The 3-Way Fundraiser!



The 3-Way Fundraiser. Donations To Help Others and Support a Podcast.


Over the past week, I've been trying to come up with a way to raise money for my podcast, The Black Box (known to most as The PKD Black Box Podcast) because I am in need of new recording equipment and tech in order to keep the show going.

If you want to know more about the podcast, click here.

The podcast has been running strong for three years now, and I have avoided asking for donations because I just didn't feel comfortable asking listeners, fans and followers of the show for money to help keep it going.

But I wanted to also do something to help others that are in need right now, especially after all the damage caused by Super Storm Sandy a few weeks ago.

So I think I have come up with a fair solution that will help raise money for the podcast, and help others at the same time.

I call it the "3-Way Fundraiser."

Get your heads out of the gutter, people. This is a fundraiser with a purpose.

All proceeds for the "3-Way Fundraiser" will break down like this:

- %33 of proceeds from the 3-Way Fundraiser will be donated to the Red Cross to help those affected by Super Storm Sandy.

- Another %33 of proceeds from the 3-Way Fundraiser will go towards Artist J.K. Woodward, who lost his home and belongings due to Super Storm Sandy.

- And %34 of proceeds will go towards new equipment for The Black Box Podcast (Microphones, computer accessories, software purchases, hosting fees, etc)

%33 + %33 + %34 = %100

I balanced the proceeds out to make it as fair as possible for the money to be distributed evenly towards all three things.

The 3-Way Fundraiser will end on November 23, 2012.

There are a few ways to donate or contribute to the fundraiser if you're interested:
