One week ago exactly, the OB Rag began a fund raising campaign – having found ourselves broke.
We set a goal of $1,000 to raise for the week – from Friday to Friday.
And wow! Our supporters and readers came through – and we raised nearly $1650 ($1642.50 to be exact) in that week.
That’s two-thirds over our goal!
The outpouring of support and sense of sponsorship among strangers and good friends has been amazing – and inspirational.
We had 40 donors exactly – not counting 2 people who signed up to be “monthlies” – and three-quarters of them were from Ocean Beach and the 92107 area.
We made promises in our initial fund raising campaign – the articles and posts that we wanted to publish – and since then, a couple have been posted – and we’re hard at work on the others.
