Sponsor Shout Out!

Posted on | December 11, 2009 | Comments Off

It’s been a wild coupla weeks for the Passports with Purpose gang. We watched during week one as we quickly approached and then surpassed our original goal of $13,000.

THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Imagine that! Those dollars are going to build a school in Cambodia!

Part of the wildness of the past 2 weeks had to do with what we should do once we blew past our goal. After a meeting of the minds, we made some decisions on how to continue helping those little tykes – see Pam’s post for details. Oh, and we moved the goal post, too.

As we attempt to attract another 13 grand, we are humbled by the number of individuals who’ve been chipping in $10, $20 and even hundreds of dollars over the last 11 days. And, we’ve also had another Silver Sponsor jump on board. Thank you BootsnAll! You folks are the bomb!

Quick love note about BootsnAll – visit these folks for all your independent travel needs. It’s a community. It’s a blogosphere. It’s a booking engine. It’s a planning site. Don’t leave home without ‘em.

And in case you hadn’t heard, we’ve had other folks who stepped up to the plate to help us kick off this little venture – Got Passport: Will Travel, We’ll Serve, HomeAway, Raveable, Travelfish, TravellersPoint Travel Community and Uptake. Thanks for believing in our cause!

A biG bIG BIG thanks goes to Virtuoso, our Platinum sponsor. Big heart doesn’t begin to describe what you folks have.

Monday we’ll be posting a list of items for which you’ll have the best chances of winning. A few new items got posted late so if you haven’t checked out the list recently… do so now, please.

Good weekend to all. Don’t forget that when you’re out holiday shopping, nothing beats a $10 donation for an item worth $75 – $2,746 – cause that’s what we’ve got for you here at PwP!
