We survived the skate – Now we need your support!

Here at Skate4Kenya, we want to be innovative and reach as many people as we can. If we limited our fundraising to more traditional static channels and soliciting funds from our friends and family alone, we would be VERY hard pressed to reach a wide enough audience to meet our $20,000 goal.

Soooooo, we decided we would try out some crowdfunding. We’re using a platform called Indie Go Go and you can find our project here: http://www.indiegogo.com/skate4Kenya. By using this web-based platform, whenever our friends and family (the people who usually help us get the first few dollars in) make a donation or share the Indie Go Go project page our reach increases because this gets spread both through their social networks and because our ‘clout’ increases with Indie Go Go.

This makes for a double shot of attention – we get one hit for you sharing our project on Facebook, twitter, etc and another because Indie Go Go will promote us to their network, on the homepage, in newsletters, and their social web so more people can see what we’ve done and make the choice to show their support.

PLEASE even if you can’t make a donation, that’s okay, really! WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO though, is SHARE our project page, http://www.indiegogo.com/skate4Kenya, with your network by going to our page, http://www.indiegogo.com/skate4Kenya, and sharing us on your facebook profile, tweet about us, email your friends and family, and so on and so forth.

We pushed nearly 500km to get your attention – now we just want you to push a button and share our story.

Thanks for helping!!
