Made a charity page as a hub for all (future) charities. I really hope we get a lot more on this list.

Wow, that went quickly!

24,452 Nst already donated!

just another 10,000 Nxt and Nifty and Justabit can push this with the media Smiley

I also like that there is a mix of big and small donations. Doesn't matter if it's 10 or 10,000 Nxt, it's a community effort Smiley

If you guys have any question, just let me know. I have a fairly public profile from interviews I've done before with Peercoin and Feathercoin... even so, I didn't want to hold the coins since I was leading the initiative. If you rather ask questions through either Skype or through a phone call, just drop me a PM.  I'm excited about the initiative, Nikel and I are also getting the swarm information together tonight.

** Update **

$6k for the kids!!

"** Songs of Love **

Alright, I just head back from John at Songs of Love. Be proud everyone, we raised over (drum roll) $6k for the kids!!

"... The Nxt community is the most compassionate group
that we have so far come across in the cryptocurrency world. We are eternally grateful to you John for spearheading this most amazing campaign. We will be delighted to bring Nxt in at the 5,000 sponsorship level and we will be giving you the full back page of our event program as well as top billing on our event web site at www.songsoflove.org/LA. Please provide us with the logo you would like to see displayed on our site and event program. I addition, I was so moved by your effort that I still want to come up with the Nxt theme song. I would like to work with you on the various elements you'd like included in the lyrics of the song. You can reach out to me for a discussion about this.


I will be back from LA on March 14 and can get on with creating the Nxt theme song at that time." - John Beltzer, Songs of Love"


I've asked Damelon to send a few test coins to their officially address just to verify everything is working correctly. We'll move the rest and notify the community once this is complete.



Goal

Raise $10k worth of Nxt (170,000) for Songs of Love, a national non-profit 501(a)(3) organization

Goal: 170,000 Nxt
Paid: ~40k  Nxt (PLUS: anonymous donor is will to match funds 1-to-1 up to 100k NXT!!!)

Total: ~ 80k Nxt

http://www.songsoflove.org/nxt/


Deadline:
Feb 27, 14


Charity Background


The Songs of Love Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing personalized songs for children and teens currently facing tough medical, physical or emotional challenges, free of charge. Songs of Love is one of the first charities to accept Bitcoin and other crypto currencies without asking to be paid in fiat!

http://www.songsoflove.org/


Here's their segment on 60 Minutes:

http://www.songsoflove.org/60minutes/


Why Charity

I work as a full time network engineer/trainer for a leading managed service provider. Aside from my technical role, I also help lead charity initiatives within the organization. I do my best to volunteer time and financial resources to local charities in our area ranging from the Food Harvest to various homeless shelters.


NXT Challenges


Writer's need and want a story! Let's give them one! We've noticed that the technical story doesn't appeal to a lot of writers and they are asking for something that appeals to their readers. This ís appealing and we can piggyback Nxt on this story. We can feed them technical stuff to include in their articles to use as they see fit.


The Win/Win

I'm all about the win/win when it comes to crypto.  By supporting this initiative, we're not only helping sick children that could truly use our support but also showing that this community understands the value of giving back. Now that's something to write about!


The *** BIG *** Bonus

If we're able to raise at least $10k, we'll be the official sponsor for the Inaugural Songs of Love LA Benefit located here:

https://www.songsoflove.org/LA/

Mainstream media will be covering the event, we'll have the opportunity to get our name out there. Anytime we reach out to the media, we'll be able to lead with that information. We're not just one of the endless coins yapping away on message boards, we're NXT.. the eco-system that's made for business.


Who Will Hold the Money?


The money will be held by Damelon, a trusted member of the NXT community that produces the NXT Summaries


Action Item

1. Send your NXT payment to the following address which is controlled by Damelon:

4636321498642303120

I will ask Damelon to confirm this is his address in the thread


2. Make a post and let us know what you contributed


3. Let others in the community know about the initiative


Deadlines

In order to become the headlining sponsor, we need to turn the money in by Feb 27th at the absolute latest.  If we do not reach that goal by the Feb 27th deadline, we'll send Songs of Love the amount raised and still create a press release around that number.  The address of Songs of Love will be posted and we will have the director, John Beltzer, verify it was received.


NXT Press

Once we break $2,000, I will coordinate with the different PR teams to start creating press releases and get them out to our contacts. If you're not familiar with our results, take a look at NiftyNikel's Miami Bitcoin Conference Reports:

http://www.nxtcoins.nl/miami-bitcoin-conference-updates-summary/

Once we get that information out, we'll then create a PR campaign around our Trekcon involvement. CoinTropolis will be donating 5 coins to the first 2000 people that attend the event. This charity push will start a stream a news that the community has been demanding. Check out the list of stars:

http://www.trekconspringfield.com/


Summary

If $30k can be raised for a bobsled team, surely this community can come together and help raise $10k for sick children.  CoinTropolis will start off the party by donating 10,000 NXT to this venture.  If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them in this thread as quickly as possible.
