12-23-2009 UPDATE: TechStars Wellwishes leads with $485 raised, followed by Developer Wellwishes at $300. Start a campaign and raise the most by 11:59 PM 12/25 and 2 NHL Winter Classic Tickets are YOURS!

Last year when @wellwishes asked “What can $2 do?” YOU all raised $25,000 to build wells in 5 villages. More than 1,000 people joined together and MADE IT HAPPEN. This year I want YOU to amaze the world.

What can YOU do? Donate directly to Wellwishes2009, or…

You can DARE TO BE #AWESOME!! It’s easy:

1. create a page/campaign at http://mycharitywater.org
2. include the word WELLWISHES in your campaign title
3. FOLLOW my campaign page http://mycharitywater.org/wellwishes2009 (just makes it easier to find you)
4. tell your friends, coworkers and family that together, YOU’RE going to provide safe water for an entire village.

Lack of safe drinking water claims 5,000 children’s lives EVERY day. 1 in 6 people worldwide don’t have this basic human right. That lack leads to death, violence,read more… oppression of women, disease, children being pulled from school, environmental problems and even wars. Just $20 billion – 5% of the $400 billion Americans spend each holiday season, would SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

Think about it… what do REALLY want from this holiday season?

COMING SOON: SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR WHOMEVER RAISES THE MOST BY CHRISTMAS!!!

UPDATE: Get the hottest tickets in Boston!!! The wellwishes campaign page on http://mycharitywater.org that raises the most by 11:59 PM EDT 12/25/2009 will win TWO Tickets to the 2010 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic!!! I will be attending the game and I will be skating at Fenway on 12/30/2009.

Follow @wellwishes for updates. The whole campaign will run from 12/18/2009 until my birthday on 1/21/2010…
