Hi People,

I'll try to cut this short cuz i know people hate to read long stuff...

I work for a company that specializes in after school programs. Right now, my company is having a fundraiser called Miles for Change. This involves collecting pennies. However, any type of donation is accepted because we can convert it for our project later. There are many goals here. First of all, we are trying to fund programs that cater to english learning children of low income families. Second of all, we are trying to get matched funds from the state (which means, whatever we make, they will match). Third, we are trying to raise awareness for people in communities to come together (to help their own children). And fourth, my company is trying to break the record for most miles collected through pennies.

on march 25th (which is also my brother's birthday...ironically), NASCAR's Auto Club Speedway will let us borrow their race track to lay down 8,448,800 pennies. it will take 50 loops around the track to complete 100 miles. the current record is 40 miles. we will definitely beat that if people come together and make a difference. please help me out by donating!! get anyone you know to donate. even a penny will add up. don't think ur shameful just because u can only donate a penny. like i said, it adds up!

all the schools under my company are competing to see who can raise the most money. whichever school raises the most money will earn their students a free night at the Dodgers game!! i'm in charge of jersey elementary, and my students MUST GO!! they don't have much so this will be a sweet blessing to visit a stadium in real life.

here's the website as to where you can donate. Just click on the "sponsor me now" button once u visit the 'Jersey Elementary' link below. Share the page with anyone you know too, please.

Our world is made of crazy ppl. dear Tookatha lol. :D
Some...are crazy about new fashion, big brand: Gucci, Louis Vuiton bags, nice shoes etc...
Some...are crazy about new tech. stuff & gadgets...

... and there is a crazy guy like me who works sometimes on week-end as freelance to get extra-money & re-invest in helping the others (kiva.org, NGO donation, non profit org.), it's simply 1 or 2h of my working/spare time that i hope to help your children in their education, learning & activities.

so, i count on u to teach them well, becos they are our future... ^_^

G'luck Jersey Elementary team ! B)

...i was looking at those pictures of those kids on your flicker site links and i'm glad there are people like yourself who will not let these kids fall through the cracks and become societies misfits... i see not many more donations come in atm and i wonder how many drive bys' to your web site occur daily... i have read in the past from some where that real change is propagated by action on the part of a minority 3% of the population... i have always tried to wonder if somdays i could be a part of the 3% and make myself useful... i guess i'm still working on that,,, maybe someday when i'm truly alone i can smile at my reflection and know i've done my part to make a difference in someone elses life... i salute those like yourself that are of that 3% that strive with professionalism and dedication to do something bigger then yourselves... thank you...
to others i urge you to think about those 3% that will make things better and do your part what ever it is just act to help out... volunteer and feel your heart extend out to those less fortunate... thank you if you take time to understand what i'm trying to say here...
