Bloggers Holiday Charity Challenge

ScottW is issuing a challenge to all bloggers this holiday season:

"Find at least one gadget, gizmo, book, toy, etc that you are no longer using, list it on eBay, and donate a percentage of the proceeds to charity."

 

It’s a great idea and I’m definitely in, but surprisingly I don’t really have gadgets laying about the house like you’d think. The wife and I are pretty good about getting rid of stuff on eBay and Craigslist every time I buy a shiny new toy, so here’s how I’m going to participate: I’m donating all of my Lounge ad network earnings for November and December to our local food bank [1].

And not only that, but after talking with James, he’s decided to sweeten the deal by donating his portion of revenue of any blogger in The Lounge who does the same thing. That’s pretty cool.

So if you’re a blogger, get in on the action. Donating to worthy causes always makes you feel better :-)

[1] I don’t make tons of cash from my blog, on average about $25/month, but every little bit helps.

    I’ve never actually written a “Top X Posts” post to end the year before, so I figured, what the heck, I’ll do one this year. As Phil points out , “I find that somewhat narcissistic, so you know I’m going to do that”.
