Help Send a Woman to College

October 19, 2007 · Comments

Superstar Beth Kanter is campaigning to raise $1000 to send a woman to college. Yep. It will only cost $1000 to send Leng Sopharath to college. She’s halfway there. Here’s a video, and then scroll down.

Update: We did it!

Here’s the full article.

Click the CHIPIN widget in the upper right corner to give $10. You have $10 right? Let’s see if this community (YOU!) could blow Beth’s goal out of the water TODAY! Could we do it? Let’s try. It’s only $500 bucks. I’m logging in to give some money now. Can you help?

By the way, Beth is pioneering a lot of this social-media-for-nonprofits stuff, and Beth is a partial inspiration behind our social network group, Grasshoppers.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • This is great Chris- thanks for including us in the effort.
  • I'm in. How could I not, after meeting Darren Barefoot this week and experiencing his 1100 Stacies presentation? It's all about "pyramid schemes for good."
  • Thank you so much Chris! You are so fast! You got this done before I finish the thank you blog post!

    Well done, twitterians!
  • Thank you again everyone who helped. I wrote up how the campaign unfolded/

    We're over goal - the extra money will support the Sharing Foundation. If we can inch it up to $1,500, we can purchase a computer for her and her roommates (10 other college students being sponsored by the Sharing Foundation)

    Meanwhile, stupid me - I underestimated the power of the social web - so I'm a little behind in the personalized thank yous. But I will personally thank each and every donor in some way. Thank you so much.
  • Yeah .. I just found out that the computer is taken care of through other channels -- that's great. But I also found out that there is another college kid in the program who needs a sponsor. So, the if the campaign total goes to $2,000 - we can all sponsor another college student. If not, the excess will go into the Sharing Foundation's general education fund that covers kids who are not sponsored in both college and high school program.
  • Thanks for writing this.
