Ecstatic to see The Power of 10 up and running! My wife and I were really touched when Pamela's spoke to us during PCC 2.0 and we can't wait to see how fast our community SURPASSES $1M for Give Kids The World!!!

Happy New Year everybody,
John

HI!
I am so happy to have heard about this great group! My name is Jessica and I am a huge fan of Disney, Make a Wish and Give Kinds the World. They made my little cousin's dreams come true at a time when hearing her laugh was like a little miracle. Nine years later she is a happy 12 year old with a healthy dose of the Disney bug herself but we can never forget the joy those organizations brought to all of us.
I am so happy to be apart of this group and to start spreading the word. And I'll be sure to get my cousin to join us so maybe her and her mom can do some first hand experience stories for us!
I work with a lot of children's theater groups here in New York so maybe I can tap into that for some advertising, like in one of our programs or something....more ideas will be forth coming!

Blessings and Love,
Jessica

Thanks for doing this! I've been so blessed to be able to go to WDW a few times & am so happy to help!! I have blogged about it on my non-Disney related blog so I'm hoping to reach a few of my readers to contribute to the Power of 10!

Thanks to Pete and Dave and all the others who have worked so hard to get this off the ground. I already texted once myself to donate $10, will send a check directly to GKTW later this week, and plan on spamming everyone on Facebook repeatedly (first post is away) until they donate. Also, I plan on making some flyers to distribute around school with info on donating.

That's the way to do it!!!!

I am excited for this. Does anyone know if I can txt the number from Canada on a Canadian phone? I would rather not lose the 5% to First Giving. It seems a bit steep.

Only if you give me a tour of Australia...

Seriously, I don't see why you couldn't text from Canada, but let me look into it.

Hi BrizMarc: Turns out you were correct to question texting from Canada. Here's what I heard from mobileGiving.

Unfortunately, only US Based carriers are supported in the current text to give efforts. We hope to have the Canadian carriers on board very soon.

So the number could be text from Canada, but it would have to be from a US based cell phone.

Sorry I didn't have better news, and hope you can still help out.
