[78-L] Billy Murray Memorial (delete if offensive)

[John Maeder]

Bruce and list --
Yes that is the website. I offered to conduct the fundraiser. On that site, but this is the first I have heard any response to that offer. However, I travel for a living and won't be home until 11/10, so if I conduct the web-a-thon, it will have to wait until I'm home. Having said that, anyone can conduct the fundraiser on streamthatcause.com. The concept is to create and upload a simple YouTube-style video about Billy Murray and pitch the cause in the video. Then anyone interested can pledge per-video view, donate, sponsor, or follow the cause. Supporters send the link to the cause page to others they think may be interested so the support base grows. The cause may also be posted to Facebook and Twitter. The cause page also has a blogging feature so that the cause coordinator and supporters can engage in discussion about the cause. Go back and visit the website and view the causes that are running now to get an idea of how it works. The site has only been on-line for a little over 36 hours so it is brand new. Everything is explained in greater detail on the website. www.streamthatcause.com
