SHOTS!

For a while now I've been playing with the thought of what I want to do for my 21st birthday. My birthday isn't until next May so you may be thinking I'm getting ahead of myself....I think not.

I really want my 21st birthday to be impacting (and not in the get plastered kind of way). Instead of gifts, I would like to raise money for a good cause.

Here's my "campaign" I guess you can say:

21RUN

The theme will be 21RUN to raise $2,100 by or before my 21st Birthday. Ideally I would like to have a website called 21run.org (.com is already taken). On the website I will have 21 shot glasses  wooo! (each value $100) and as donations come in, each shot glass will fill up, that way there is a fun visual way of watching my progress! The rest of the website will be a focus on the issue or cause I am working toward. Which leads me to my next inquiry....

WHO OR WHAT DO I DONATE TOO!?!?!

There are so many great organizations and important issues out there I wish I could donate to all of them!
I would love to focus on higher education and what I can do to support the effort of students like myself working for a better future. That's when I played with the thought of awarding it as a scholarship (bad idea). I'd either have to partner with an organization which would narrow my awardance too specific than maybe I would like at the moment, OR go through all of the paper work and money (THAT I DON'T HAVE) to establish a formal scholarship fund of my own.

At the moment I am gathering up my notes, lists, ideas, pros and cons, of different organizations or scholarship funds I could donate to and focus my fundraising efforts to!

Let me know what you think and if you have any IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS or RESOURCES I could utilize or consider!
