We Did It! Thanks to you. announced about 1 month ago

OBJECTIVE
Benjamin Connelly will release a CD in 2009 with proceeds going to Oxfam
TERMS

If we reach exactly $7,000, then we will give money to: Ben Connelly

put this campaign on your site
THE PITCH

If we reach our fundraising goal of $7,000, the proceeds from my next CD will go to Oxfam’s efforts to create long term solutions to global poverty and injustice.

I am writing to ask you to contribute to the release of this record. Your contribution will go to producing, manufacturing, and marketing the CD. 70% of the money from sales of the CD will go to Oxfam with the remainder to be used for further marketing and manufacturing needs. If another label is interested in releasing the record I will negotiate terms in such a way as to ensure substantial proceeds will go to Oxfam. If you contribute you will receive two copies of the CD (they make great gifts!), the satisfaction of supporting Oxfam, and my lasting gratitude.

    Hi Ben,
    Good luck with your wonderful initiative. Signing up gave me heartburn, I hope I did it OK and the dollar amount gets through. It kept rejecting my entries, etc. Great going with such a terrific idea!
