Making a Difference

Every once in a while, I’m reminded that there are things out there that are bigger than me and my dirty little stories. I take a step back and I realize that, in the grand scheme of things, my day-to-day worries (not enough time for writing, short on cash, stressed about work) are trivial compared to some of the bigger issues around me. Well, babydolls, on September 29th, Lucky and I will be doing our part to help out a cause that is dear to my heart by participating in the Seattle AIDS walk.
The Seattle AIDS Walk is an event to support the vital services of the Lifelong AIDS Alliance. The staff and volunteers at Lifelong work every day to care and fight for those living with HIV/AIDS in Seattle/King County. Lifelong provides a variety of care services, including case management, food, housing, and insurance to people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, they fight the spread of HIV through education and advocate at the state and national levels.
So what does this mean to you? Lucky and I have set a goal of raising $5000 for this cause, and we need your help. Give as little or as much as you like. Every donation helps us reach our goal. And to sweeten the pot…
I know you give purely for the warm feeling of doing something good, but I thought I’d make it worth your while with a few enticements. Take a look:
>> Readers that donate $10 or more will get a special Thank You card with a personal message from me expressing my gratitude for your contribution.
>> Readers that donate $50 or more will receive, along with their thank you card, a $15 babeland gift certificate.
>> Readers that donate $100 or more will get a 15 minute Niteflirt call with me.
>> And for the kicker, any reader that donates $1000 or more gets a date with yours truly! Yup, that’s right. To show my gratitude for your generosity, I will take you out to dinner (with a chaperone, of course).
And if we reach our $5000 goal, Lucky and I have a VERY special gift for EVERYONE that donated, no matter how much: A video! Yes, you read correctly. You’ve read about it on the pages of this blog, you’ve heard it on my podcasts, and now you can see our passion in all its delicious glory. How’s that for motivation? So get out your wallet and donate, and then send all of your friends here to add to the pot.
