What if you made a Facebook event...

[elnino4530]

And asked all of your "friends" to donate $1 to you via PayPal? One dollar really isn't anything to most people, but the total sum would beoutrageous. I've asked myself quite a few times if anybody would actually do it, and what I would do with the money.

Of course it wouldn't be used for myself, but what about adopting a family for the holiday season? Everyone could feel like part of something good for aslittle as $1

all the hockey players have rent parties.

they have a DJ have a wet bar and sell drinks and shots and 5 a cup for the kegs.

they have a party 2-3 times a month and all the money goes to the dj/alc/rent and bills.

they have yet to pay rent with their own money yet. and their parties be poppin. its like a club in a house party

.

i only have ~350 friends.
so it wouldn't even be that much money.

Ask for $1.03 so you get a full dollar. Is paypal still charging 3% or has it changed?

i thought the topic was gonna be...

"what if you made a facebook event...and the confirmed guest didnt look encouraging"

 

[justdonikes]

what are the odds that all your facebook friends have paypals?

 

[whateversclever]

this reminds me of some cartoon.. where the villian wanted everyone to send him one dollar. lol

 

[f3djam]

the hell?

well i hope it is... ya boy bout to get some hugs

 

[feelmode]

i just started a FB page, so i wouldnt even get 100 bucks

and thats if everyone donated. had thousands of myspace friends when that was poppin tho

 

[rsdplaya]

see the problem is that all your friends would have to have a paypal and they would have to have money in their account in my opinion to even consider doingit.

 

[elnino4530]

Well, PayPal only takes a couple minutes to set up and comes in handy when buying things online...so if people don't have one it wouldn't be too muchof a burden to make one.

And I know probably about 96% of the people on my friends list, so it wouldn't be like giving $1 to a stranger.

I made it into a status and the response has been oddly positive. I've always wanted to adopt a family for the holidays but have never had near enoughmoney. The website said that each family only gets to do it once, MAYBE twice in their lifetime so if I did it I'd like to have enough to really make itspecial.

Maybe I'm just coming up with weird ideas cause I haven't slept in a while, but I think it would be a nice feeling to be part of the giving, and for afamily to know a ton of people made a small effort to give them a great holiday

 

[mateen cleaves]

not a lot of people use paypal, atleast out of the people i know.

 

[mytmouse76]

i wouldnt give anyone money on myspace or facebook...even if it was for a good cause...

i'd rather do it for an org on campus or the santa outside wal mart...
