Thanks to all of you and to friends around the world, today my birthday wish came true!
Goal: raise $720 for Acumen Fund online in 5 days
Result as of 2:49pm 11:59pm, Aug 28, 2009: $810.72 $968.72 raised ($380 $538 on Facebook Causes; $430.72 directly to Acumen Fund)
Unexpected result: learning by doing; seeing what does and doesn’t work with direct fundraising appeals; being touched and moved by old friends, readers, and family who chose to participate in ways large and small.
I’m off to celebrate. Have a great weekend, and thank you for all you did.
