True Month of Love Campaign
I have a concept. I think it will prove to be a good one. I am neither rich nor famous but I do
work hard. I plan on being comfortable someday, I am just not there yet. When I get there and the
month of February rolls around I want to put my money where my mouth is. I always tell people I
love what I do so much I would do it for free and I would I get paid to help people. Unfortunately I
have bills to pay right now. Anyways back to the concept. When I make it someday I want the
month of February to be a true month of love. I want to work all month for nothing. No I am not
stupid. I want to work all month for no personal gain. I want to take that month's earnings and
divide it in 28 parts, one for everyday in February, (or 29 on leap years I am a detail guy) and
donate it to 28 (or 29) different charities. Let's make February a true month of love for everyone
less fortunate than ourselves. Can't afford to do this myself right now, but I like the idea and will
do this ASAP. If you know anyone who can afford to do this, a celebrity, wealthy business person,
anyone who can afford it, pass it on and issue them the challenge. I am not asking anyone to put
their finances or family well being on the line, this is only a challenge to those who can
comfortably do this. Let's show the world that just because you make money does not mean you
don't care. Keep in touch and share your thoughts and ideas with me @ ben@benpemberton.com
The concept is getting bigger. Just got the idea to give normal income americans to participate. Let's go with 10% of your February income. And to one charity so the donations will count. I know that's a lot given the economic times, but think of the things we waste money on. We can cut back a little for 28 days to change lives. Keep the suggestions coming and spread the word. - Thanks Heather for the percentage idea.
Add on again. If you can't do 10% do 5% can't do that do 2.5%. Anyone can do 2.5%. That's like a coffee a day. Let's make a difference. SPREAD THE WORD!
Thanks,
:)Ben
