Hi John,
Very worthy cause, I've made a donation as well this afternoon.

Donation made. Now if only I can get UGM to stop sending me spam mail via snail mail! :shock:

I just started my site and unfortunately I'm not making enough from affiliate marketing to be able to donate a lot but I will definitely try to if I can, maybe $25-$50 or so. Good to see you matching the donations though John :)

just donated .. always willing to chip in a little here and there.

Ok, you win. This is a good cause. I'm in. You don't have to match it, though. Thanks.

Great fundraiser to help charities John. Terry is right when she said bloggers can do something for the world and not just wanting to make money. Blessed are those who help the needy for they shall be blesssed tenfold by the Lord. Count me in.

The Thanksgiving one was pretty successful, I'll donate to this one!

This is very good news. I would try to feed as many mouths as I can through my donations. I hope they do well. :smile:

Dear John Chow:

(Is that your real name, by the way?) I have heard your name around the internet and thought I 'd stop by and see what all the commotion was. I don't get it. Kind of boring stuff, actually, John. This post today was an exception. I'll sure give it some consideration.

If you really live in Canada, I need some help beating the Brits back at britspeak.blogspot.com because I don't speak their lingo and I'm really getting attacked. Being Canadian, I know you don't speak their kind of English either. But you might at least give me some ideas. Besides, it would give you a break from all this boring shit over here. If you know what I mean.

Making a lot of money is really cool John. But I would like to see if you also have a sharp mind. I sense that you might. Thanks for listening.

PS-If you come, use a different name. I don't want people to know where I've been today.

This is great! Thanks John, I invited some people for dinner! :-) Mailed you the paypal-receipt. Or should I get a receipt from UGM? :?:

Very nice John, this is what we like to see. I think that the very notion that someone will be matching your donation entices you to donate all the more. Keep up the great work :grin:

John, keep this kind of thing up and you are going to have to add a little icon with a halo to keep the evil ones company. :twisted: :evil:

I donated a wee bit and am glad to have been presented the opportunity to help make a happier easter for a few people.

lol umm.. why does it look like this is hosted in someones kitchen? lol

I recall Alex having a guest post here where there was some discussion about donating money for the greater good, and it comes as no surprise that John is offering to match the donations of his readers. Truly successful people are often the most generous.

Small donation made to UGM from www.manliness101.com, proof will be sent to you John!

Good stuff John,

I've always wanted to start a charity like this in San Fran.

Guess you "are" evil~ :evil:

I made a donation, it is small, but every bit helps. I love your blog, and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to help out this cause.

I did not get an email receipt, was there something special I had to fill out to get one? All I got was this:

Thank you so much for your generous contribution to Union Gospel Mission. You will receive an official tax receipt in the mail in 2-3 weeks. If you have any questions or wish to speak to somebody about your transaction, please call Barb at 604.215.5440 (ext 322), or send an email to donors@ugm.ca

Anyone know???

Thanks
Rachel Duncan

You're a great guy, John.

Great post, and great way to incentivize others to build traffic to their blogs. This sort of moral incentive is usually lacking across the blogosphere.

John you are truly a great guy!
I just sent a donation!
It's guys like you that really make a difference in this world!

Wonderful! You are one of the only bloggers I can recall that does something like this. I will be sure to tell my colleagues about this today as well. We need a good fundraiser like this in the states!

A great gesture for sure John. Not only are you raising money for this great organization but awareness as well. It's great to see the support coming from your readers.

You can never go wrong donating to charity!

Very nice gesture John. I always enjoy the fact that people are willing to help those in need. A great thing to do ;)

Another small donation made!

Good video :mrgreen:

This post exemplifies the three things I admire about you most, John:
1. you give to charity genuinely
2. you help out the little guys (like me) by offering a chance at free promotion. And of course,
3. you manage to sneakily benefit from it all :evil:
I'll be donating soon!

That's a great thing. And I am familiar with that koala drink, as a friend of mine knows how to do it.

Maybe this time around I can finally donate something :), but com'on John, match the donations 200x :)

WTG JC!

I'd do a freestyle for you, but I can't think of anything that rhymes with philanthropist.

In indonesia UGM is Universitas Gajah Mada or University of Gajah Mada, it is an univercity that famous in my country..

Great cause. Small donation made.

Food for 10 people ....done. Glad to help :smile:

for anybody who missed the name of the drink John was slugging down, it is pronounced ko-a-la, one more time, ko-a-la....

Nice, and thanks for the perk.

I was just thinking a few weeks ago and wonder if you were going to do another blog fundraiser for UGM - good to see that you are! I'll be sending in my donation soon.

Let me the first person to comment and start with my $100 donation. I wish I could donate more. I will defanitely try to get more next year. I have a new site www.car345.com, inviting everyone to be member of this group. I will send you proof john. I appreciate your efffort in this charity.

Just made my donation! I am a new blogger so funds are tight, but I am happy to help whenever I can.
