Being Interviewed by Local Paper

February 24th, 2015
I'm nervous but excited at the same time! A dear friend of mine is need of a service dog and needs to raise some serious money so I decided to "raffle" off one of my photographs. I told people that for every $5.00 they donate - they will get three chances at this picture that will come to them matted to fit a 16x20 frame. So far, I have raised him $500.00! The local paper got wind of this and is calling me for an interview on Thursday. Just wanted to let you all know that this is an option for you guys to do for something as well - I'm actually surprised at how well it has done.

Here is the picture:

How fabulous; a good selfless thing to do as well to raise the money. Hope you raise a lot more. Maybe you could put the link to the interview here once completed too:0)

That's super! And I'm sure the interview will drive more traffic / donations. Aside: how did you publicize the effort?

@lsquared I posted on Facebook and sent emails out at work as well. I told people that if they shared the post, they would get one ticket (whether they donated or not) as well ...
