Earlier this week, I had posted about a charity donation giveaway<\/a>, where you, my readers would help me decide where I’m going to donate this year. It was honestly a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

There was a ton of support for multiple charity organizations and with good reason. These organizations depend on funding to provide great services, whether it be a place for youth to grow, child care, a disease, or even animal care. There simply isn’t enough funding for some of these very important organizations out there.<\/p>\n

Again, this was a really interesting way of giving back this holiday season. I do admit that the contest was a bit tough to understand with the 3 mediums though. I’ll try to simplify it with the next one I do.<\/p>\n

Without further adieu, here are the results!<\/p>\n

Outlet #1 \/ Blog Comments:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I ended up receiving 29 comments on my blog directly. I’ll even throw in a response for myself, rounding it up to 30.<\/p>\n

Vote tally is as follows: (I’m including links if you want to find out more about the charities voted for.)
\n1. NACBA (12 Votes) – site link<\/a>
\n2. Baby Landon (7 votes) – site\u00a0<\/a>link
\n<\/a>3. UEAA (4 votes) – site link
\n<\/a>All with 1 vote:
\n4. Students helping street kids – site link<\/a>
\n4. APEX – site link<\/a>
\n4. Heaven’s Angels animal rescue – site link<\/a>
\n4. Philippines Typhoon<\/p>\n

Congrats NACBA! I will be donating $30, which will be matched by a contributor, making it $60!<\/p>\n

Outlet #2 – Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Facebook came through with 80 likes! Unfortunately, only two people remembered to link a charity. There was a vote for Baby Landon & the Philippines typhoon. Since Baby Landon received the 2nd highest amount of votes in the blog, the donation will go to him.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all who voted for Landon, hopefully we can make a difference together. I will be donating $80, which will be matched by a contributor, making it $160!<\/p>\n

Outlet #3 – Twitter:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, not too many placed their votes via Twitter. In fact, only 1 person tweeted properly using my hashtags & rules.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since donations only get matched starting at $25. I’m going to donate that amount to Projetouere<\/a>. It will get doubled to $50 in total.<\/p>\n

So in total, we helped give away $270 to charities for the holidays.<\/strong> Give yourself a pat on the back and remember to help someone out if you’re in a good situation to do so!<\/p>\n
