combined, the offer ends.
- The special link is important. No link, no $1.
- Visiting a store via iGive is crucial. No visiting a store via iGive, no $1.
That's it. Don't forget to try our search yourself (http://isearch.igive.com) as well as checking out the over 700 stores. You may need to login or register first (personally, as an iGive member). We sent you this e-mail because you're in our records as the cause contact, not as a member personally.
Thanks for the support!
