Dreaded Charity - Time for a change

Olympics2010_022410_0005It's been about 8 years in the growing, and it's time to give them up for charity. I'm talking about my dreads people!

I feel it's a good time to try and get everyone I can reach out to to put just a little bit of money away for the charity of their choosing.

Just eat at home one more day this week, or skip the coffee for a week, whatever it takes. Just think that your 5/10/20/50 dollars or more could help save a life(s), or help someone in a far more dire situation than yourself. It's time to stop being selfish.

I'm personally going to donate 10% of the total you guys all donate up to $1000! I haven't decided on my charity yet, but depending on the amount, I may pick multiple.

So, I'm leaving it up to all of you to step up to the plate. In return, you'll be helping others out, and you'll get to watch me cut of my dreads (via video or live)!

The goal is $5000 by May, and I think it can happen. Lets see what we can do people!

I'm going to shortly post a list of my top charity choices. You can donate to one of them, or pick one of your own.
All I ask is you then either forward me the receipt (with any personal information removed) or just the amount you donated and to whom.

I'm going to trust everyone out there not to be disrespectful and send me bogus numbers.

Please don't post donated amounts here.

EMAIL dreads AT tracstarr dot COM with your donation numbers.
