Back when I was in charge of MTGParadise.com I managed a successful charity drive each year. The goal of the program initially was to raise enough funds to sponsor a one child through World Vision and this was achieved in the first year, 2003. In 2004 we aimed for two children and the community raised over $900 to get us over the line, which was fantastic.

The idea behind the program was to give something back as a community. This year in September I went back to the MTGParadise community to raise the funds to renew the sponsorships for both the children. A few of the regulars once again helped out raising enough to sponsor one child. I’m not a regular presence on the forum anymore and most people have no idea who I am so it was always going to be a big ask to raise the $900 again.

Of course you can guess where I’m going with this. The charity drive is moving to Entrepreneur’s Journey since you, my readers, are now my community. The goal is to raise enough funds to renew the sponsorship for the second child, about $450 total, and I would really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
