ChecksDonation

(For those who are curious, since I didn’t have a way to quickly set this up as a 503(c) charity, the checks come in my name, and are reported as income to me. So the donation also goes in my name and I claim it as a deduction. This means I don’t have to pay income tax on these donations.)]]>No Kicking Penguins In The Newsstace@stace.comNone2010-03-03T10:51:23-06:00http://nokickingpenguins.org/page1/files/5b073e34b688c0062e1e29829630106d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://nokickingpenguins.org/page1/files/5b073e34b688c0062e1e29829630106d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8

Marvelous work, people!

On another note, I received this note from Charlie Stacey:

Colby's drawing will result in the creation of the $18,000 Rotary Harmony Park - an outdoor playground of large musical instruments which will be located on Autism Centre grounds adjacent to the Pippy Park Hiking Trail.The funds will be raised through our auction taking place on April 23. No Kicking Penguins will be used as part of our Auction event theme.

Excellent news!

Also, I’ve been contacted by the Autism Society of America, and they’ll be doing an interview with some of the people involved in this story for their newsletter. I’ll post more on that when it happens.]]>Switching to ASNL.stace@stace.comNone2010-01-31T22:14:44-06:00http://nokickingpenguins.org/page1/files/9eb3979fa5b8cbd80fd1965130aeb2d5-5.html#unique-entry-id-5http://nokickingpenguins.org/page1/files/9eb3979fa5b8cbd80fd1965130aeb2d5-5.html#unique-entry-id-5Tonight, we’re switching over to The Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Based on feedback, there’s now shirts in the Zazzle store. Cafe Press have contacted me about possibly doing something more with the Cafe Press store as well. So far today, over $130 dollars raised on sales of 40 shirts. I’m personally going to match up to $100 January and February, so we’re up to $230 for January.]]>
