Making people and ideas findable

My New Bowling Ball

JA Bowl for BizKids
Two teams from MediaSauce will descend upon the lanes of Woodland Bowl next month in order to engage in pizza-eatin' smack-talkin' bowlin' support of Junior Achievements' experiential learning programs.

To make it interesting some of the participants have raised the stakes.... both myself and Don Schindler (and hopefully soon, other members of our teams) have agreed to do the "highest donor's bidding"!!

Whomever donates the most money, we will do whatever you want (within reason).


Here is what you need to do:

1. Go out to this site and donate: http://www.firstgiving.com/mediasauce

2. Mark in the comments that the donation is for "Leigh" or "Don"

3. The one person that makes the largest online donation gets to choose their "prize"

To give you some ideas of what your prize could be...

Don can: work on cars and motorcycles, lay tile or roofs, work on plumbing, bartend, build websites, marketing consult for charity, speak at events, make graphics, write stories, etc…

Leigh can: dog/house/babysit, shoot and/or retouch imagery or create custom artwork, design logos/brochures, teach graphics software (photoshop, illustrator or indesign), write copy, concept, brainstorm, strategize and consult, etc...

P.S. We and our families are allowed to bid on ourselves. We are writing the rules, so deal with it. :)
