New goal, anonymous donor…SO COOL!

We have a little over three days left in our fundraiser, and still the excitement comes! We were contacted by an anonymous donor who said if we reach $715,000, they will donate a full $285,000 dollars to bump us to $1,000,00.

We do have a habit of extending the fundraiser every year, usually due to last-minute lottery prize donations, and this year we were on top of our game. We got this. No need to extend the deadline. And then an anonymous donor contacted us with this cool offer. We extended the fundraiser through next Tuesday, December 12, which gives a week. If we can reach this goal, Heifer International will have a cool million dollars to help fund their programs!

So with the finish line on the horizon, now’s the time to rev the engines, get the word out, and reach that $715,000. If you’re tapped out, no problem. Hop on the intertubes, tweet, Facebook (that’s a verb now), email your friends, post the donation link on your Twitch stream, mention us on your podcast, whatever you can do. As soon as Pat broke the news on his Twitch stream, a lot of you started getting the word out via social media, and that’s exactly what we’re talking about. The more people who know about this, the better!

If you were still planning to donate, you have through next Tuesday. Of course you’re entered into the lottery, and every bit closer to our goal does wonders for the support we can send Heifer once this party winds down. We still have a StarCraft Tournament running, so you can donate to your favorite team or any of the many other teams featured on our page. We don’t play favorites. All the money goes to the same place for the same amazing reason.

We’ll have a StarCraft and Lottery Library update tomorrow, as well as some premature news of Peter V. Brett’s untimely demise–we just had to tell you about this now. It’s quite a development for our final stretch, but it’s the best news we can think of to share and it makes us happy!
