Update #4: One Week Left!!
Posted on October 30, 2009
Dear friends and fans of 50in50,
The big news of the day is that there is only ONE WEEK LEFT in my Kickstarter campaign! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brentrose/50-characters-in-50-weeks That's the bad news. The GOOD news is that in the last couple days I jumped from 18% to 34% of my goal! That is a HUGE jump, and it's really exciting. What does it mean?
It means that it's possible. It's still a long-shot, but everyone loves to root for a long-shot, right? They key is for more people to get involved -- that is the essential ingredient. This is a grass-roots campaign, and it's truly not going to happen without you. Yes, YOU. Don't look around at the other people, thinking I mean them. I don't. I mean YOU. Will you take just a few minutes today, write a short letter explaining what 50in50 is, and why you believe it's important to support it, then go through your address book and click everyone's name who you think might be willing to help (either by pledging OR by sending it on to more people), and PRESS SEND.
The whole endeavor won't take you more than five minutes, and it might just be the one thing that can keep 50in50 alive. That donation of five minutes of your time, could make all the difference.
Will you help?
Thank you so much for your support.
Best,
Brent Rose
