SEPTEMBER D-1

Only 1 day before it's September already!
I cannot thank people enough for helping reach our goal before September even came by. It's truly amazing. As most of you know, I raised my goal to $1250 to see if we can meet this before our event on September 9th. We are only $90 away from our new goal and we still have 10 days. WE CAN DO THIS!


Exciting news: Our campaign site and blog was featured in this week's September Campaign emails that charity: water sent out! I was so shocked to see my name. Other campaigners have raised so much money - check out their sites! In fact, charity: water has already surpassed $100,000! The email said:

MILESTONE -- $100,000 RAISED.

Today, we topped $100,000 raised -- and it's not even September yet!

All of you helped us get here, but we want to give a shout out to those who have raised $1,000 in just the first two weeks of the campaign.

Here are a few of our favorite campaigns so far:

* Drew Neisser's Blog 4 Bayaka
* Joanna Shin's September Campaign (also see her blog)
* Deron Triff's 42nd Birthday
* David Chan's Chanimal Crackers
* Therese Nguyen's 30th Birthday
* Lori Jacobwith's 50th Birthday
* Phil & Julie's Give Back Campaign
* Brian Monahan's 23rd Birthday
* Keke Palmer's 17th Birthday
