As many of you will recall, our last Give Til it Hurts fundraiser was in benefit of Kiva’s microloan program. At the time, we raised $1450 for step-up loans to folks in impoverished countries and had a lot of fun in the process.

The contest ended around mid-September last year, and I was proud of the money we raised in such a short amount of time. Nobody was beholden to doing more, and none of you would’ve known if they hadn’t.
But they did.
The current tally for donations to the Friends of Dana Kane Kiva group is $2125. That means that the people who originally participated in the fundraiser have CONTINUED to re-loan their original donations, again and again, to the tune of an additional 675 dollars!
For those of you who’re mentioned above – thank you so much for keeping up the good work, you all rock. Really hard.
– Dana
PS. We’ll be doing it again soon…keep your wallets handy, ’cause I’m going to spring the furbabies on you again.
I was so impressed that you coordinated an effort like that – thanks! Dispensing help and goodwill with one hand, and well…we all know what gets dispensed with the other hand :)
Thanks a bunch, BT!
