The first weekend of the WinCustomize Charity/Subscription drive has now passed and it's time to review the numbers. After just four days, we've already gained a lot of ground towards meeting our $5,000 charity and 2,000 subscription goal. Response to what we're doing has also been great and I've got a pile of emails from people all over the community asking how they can help out more. I am humbled by the generosity you all have shown. It's the people on this site, and how they come together when called on that honestly makes this job so great.
For the Monday status update....
As of end-of-day Sunday, we are currently at:
- Subscriptions: 195 (9.75% of goal)
- Charity Dollars Raised: $636.68 (12.73% of goal)
We are averaging almost 49 subscriptions, and $159 per day. If we maintain a steady rate, we will reach 2,145 subscriptions and $7,003.51 raised for charity, completely blowing our targets out of the water. Great progress so far, but we have to keep it up! Later this week I'll have a new opportunity for people to support the drive who already have subscriptions renewed for the next decade or so, so stay tuned for that.
