I'm going to tell you up front I am completely stealing this idea from Charity Water.
But I think it can work. Why? Because we ALL have birthdays. This is what you do.
Rather than asking for a gift card to Starbucks ask for donations to help support my World Race. You can get really creative and host a party with all your friends or maybe make an event on facebook asking people to celebrate by donating. It's really up to you.
Remember that social media is free and easy to use to I would recommend utlizing that facebook and twitter account. If you want to help out but can't think of any ideas just message me and I'll get back to you. I need to have $11,000 by December 1st so I need $3,500 more.
