I studied this intently before kicking off out Mom It Forward fundraiser this week. I had all the plans in place and recognized, after reading your post, that I hadn’t planned on a few things. Thank you for your articulate assessment of these successful events. I feel fortunate to be working with 12 for 12K and Danny Brown on this venture.

Thanks again for the great tips and threads of success as well as for coming on and sharing your insight on #gno Tuesday night. You truly are one of the girls, Brian… and we love you for it! 🙂

Oops, PS – We received an update total from Stop The Silence after corporate sponsors sent donations, just short of $6,000 in total. We will be revisiting older charities through the year to try help towards our overall goal of $12,000 per charity. 🙂

This is a nice little collection of causes and results, Brian, and it’s good to be able to see what’s worked for other events as well. As Stacey said above me, thanks for your support with 12for12k – you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. 🙂
