Token donation is LIVE

PROGRESS REPORT:
8/27 387,000 tokens
8/28 852,000 tokens

8/29 441,000 tokens
8/30 594,000 tokens
8/31 551,000 tokens

Sept week 1: ? tokens
Sept week 2: ? tokens
Sept week 3: ? tokens
Sept week 4: ? tokens

Total so far: 2,825,000 tokens

Since we will continue donating to this organization in October I will update the progress every week instead of daily.

You may now go and donate tokens (stacks of 1,000) for the forachildswish.com (Disboards member organization) cause.

To donate and find out more information about this cause go to:
Redeem (redemption center in QR) -> Token Cashout -> Donation

2 common questions:
1)Do I donate the full 1,000 tokens or only the 500 I will lose if I don’t earn $25 to carry over 100% of the tokens?
You will have to donate the full 1,000 (500 you lose and 500 you would keep). This way we are matching 500 tokens you are donating instead of us just taking them away.

2) Will I have more choices of where to donate?
Starting October every month we will be selecting 2 or 3 organizations (from what members recommend) so that everyone will have a chance to raise some money for their organization and a choice of where to donate. We will try to help out as many small organizations as possible with this new project.

Let me know if you have any other questions

YEAH!!! It is nice to see the fruits of my suggestion come to life.

Thank you, Dmitry for making this possible. Please let us know at the end how many total tokens we all contributed!

I pray for blessings for Tina and her niece. Thanks to everyone who helps!

Is there any way that we could choose from a number of charities to donate tokens too?

Dmitry said...

Hi Shelley,
You will be able to choose the charities every month starting October (2 o 3 choices a month)

I really hate losing anything I have worked for. I mush prefer to give it away. How many point will it take to get Tina's neice to Disney World?

Jean1257 said...

Sorry about the spelling in my prior post. I was in a hurry and didn't preview it!

Dmitry said...

Hi Jean1257,
We will convert these tokens into a check which Tina will use to buy the tickets for her. I don't know how much tickets to Disney cost exactly, but she will combine this donation with the donation from her site to buy them.

Dmitry,
Thank you so much for this option.

When is the cutoff time for doing this?
Do we have until the 31st to submit our points?
(I'm close to rolling over another 1000 and want to wait as long as possible)

Dmitry said...

Hi Helen,
You have until midnight EST to submit it, but this charity will also be up in September since we only put it live a few days ago.

I guess I don't quite understand the way to decide how many points to donate. Say a person has 6000 points, then they should donate 3000 of them? Is that how it works? Also we have until the 31st at midnight then?

Leslie,
Please be as generous as you feel you can be. I can only imagine how I would feel if one of my granddaughters was going blind.

If you have 6123 tokens, you can donate 6000 of them. They need to be in groups of 1000 at a time.

Let's give Tina's niece as many tokens as we can spare.

Thanks to everyone for helping!

OK just to understand this say I have 6000 tokens today but didn't reach my goal of $25 for the month. I will lose 3000 tokens tomorrow. So if I donate 3000 tokens today that I would have lost, then tomorrow would I have 3000 points remaining or would I have 1500 points? In other words would I lose half of my remaining points in addition to donating the tokens? Just want to make sure how this is going to work

Hi dvc_doll,
You would have 1,500 tomorrow since you lose half of what is left in your account
