Here we go : www.SixDegrees.org
Many of you have sent me emails and left comments wondering how you can help in getting the word out about autism and fundraising. This morning I received an email from Stephaine (thank you) who let me know about a new social network set up by Kevin Bacon (yep, the Kevin Bacon) called www.SixDegrees.org in partnership with Network for Good.
Here's the basics:
www.SixDegrees.org is social networking with a social conscience. Through this web site, you can learn about and support the charities of celebrities and your friends, as well as fundraise for the causes close to your heart.By creating a Six Degrees Charity Badge you have an opportunity to raise even more money for your favorite cause! Your charity(ies) could receive a matching grant of up to $10,000. The six badges that have the most number of donations between January 18th and March 31st at 11:59pm ET will get a matching grant from Kevin Bacon. Multiple donations from a single individual to the same Six Degrees Charity Badge will only be counted once.
The process is easy; all you have to do is created a Six Degrees Charity Badge and you will automatically be eligible to receive the matching grant. Once you have created your badge, post it online or send a link to it (sample) via email to your family and friends so that they can help to support your effort.
Over on the right side of my blog you will see my badge to raise money for Autism Speaks. I really think that we could get enough donations to receive a matching grant. Here is your chance to make a difference.
And, thank you.
Hi Ali,
Is it also possible to make a badge and raise money for Dutch organisations?

Hi Ali.. I've added your badge to my blog, as well as put some information and links on there. I want to make sure, though, that by adding your badge, that any donations received from my blog will be matched... correct? Will they be counted with your donations??
Thank you for being such an inspiration...

LOVE LOVE LOVE the badge! I'm going to get one of my own for autism speaks. Thank you for being such a vocal advocate.
My (almost) three-year old spoke a full sentence this week. Great stuff. So nice to see the therapy working!
