Help Keep Cannonball Read on the Road

December 1, 2015 by MsWas 17 Comments

Don’t make me have to resort to…
It’s Giving Tuesday, a day where we can recover from all the crazy spending and shopping after Thanksgiving, and take a moment to give back. So I’m passing the virtual hat and asking you to consider contributing a few dollars to help with the costs of running the blog. We’ve got big plans for Cannonball Read 8, but as we grow, we’ll need more funds for website hosting.

We always pay our website hosting bills first out of any revenue from our fundraising efforts, and that has been around $90. But since we’re growing, we’ll need to bump up to the next level of hosting, and that will bring our hosting costs to $140.00 per year. That does increase our bandwidth, so any hotlinking jerks shouldn’t affect us. We also need more disk space for all of your glorious gifs. If you can kick in a few dollars to our PayPal account to keep this site running, it’ll ensure that 2016 and CBR8 are bigger than ever. Thank you!

    When is the deadline for donating? I absolutely want to give some money to keep the blog running, but due to all the medical expenses I have this month, I won’t be able to spare any money until I get paid on the 11th. I hope I can still Paypal some then.

    Paypal is asking for a phone number or email address.

    This is for goods and services, right? It’s saying you have to pay a small fee for that. Hope that’s okay.

    Is there a way to get a permanent PayPal donate button here on the blog so I can donate periodically?

      It should actually be a gift, not goods and services. And we can’t call it “donate” unless we’re a legal non-profit, which we are not. Yet!

      If you go to the Fight Cancer page there is a link to Paypal year round though.

    Done and I did friends/family so I could pay the fee! I’ve been less active since the “semester of hell” started but I really appreciate this site and all my fellow cannonballers!
