Charity Challenge Donation FAQ & Pool Totals
Here's a copy of Dylan's post from the last charity challenge, with a total giving update as they come in:
Q: How does the Charity Challenge work? A: For those who are new to the Charity Challenge, here's how it works: 1) You donate a bit of cash to the DVC/UWOL charity pool. 2) At the end of the video challenge, the winner of the competition chooses a charity of his/her choice. 3) We mail a check for the full amount to the charity, and make someone who needs some extra help, very, very happy for the holidays. Q: How much has the Charity Challenge raised in the past? A: Not including this year, we've donated $3416 to charities. Q: How much should I donate? A: The average donation is $20-$30. The highest was $100 (you know who you are!), but even $5 helps buy a needy family a meal or wildlife in need. Q: I only want my money to go to a charity I like. A: Then submit a film and win it all for your charity! Q: Do I have to donate to the charity pool to enter a film in the competition? A: No, you don't have to donate to the charity pool to enter. But it will make you feel good inside to do so, I promise. Q: Can I just have the prize pool money sent to my buddy, then spend it on beer? A: 1) We make sure all charities are real. 2) You'd never escape Lorinda's wrath. Q: OK, I think this is a great idea, how do I donate? A: Send a Paypal payment to us at softserveinc@hotmail.com Please mark it as a gift, or Paypal skims 3%. Q: What if I don't have Paypal? A: I bet you know someone who does! Q: No, really I don't. A: You can mail me a check and I'll add that amount to the charity pool. Email me through the forum. Any questions? Didn't think so. Here's the link to sign up! http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/dvc-uwol...challenge.html
