January brings lots of fresh things. A clean start, a new beginning, promises of a healthier diet (that will more than likely not happen), and new opportunities. I hope to be apart of one of these new opportunities by ringing in the new year by announcing my new fundraiser! A great way to partner with me in ministry!
9 Days of a New Year:
So what is it?
From January 1st – January 9th my goal is to gain 9 new monthly supporters of $50 or more for the remaining months until I’m fully funded! I hope to be fully funded by launch date in August! So for the next 8 months with 9 supporters of $50 would bring a total of $3,600 adding to 25% of my goal! How awesome!? The great part is that each donation is a tax-deductible donation! Score for me and for you!
Why $50? Because it’s a small starting point investment. Sacrificing $50 a month is a faithful and trusting investment you are giving. As you monthly pour into my fund, you join me in learning what giving God your financial status feels like and the gifts that He gives in return.
Maybe you can’t afford $50?! Grab a couple of friends or family members and split it up! One of my favorite parts of this journey is the community that is brought together and the relationships that continuously built. I have built so many relationships with strangers and friends that will only grow over the year(s) and it would excite me to see others doing the same!
BUT THERE’S MORE!!
To show my appreciation to you as a supporter, I will send the new monthly supporters of $50+ a month a gratitude package to your home featuring a hand painted canvas. Any canvas that you receive would make a great addition to your office/home decor or a beautiful gift to someone special!
If you choose to make a one-time gift in between January 1-9th of $109 or more you will also receive a hand-painted package to your home!
IN ADDITION…if together we make the goal of 9 new partners of $50+ a month OR receive $1,039+ of total donations during the nine days, I will take custom orders for the canvas paintings and release a one-time hand-scripted download you can use as a wallpaper or background!
Wow. That’s a lot of exciting news!!
So, if you are interested in joining the 9 Days of a New Year, please access the site by clicking on the orange “Support Me” link. Immediately after you choose that, you will be brought to the page that will lead you step by step through your tax deductible contribution. If you need to talk with me about other payment options, send me a message or e-mail and I would love to talk you through it!
What if I have already made a donation? What if I’m planning on giving to you in the near future?
How wonderful to hear! I’m thankful that you have chosen to do so! You can still participate in the 9 Days of a New Year fundraiser by sharing (Facebook) or Re-gram (Instagram: @keeping.it.cassie) this blog post, and your name will be entered into a drawing for a free gratitude package of a hand painted canvas. Be sure to TAG me, OR use the HASHTAG #CassAcrossContinents, so I can put your name in. The share or re-gram must be within January 1st- 9th!
The winner will be announced by January 13th.
I am super excited for this fundraiser and I can’t wait to see the partnerships that will be built from it.
3 countries in 9 months.
Together we can get 9 new monthly supporters in 9 days to raise $3,600 in total!
Lastly, I wanted to let you know that as I am still collecting money over the holiday season from the order of t-shirts I have reached the $1,000 mark! It’s just taking a while for it to go through the system and collect the money. Thank you for that!! I am currently doing another round of shirts, after it was much requested. This time, there is only one color available though! Contact me for more information!
So grab a couple of friends and pitch in or make the commitment as a family for 9 Days of a New Year! Or just share and tag me in your post for a chance in the drawing. I’ll be updating you all with a daily post of progress. We can do it!!
(Special thanks to Paige, a future world-racer on the 11 in 11 route!! Thank you so much for the idea, your help, and pouring into me with encouragement! God is so wonderful to connect strangers with a common goal: to serve Him.)
