Today is the day to start promoting your fundraiser to compete in the official 7 Days to World Give Day Fundraising Competition to win an extra $750 for your fundraising efforts. Unfortunately, the prize won’t come in a cute little stack of money with a bow on it like this visual display. (In all seriousness, the GiveForward team will donate $750 directly to the winning fundraising page on May 5th when the winner is announced).
Starting April 28th, the fundraisers that raises the most money throughout the course of 7 full days will win an extra $750 for their fundraiser. Each day we will post the leaderboard here so you can track the standings of the Top Ten fundraisers. Even if you’re not always at the number one spot… keep promoting your heart out– there may even be a super secret prize to another lucky fundraiser if we’re really letting the spirit of Wor
ld Give Day get to our heads *wink*
This is the time to gather your friends and tell the masses! You only have 7 days to win this competition, so don’t waste any time! Promote your page by asking everyone to help be a part of World Give Day 2011 by giving to your fundraiser and in doing so, helping you win $750. The more money you raise, the better chance you have at being crowned the King (or Queen) of World Give day 2011!
Winner of the World Give Day Competition
The 7 days leading up to World Give Day were exciting ones as each day it seemed a new leader was in the #1 spot every time we checked the leaderboard. We were happy to see all the generosity and love that poured out i n honor of World Give Day to all of the deserving fundraisers on the site.
GiveForward is very pleased to announce that the winner of the World Give Day fundraising competition is:
Brian Corbett Recovery Fund
April 18th 2011, Brian Corbett from Fort Lauderdale, FL, was injured in a terrible car accident that unfortunately took the lives of two of his friends. Brian and two others were lucky to survive, but were seriously injured. At only 18 years old, Brian is fighting for his life as he suffered neck and spine injuries and now remains in critical care. The huge network of support that has come together to help the Corbett family is truly inspiring.
This fundraiser was started by Brian’s cousin, Rob who lives in New York. Starting this GiveForward page was a way for Rob to organize this community of support even though he was so far away. This solidifies the idea that distance doesn’t mean you can’t show your love and come together to help a family in need. Congratulations; we send our well wishes and LOTS of positive vibes to the entire Corbett family.
Brian’s fundraiser will be awarded an extra $750 to his page in honor of World Give Day.
