Blogathon 2007 raises money for charity
By tutormentor2 @ 10:12 AM :: 2112 Views :: Article Rating
 

Today more than 500 bloggers are participating in a marathon called Blogathon 2007, to raise money for their favorite charity.  You can read the history of this event and find the list of bloggers at http://www.blogathon.org/faq/2007/07/10/history_of_the_blogathon.php

I just learned about this and am too late to participate.  But I think it's a great idea. I'd like to find a way to duplicate it, getting 100 or more youth agency supporters to blog together. And I plan to try to participate the next time they do this, and encourage some of my own friends (like YOU) to also join in.  It can be a great way to raise visibility, recruit volunteers and raise needed dollars.
