Yeeehaaaww! We crossed the $275K mark, which means we've reached our fundraising goal for the year. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The money now in our Fund-o-meter represents all the money raised from direct donations, Firstgiving sponsorships, and merchandise sales through our online store.
As announced in the email that went out on Wednesday, the donation that pushed us over the $275K mark will land the donor a special prize straight out of the National Public Radio playbook---my voice on his or her outgoing voicemail or personal communication device of choice. (If the winner would prefer, the prize can also be me not putting my voice on their voice mail). We'll contact the winner on Monday, and reveal their identity after we've talked to them.
Thanks so much to everyone who made a donation or bought something in our store! Every tax-deductible dollar we receive will bring more improvements to the NaNoWriMo and Young Writers Program sites for 2008.
A new WrimoRadio will be going up on December 11th.
Sweet day, sweet day.
Woo hoo!
Chris
