As I mentioned last month,
I participated in this year's AIDS Walk on Saturday.
I raised over $1300 online,
handily exceeding my goal of $1,000.
I also raised another $300 in cash and checks at the fundraising barbecue
that we threw on September 1st.
I've lost count, but I believe that in the last 15 years, I've raised about
$10,000 for charity. Most of it has been for the Northwest AIDS Walk.
The last few years that I was at Microsoft,
I raised $2,000-$3,000 each year, thanks to the power of
Microsoft matching,
which doubled the amount of money that I raised.
I've also raised money two years running for
Ugandan orphans
sponsored by Vim:
Microsoft Vim Users raised $2650 for orphans in Uganda.
Go me!
