Parade Magazine's "America's Giving Challenge" Could Win $50,000 For The Bubel Aiken Foundation With Your Help

Remember the Six Degrees/Kevin Bacon fundraiser that took place about a year ago where The Bubel Aiken Foundation received $10,000 in matching funds from Kevin Bacon? Well, Parade Magazine has one that is very similar to this, only BAF could walk away with $50,000! But we need each and every person who can to help by making a $10 donation to BAF. The eight groups with the most donations (not the highest dollar amount) will each win $50,000! Here's how you do it:

First, you can read about "America's Giving Challenge" at www.parade.com/givingchallenge. Here is what the magazine says about the challenge:

Parade & The Case Foundation are awarding $500,000 to the charitable causes YOU CARE ABOUT THE MOST. Eight champions who inspire the most people to give will get $50,000 for their charity. The 100 charities that receive the most donations will each get $1,000.

$50,000 is enough for five summer Let's All Play camps. How great would it be for us to win this for BAF and the children!

But don't make your donation straight from the Parade site!! First you need the "Official BAF Badge" to make your donation through. And Claydreamer07 of the Clayboard has done the hard part by sending in all the information needed to Parade to set up our badge through which we can make our donations. You can access the badge by clicking on: My America's Giving Challenge Badge. Once at the badge, click "Donate" and follow the instructions to make your donation of $10 (or more). Only one donation per person will be counted toward the total number of donations received. If you donate through Paypal, give $11 to cover the Paypal costs so you can still give the minimum $10 donation.

As of the writing of this article, the leading charity has 703 donations. We are getting a late start, but BAF has a total of 34 donors. We have our work cut out for us. The fundraiser ends on January 31. Please spread the word to all of the Clay groups you are a part of, as well as to your friends and family. Let's win this for The Bubel Aiken Foundation. Are we up to the challenge?? You bet we are!!
