Our Facebook cause just entered in America’s Giving Challenge, which gives us a chance to win $50,000!
To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that it doesn’t matter how much you give, but instead how much you do to encourage friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win.
Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook who we can ask to donate to our cause. But let’s think big too—can you put our cause in your email signature, can you throw a party and get people to donate through the cause when they enter, can you organize other people to go out and fundraise from all of their friends? As you reach out to your friends be sure to tell them why this cause matters to you.
I think we can do it! But it’s going to take all of us.
Donate right now by going to here.
Let’s win $50,000 for our cause!

The Family Crisis Center of Baltimore County has a new volunteer opportunity for those who are handy around the house.
