Last year, my company, Empowering Youth, sponsored a fundraiser named Linking for Dollars, and we raised $500 for St. Jude. The celebration post and donation receipt is here.
We’d like to do it again.
If you’re not familiar, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is based in Memphis, Tennessee and is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
You can easily help us to raise the funds for this worthy charity. Just send your readers here to leave a comment! I’ll accept your comments from December 20 until Christmas Day, up to a maximum donation of $500 — one dollar per comment.
Our hope is that during the season of giving, you’ll inspire others to give as well – either from their own wallets, or by sending us your readers so we reach our $500 goal. How many dollars will you inspire? Please spread the word!
UPDATE: With your help, Empowering Youth donated $100 to St. Jude. Thank you!
If you’d like to help in another way, this reader is raising funds to help find a cure for his 4-year-old with Type 1 Diabetes.

The html code is not working — so I’m copying the button directly. Also, is it this post the comments are supposed to come to???

Hi Kelly,
I finally got my post up about this…so sorry I’m so slow! I couldn’t get the linking code to work but I did get a banner and links back here that should work.
