Brainstorming ideas on how to raise money for the Massage Therapy Foundation
OK, so I recently had a clickfest around the MTF website and got a wave of guilt.
They have a list on the site of contributors to the MTF last year and my name isn't on it. There's a reason for that. I didn't give them anything.
Most people already know that the MTF is involved in providing grants for research, but they do much more than that. They provide therapeutic massage to people in need, education and provide us with a free open access journal.
So I was thinking of ways in which I could give. I could just write them a check, but I was also thinking of maybe doing something cool once a quarter and giving the proceeds to the MTF while providing massage too.
They have some information on different ways people can donate on their site (CE providers can donate proceeds from a class, for example), but I was just wondering if anyone had some interesting ideas on what we can do in our businesses.
I know that a lot of people got involved in helping raise money for Haiti and maybe this is the wrong time to throw this on the board, but I'm doing it anyway!
Thoughts?

Terry,
Great idea for a prize - he might have to make do with a t-shirt tho'. But then again.....other things are springing to mind.....hmmmm. I'm going to have a wee thinky about this......
I'm going to be off the board for a while since I'm going on vacation for a week and will be unable to access the internet, but I hope the ideas will keep on flowing on how to raise money for the MTF.
Just don't think that I'm ignoring anyone .

Great ideas here, should generate some creativity for October! Ten bucks from each of us could make a difference. Or maybe we could each donate the proceeds from the tenth person we massage that week.
Love that bike, Christopher--I used to have one of those in red! Great fun, and please be careful without a helmut...at the hospital they call those "donor mobiles."
Happy St. Patrick' Day to all...guess I'll step in as the token Irish since Vlad is off having fun elsewhere!

Thanks. And I agree with you about helmets. I only occasionally putter around the neighborhood without one.

Just a quickie from the squirrel - Happy St. Paddy's day, everybody!
Oh, and just to keep this thread interesting while I'm working on a wee thing in my free time (which isn't much since it's that post-vacation backlog of clients) can y'all give me an Irish joke - BAD OR GOOD - just for fun?
Bring it! Even if it's a "thick Mick" joke. I can take it!

Just to start it off:
Whats a 7 course meal for an Irishman?
A 6 pack and a potato.
