Thank you all so much for your support!

Today, I bring you the final tally/update for the WinCustomize Charity/Subscription drive...

  • Subscriptions: 1,171 (58.55% of goal)
  • Charity Dollars Raised: $4,207.00 (84.14% of total)

Thanks to a heavy surge in subscriptions on Friday, and the help of several very generous individuals we were able to clear the $4,200 mark, closing the drive at 84.14% of our charity goal, and 58.55% of our subscription goal!

Some quick statistics:

  • Our average numbers were $95.61 and 26 subscriptions per day.
  • There were 877 new subscribers and 294 renewing subscribers during the drive.
  • 17% of the charity total came from Master Skin sales

I can't begin to say how pleased I am with the charity dollars we raised.  I set our goals to be aggressive, and was surprised when we crossed even the $2,500 mark, when we hit $4,000 early on Friday, I was overjoyed!  The generosity of our Master Skinners and our community continues to amaze me.  I've seen you rally behind individuals who are having a rough time, help out folks who find themselves in need, and this year you came together to help raise over $4,000 for Childs Play in just over a month.

Thank you to the countless people who donated subscriptions, skins and more for our giveaways.  You helped keep the fun and festive mood alive throughout the drive.

And a huge thank you to our participating Master Skinners:

Your generosity helped raise over $700 towards or goal, which is no small number!

I can't thank everyone enough for helping to make this drive so successful!

Thanks out to the Masters, the subscribers, the donators, the web devs, and the community members who kept posts about the drive going.

Special thanks to Zoomba who made all this happen. I hope you are the one to present the check to Child's Play or the hospital. Great work. Merry Christmas (or I would like to wish you an adequate Winter Celebration.    )

Congrats to Zoomba and to everyone at and associated with Stardock and WinCustomize, you folks have once again showed us way we like to be called a community.   

To all of those that participated in the Chartiy/Subscription drive a hearty thank you from one memember of the community back at you. It's one of those times when it's very nice to be here and part of this community.   

You know, I just don't want to let go of this really good feeling, anyone have any ideas?
