If you are involved in any way with fundraising or Non-profit programs or just plain wanting to help people in dire need…listen up!

If you are a business owner or make an income from the internet, this message is of benefit to you too.

If you’ve visited my blog lately, you’ve probably noticed that I’m on a mission to get the word out about “cause marketing”as well as non-traditional multi media internet marketing and social networking for non-profits.

Many of my very dear friends are involved in non-profits, either as fundraisers, grant writers, board members, managers or presidents and I hear from them regularly about how hard it is these days to raise enough money just to stay in business.

It breaks my heart to hear stories of those who are in great need falling through the cracks in the system because there’s just not enough money to go around.

But some people, like my friend and co-competitor in the Next Internet Millionaire competition, Jason Marshall, got creative! Check it out now if you don’t have time to read this e-mail in full:

If you followed the show, Jason was the Christian fellow from Florida who loved pulling magic tricks and was a one-on-one aide to Petey, a 12 year old boy who suffers from a fatal disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Over the years, it has gotten harder and harder for Jason to help him get around.  So he figured out a way to get him a power chair!

You’ve got to see the smile on Petey’s face as he’s riding in his hot new wheels. Jason caught him on video…you’ve got to take a look because it will put a smile on your face as well. But Jason soon realized that getting the new wheelchair into a vehicle to take him places was impossible.

After checking out the price of an Accessible Van, Jason got creative and put together this AMAZING plan for raising the funds for Petey’s van. And I PROUD to be a part of getting the word out!

I respectfully ask for YOUR HELP.

I am not only asking you to go to their website to donate to the cause (It’s a loving, touching story that I think you’ll appreciate), but for those of you who have wracked your brain for new ideas or ways to raise money for loved ones, friends, causes dear to your heart, this is one great idea that you or your non-profit could duplicate for a cause dear to your own heart!

Those of you who are business owners and not part of the nonprofit world, the interesting twist of this unique offer is that in return for a fairly small donation, you’ll recieve close to $2,000.00 of business building products and services from some extremely knowledgeable and qualified experts in their field.

So the way I see it? It’s a win Win, WIN! All the way around!
