In celebration of these remote donors, we’ve got a trivia contest for you today! Take a guess at how many rolls of the industrial TP used in our bathrooms it would take to reach from Capitol Hill to Tokyo.  The closest guess will win a certificate for a free card from The Card Project!  You have until 9am MST on Weds, 7/14/10, to post your guesses.  Good luck!

That means you can double your donation with no extra effort!  There’s no better time to make your first gift.

Have you donated to The Gathering Place before?  You can still be a part of this great match.  If you are able to donate a higher amount than your previous gift(s), the additional amount will be eligible for the same dollar for dollar match!  Can’t remember the amount of your previous highest gift?  Contact Samantha for help!
