I've made initial contact with
http://www.halotrust.org/
I plan to throw up a website and dedicated wallet this weekend sometime to start collecting donations.
We chose this organization because of there world wide recognization, and the possible tie ins with 'mining'
What we need:
- A catchy slogan. We're called Premine, they dig up mines for a living. Get creative with the similarities =)
- Graphic Art for advertisement and website.
- Advertising. We as a community need to spread the word.
- Interviews with blogs and cryptonews sites.
