Everyday Randomness

A New Way To Fundraise

I saw this site today that I decided is pretty neat. It’s called shoutback, and it’s a place where you can join together with others who support your same causes. If you’re part of a church group, school organization like booster club, PTA, Beta Club, Key Club, etc who needs to raise money for a function, Shoutback.com is also a great place to do that. It’s really easy to get started. You can sign up for a free account, then you either search for a group you would like to join, or you can create your own. Once you’ve got your group you can raise money by shopping, saving money, or even selling stuff on the website. They’ve got an auction section setup ready for you to sell your stuff.

As soon as I saw the site I thought about how our motorcycle group thought about raising money this year to help families of those who have lost their lives to motorcycle accidents. We’ve all lost friends, and we know how hard it can be for a family to lose a loved one, and it would be great if we could raise money to help. I think I’ll mention this to the group to see if they’re interested.

In the meantime, here’s a short little public service announcement I put together about Shoutback.com. It gave me a chance to try out the video function on my new camera!
