I don’t often get a chance to promote charitable causes on this website.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I’ve recently become involved with fund-raising for The Curry BizCamp<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The BizCamp is a program dedicated to training underprivileged kids the basic skills of entrepreneurship and starting a business.<\/p>\n

Although I don’t come from an underprivileged background, being introduced to entrepreneurship and the idea of running my own business was a life-changing event.\u00c2\u00a0 Much of my productivity, goal-setting and other self-improvement pursuits started when the original idea of entrepreneurship was planted in my head.\u00c2\u00a0 I think encouraging others to go down a similar path, especially those who might not have the environment or role models to spark those ideas, is a fantastic opportunity.<\/p>\n

Until October 20th, I’ll be accepting donations to go towards the BizCamp<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I was introduced to the BizCamp through a class, so on the 20th, I’ll be writing a check for the total amount donated in that period to the BizCamp itself.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m collecting the donations personally in part because it is needed for my records as a fund-raiser, and also so I can make my own offer to sweeten the deal.<\/p>\n

Donate and Get Free Stuff (PBS-style)<\/h2>\n

It wouldn’t be much of a promotion if I wasn’t willing to put in something myself, so here’s the deal:<\/p>\n

Anyone who donates over:<\/p>\n
