Joseph Brownell hasn't added a story.
On September 18, 2014, I will have been on this earth for 34 years. It's been a wild ride but nothing has been more wild than the self-discovery I emabrked upon when I moved to Nashville in 2013.
This year I ask that you help me celebrate my birthday by helping me raise money for two causes that are very close to me: OutCentral, Nashville's LGBT Community Center, and the 2014 Nashville AIDS Walk and 5K Run.
I debated whether supplying links to two different donation sites via social media or combining them into an all-inclusive crowd sourcing campaign would be the most efficient.
On one hand, the donation configuration for OutCentral doesn't allow donors to make donations less than $10, which for some can be a large ask. On the other, using crowd sourcing carries a slightly bigger service charge. And then of course, there's the decision of which organiazation to give money to to start with . . . which I can assure you I am struggling with as well.
I chose FundRazr so that I could track the progress over the next 10 days and we can watch together as the money is raised.
I'm kicking off this campaign in advance of September 15, National LGBT Community Center Awareness Day, and will continue to run it through the end of my birthday weekend, September 22.
My goal is to raise a $1000 and then split the funds between the two organizations . . . will you help me?
If you are looking for your donation to be tax deductible (and $10 minimum is not too large of an ask), feel free to make direct donations to either:
OutCentral: www.outcentral.org/give
or
Nashville AIDS Walk: My Team Page
Both are appreciated!
