We Made the Charity SemiFinals!
Just One Starfish has an amazing opportunity to be granted a GiveCamp Weekend from the generous folks at Dallas GiveCamp. What does that mean?
GiveCamp is when talented, generous IT people – web designers, programmers, computer people – donate an entire weekend of their time and talent to helping out nonprofit organizations. You might be familiar with a youth group lock-in…imagine one where the entire time is spent eating pizza, hacking and doing computery stuff all night long. (as said by a non computer person, clearly.)
For an organization like ours, this is huger than huge. We cannot afford to pay a staff of computer professional geniuses to revamp our website for approximately 700-800 man hours. And the end product will be amazing.
Here’s the catch:
Although we’ve made the semi-finals, it’s critical that we are voted into the top charity choices in order to be granted our weekend.
We need your help to make this dream come true. Here’s how you can help:
1. Click here and VOTE for Just One Starfish. It takes less than 5 seconds – literally.
2. Since you can only vote once, please repost this message on your FB wall or email your friends and family about it.
Just One Starfish will positively impact our community and change lives. It’s exciting to think about how many lives will end up being changed if we start helping and encouraging just one child at a time.
Thank you for doing your part to support us!

My new youth ministry venture is Just One Starfish…we’re taking youth ministry to a whole new level by teaching high school students how to be mentors in the local community. I hope you’ll support this new ministry with your vote.
