Final Donor List Rockstars Each Every One Of You

June 07, 2009 · By Sloane Davidson, Founder and CEO, Hello Neighbor

A huge gigantic thank you to each and every person on this list. I am so incredibly moved by the power of social media for social good. Below you will find a list of 124 people, some of whom are my oldest and dearest friends, some are more current friends, some are people I've worked with or worked for, some are people I've met at conferences or on vacation, some I know online only, some are total strangers. Donations ranged from $5 to $1500, with the average amounts being $25, $50 and $100. I am going to write a separate blog post about all of this fundraising. But what I'd really like to say to everyone below is from the bottom of my overflowing heart - THANK YOU.

I head to the Philippines as a Kiva Fellow on your behalf and I'm going to work harder than I ever have before to capture much of it, in words, pictures and video to share with you. Every little bit truly counts and what I'd like to say is that to press the donation button alone - JUST THAT ONE STEP - is more than most people do. And THEN you had to sign into PayPal, or enter your credit card information, or send me a check - in an envelope with a stamp. These are all HUGE steps. But something about my campaign struck you, and something made you want to give back - and for that moment - I can't tell you how important it is to harness that feeling of giving back. And let yourself feel that way again. And again. Because giving back, participating in social causes, has provided some of the best memories and most gratifying moments of my life and I thank you for sharing a piece of that joy with me in offering your donation.

I've tried - where applicable - to include a link to the company, business or if I didn't know those the Twitter or Facebook for the people below. Why? Because these people have what it takes. I recommend their business, their services, their products. Click around, see who is the "who's who" in my life and connect with them. Tell them you found them through The Causemopolitan!

(If you're on this list and would like another link attributed to you, just let me know!)

This is will also live in the top navigation bar, so you can always reference it there as well.
