"Stop me before I volunteer again!"

| linkyness | | Comments (2)

Too late. I jumped in with both feet this time.

The Fifth Annual Blogger Boobiethon is just around the corner and I'm the volunteer wrangler. This year's $359 is gonig to a local cause:

We're requesting that in the spirit of the original Boobie-Thon, the first $359 donated this year go toward Children's Hospital Boston as the "bloggers helping bloggers" portion of the Boobie-Thon.

Taken from Robyn's site...

Once again we desperately need volunteers for this year's event. If you're interested in helping with any of the following, please use my comment-form and drop me a line (click on the Contact link on the site)!

1. people to record donations in real-time (you'll get pledge amounts and names / e-mail addresses e-mailed directly to you during 2-3 hour shifts and will then pass along your data to the donation coordinator at the end, which will be added to our donation totals and donor names pages on the site)

2. people with Photoshop experience to edit submission photos (sorry but guys edit guy submissions - girls edit girl submissions - no crossovers for safety-reasons - even though the guys whine about this not being fair every year) - then you'll pass these photos along to photo coordinators

3. schedule coordinators for donations and photo editors to help fit the volunteers into the daytime, evening and overnight shifts that work best for them - requires making the schedules and sending out shift-reminders

4. donation coordinators responsible for collecting all donation records from donations editors and posting donor lists and donation totals to the site at least 3-4 times per day

5. DESPERATELY need someone with PR background to send out letters to the media in the next 1-2 weeks, so we have media attention and buzz going in advance of the 'Thon's official launch on 10/1.

Anyway, I need people to, erm, wrangle, so volunteer. Or send in photos. Or donations. Or just enjoy the photos as they're posted.
