BlogAThon

A “ Blog – A – Thon,” you say ?

Blogathon begins July 28, 2007 at 6:00 am. Bloggers from around the world blog for one day and help charities around the globe. Blogs are posted every 30 minutes over a 24 hour period.

Remember bowling for charity -10 cents for every pin knocked down; or running for a dollar a mile ? During the Blogathon, people update their websites every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. For this, they collect sponsorships. Pledges can be a flat donation, or a certain amount for every hour the blogger manages to stay awake.

Go to Blogathon, choose ‘Southern California Library Literacy Network,’ and sign up. You do have to register. You don’t have to send any money right away. You will get an ‘e-mail’ reminder to go the SCLLN ‘Donations Page’ and send in your pledge.
