Strength in Numbers
Posted On: 03/05/2008 22:39:42
I know not many people like it when people are asking for money for any cause, even girl scout cookies but the truth is that many organizations fail to operate without these donations.

The relationship we have put ourselves into with Country Goes Huntin' is just that, a relationship to show them that our members can pull the support needed to help them further their mission, and make a change in someones life.

We are not looking for donations in the $100's from everyone on the site but, we are still looking for donations to pass on to them. CamoSpace.com will not withhold one penny from the money contributed back from the organization.

Let's look at the numbers, and then maybe we can see that everyone on here can contribute, in their own way, to this cause without missing any of the money donated.

First, some numbers.

77% of our members are over the age of 18

As of the time of this post, that equals 2783 people

I did some research with Google and WikiPedia, as well as many other locations and pulled some more numbers. I found that Seventy-four (74%) percent of Americans when shown a charitable cause that they can see helping a lifestyle or recreation that they enjoy, donate more that $10 to the cause ( the number was actually averaged to $17.84 ). When they receive something in return for their donation, the average number raised up to Eighty-Two (82%) percent and the average donation was about $25.

Minimum amount we would ever expect to have donated: $5
Amount we actually give you something in return is $10

If we were able to get 74% of those 2783 members ( 2059 ) to donate at least $10 to Country Goes Huntin', we would be able to present them with a check in the amount of $20,590 in approximately one month. This is not including what we are going to contribute on top of what we get from our member base.

Can you imagine being part of a community that could collectively give a check in the amount of $25,000 to a charity that is dedicated to our lifestyle and recreation ? Being able to see your $10 actually make a difference in 100's of lives is something to see and, it is something we would like to see happen.

I am not going to become that crazed telephone solicitor that drives this like crazy everyday but, I will most likely be dropping in an update, etc., to the community at least once a week until we head out to Dothan, Alabama in April to go down to this event.

I look forward to seeing the community come together and, as they say on them late night commercials, for less than $0.34 a day, you CAN make a difference in someones life.
