Post subject: If you facebook...can you help me out?
Hey guys!
For starters, myself and 3 other young women started GutRock Concert Series last year. It's a concert series that raises awareness and funds for IBD. We donate 100% of our profits to IBD research (in 2007 we donated $2500, and our 2008 shows are in planning stages now and will be in March and April).
For more info on that, search for GutRock Concert Series on facebook (we have a page, and a group) or check out our myspace at http://www.myspace.com/gutrockcanada.www.gutrock.com will be up and running before March 10th, as well.
Moral of the post (here's the spammy part!): We're in a competition on facebook called Razoo Speed Granting. If we get the most votes, we will receive $1000, second most votes, $250.
Once there, add the Razoo Speed Granting application (don't worry, after voting you can delete it immediately and get rid of that pesky application if you want to!), vote for GutRock Concert Series, and then either delete if you want, or help spread the word and get more votes for the cause!
The money will be used to pay upfront costs that we have in hosting the concerts, and will therefore save the money from coming out of the donation in the end! What is needed for costs will be used, and the rest will be donated, along with our show profits, to the London Ontario and Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario chapters of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada.
Every dollar counts! Lets get a few steps closer to finding the cure!
Sorry for the spam-esq post, guys! I just figured that with the size of petchat, some of you are bound to have IBD, or know people with it - or just plain be good people and want to support this cause!
