My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Your gift will go toward Team California's trip to Thibodaux, Louisiana, June 25th - July 1st, which I am going on. Team California was organized by my friend Dawn Dais in order to build houses to help Louisiana recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. The Gulf Coast is still in a shocking state of disrepair and your gift will directly impact people's lives. I am trying to raise funds for the cost of sending the entire group, over 20 people, and to cover building supplies. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. To read about this trip in more detail, please visit Team California's page by clicking here.

As some of you know, I am participating in Mustache May, during which I will be growing a mustache for the entire month and not shaving it until June 1st. Please fund my 'stache. As an added bonus, for every $100 donated, I will extend my 'stache growing by one day, so if I reach my goal of $2,500, I will have a 'stache until the day I head to Louisiana. If my goal is exceeded, I will continue to honor the $100 per day pledge: $3,000 would be 30 days, $6,000 would be 60 days.

Any single gift of $500 and you can make me switch from Fu Manchu style to CHP/'70s Adult Film Star style.


Your gift could help buy:
$10 = Box of Nails
$35 = Roof Shingles
$50 = Low Flow Toilet
$75 = Window
$100 = Kitchen Sink
$150 = Front Door
$500 = Siding
$1000 = Wallboard
$2000 = Flooring

Although my stated goal is $2,500, the total cost of the trip is $20,000. Any money raised above my goal will also go directly to building houses.

You can check progress of my 'stache here: www.fundastache.org.

P.S.: I look ridiculous with a mustache.

P.P.S.: I'm sure my girlfriend is thrilled with this.
