Cause Its My Birthday Press

Really why do we do anything but to curry favor with our parents? In my case, my mom. I told her I was up to BIG things this year and that my good deeds wouldn't go unnoticed. So see Mom! Aren't you proud of me? At any rate, what I really want to share is that our grassroots campaign Cause It's My Birthday is closing in just a few days (10/31 at midnight EST to be exact). We've kept the donations open all month in part because we're sooooooo close to our $20,000 goal. Yes, only $1,200 shy. That's a few clicks of the button from people like YOU. Ahem, just saying. But also because donations REALLY do keep coming in. In large part because of press, blogs, word of mouth and we figured, hey why not keep it open all month.

I wanted to give a press update then - as a follow up to THIS post on the first round of press.
