Fundraising contests can be fun and exciting. They can also result in a significant amount of good able to be accomplished. As the America’s Giving Challenge rolls into the final week, it is turning out to be one of the exciting contests.
I told you in my last blog post about the contest that the Sharing Foundation was in 1st place. This morning we had fallen into 2nd place. It is a very close race.
I want to do everything I can to help the Sharing Foundation win the $50,000 prize. I hope you want to help them as well. That prize would allow the Sharing Foundation to change many, many lives!
Mon Channy, standing in the center of the picture above, is one of the children benefiting from the actions of the Sharing Foundation and it’s supporting donors. Mon Channy is a 10-year old boy who attends the Sharing Foundation’s Khmer Literacy School in Cambodia. He is the only child
of his widowed mom. He is proud to be attending school, an opportunity his Mother never had. Attending school is an opportunity Mon Channy wouldn’t have had without the generosity of others.
There has already been $16,695 raised through the unselfish giving of over 600 people. If you have not yet donated $10 to this important cause, please click here and change a child’s life. Together we can make a difference.

I own and started a coffee company called Mission Grounds – we donate all our profits to help homeless children and orphans in the US. Though it takes 50 hours a week its not my fulltime job and so there is no overhead so most of the sales go to kids. In 3 years the company has exploded. I now am in Krogers and Whole Foods. This summer we are doing a back to school program for homeless kids. Our goal is to help all the homeless children in Atlanta. At all the stores and at my web site for $8.95 you will be able to buy a homeless children a box of their school supplies. We will then distribute the boxes to all known 4500 homelss children, and I want to thank Kroger for sponsoring my Back to School for homeless children campaign.
Hi Boake,
Thank you for letting me know about your company. I love your concept and the mission work that you are doing.
