EVENT: Cardboard Box Haiti Challenge
EVENT DATE: 01/02/2010

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.


****LAST CHANCE TO DONATE****

My initial challenge of raising $1000 was reached in LESS THAN THREE DAYS thanks to the generous donations of so many people.

My challenge became then to raise $10,000 - or as much as possible - for the people affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti.

I said that if the donations on this page reach $1000, I must wear only a cardboard box ALL DAY on Monday 1 February- to work, on the train, at my desk, out at lunch - EVERYWHERE. NO OTHER CLOTHES ALLOWED (although I've been told I can wear underwear, whew).

See pics of the day here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nicolas-Cardboard-Box-Haiti-Challenge/289294608712

A $10,000 TATTOO

If we manage to raise $10,000 for Haiti, I would get the total donation amount tattooed (tastefully) somewhere on my body.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

All I need is for you to donate $10, or $20, or $40 or whatever you can afford to help the people in Haiti who need it deperately. Do it as your good deed for the day, the week, or the year. If you have seen the earthquake on the news or read about it in the paper, and if were thinking about helping at all, this is your opportunity.

DONATE NOW

Be rest assured that your donation is going to a good cause. Every cent raised will be going directly to Save the Children, who has been working in Haiti since 1985 and are on the ground right now providing shelter, clean water, food and medical assistance to children and their families.


WHAT WILL OUR DONATIONS PROVIDE?

$1000 will go a long way in Haiti right now. It could provide:
- 280 buckets to help families carry clean water
- 80 tarpaulins to provide basic shelter to protect families
- 226 mosquito kits to protect children from malaria

So, JUST IMAGINE WHAT $10,000 COULD DO!

DONATE NOW

Select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

LET"S SEE HOW FAR WE CAN PUSH THIS! If you've already donated, please send this page to your colleagues, family and friends.

Many thanks for your support!
