The results page shows $49,681.83 was raised but there are a few hundred more to be allocated. The fundraising goal of $50,000 for Spirit of America was reached!

My personal thanks to all y'all who donated and to everybody who helped to spread the word. You rawk!

The competition aspect of the fundraiser was fun and the banter and backstabbing kept it fresh and interesting. I think we'll be better prepared if this happens again - some great ideas popped up mid-stream that would have been great to start with. For the next fundraiser we'll need to get the central offer page (our vBay) up right away to coordinate better. Items like my blogad giveaway would have worked better if they'd been available from the start (sorry, didn't think of it until yesterday). More time for some of the auctions from the heavies would have been nice - we'll need to become pests much earlier in the next cycle.

But even as fundraising amateurs, we drummed up Fifty Thousand Dollars to help our guys over there. Is that freaking awesome or what?

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

The card graphic was made by Michele. She also has a nice collection of links to closing posts from some of the other fundraisers.
