Feeling Charitable

December 2, 2009 on 7:03 pm | In Charitable Giving, Charity, Cause Marketing, Marketing |

I need your help. I want to get more people signed up for the My Creative Team monthly enewsletter. So, I’ve decided to donate a dollar to charity for every person who signs up between now and Christmas Eve. Even if you decide to opt-out after Christmas, I’ll donate up to $1,500 to the Crisis Assistance Ministry. Why Crisis Assistance Ministry? Because, as they say on their website,

When there is nowhere else to turn, we provide emergency financial assistance, clothing and household goods to families in need.

The need this year among the so-called “working poor” is profound. Because they are actually working and making some money, they get very little, if any, government assistance. The help of Crisis Assistance often means the difference between eating and not eating.

Will you help me reach my goal of 1,500 new subscribers so that together we can help the truly needy? Sign up here.

Please spread the word to your friends, particularly those in marketing and HR at Fortune 1000 size companies, since that’s our target market. Additionally, feel free to share this across your social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Thanks for your help. Are you doing anything charitable this year? Tell us your story.

This is a great idea! I signed up - always up for supporting a good cause!

My partners and I agreed upon setting up our corp that we would include a yearly contribution to one of our favorite charities. This year, The Breast Cancer Charities of America is our choice.

Harry - Thank you for donating to such a great cause. I currently work with a small team of 4 individuals who have been doing interactive work for crisis on a pro bono basis for the last 6 months and it is always great to see fellow industry professional reach out to the community. Your generosity will make an immediate difference for those that need it most.

Marc, thanks for the kind words. I’m all for helping those who are trying to help themselves - in this case - the working poor. Here’s a link to Crisis Assistance Ministry in case anyone else wants to help out: http://www.crisisassistance.org/
