Let's Get This!!

Alright, Bravehearts, it’s go time!! Here’s how this will work. Gotta do it in 5 Steps, right? PLEASE READ ALL 5 STEPS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!

Step One: Log into your PayPal account and click the tab that says “Send Money”. Where it says “To” enter the email address joemac2011@gmail.com

Step Two: Make your donation. Please be sure to click the tab that says “Personal” rather than “Purchase.” Enter the amount you wish to donate. Then click the button that says “Gift” and press “Continue.” It’s important that you make sure you click Gift before Continue. Be sure that you are making a payment to joemac2011@gmail.com

Step Three: Determine your payment method.

If you make your donation using a bank account or PayPal balance, there is no fee associated with making the donation. If you use a Debit or Credit Card there is a 2.9% fee that goes to PayPal.  If you choose not to pay the fee, it will be deducted out of the donation you make.

Step Four: BEFORE you click “send money” Scroll down to where it says “Email to recipient.” Please add a message that includes your Twitter name and preferred email address for future communication. THEN click “Send Money.”

You’ll instantly receive a receipt from PayPal for your donation. Again, it will list the name of the fan whose credit card is being used to hold the group’s donation. Once we make the donation, United Way will send us a letter and we will forward that on to everyone who has donated.

Step Five: Within 24 hours of your donation (probably less), you’ll receive an email to the address you specified in Step Four that will give you instructions for your message to Joe to be posted on the blog. Reply to that email with your message, following the instructions, and be sure to include your Twitter Name in case there are any problems. We will email you back, confirming it has been received.

The last day to donate will be Wednesday, December 22^nd at 10am EST. It’s a little early but with people going on vacation for Christmas, this is the only way we can ensure Joe’s gift is received by United Way before his birthday.

If there are any problems or you have any questions, please DM us @joemac_2011 and we’re happy to help in any way we can.

As stated in our previous blog entry, if you’re not comfortable proceeding through PayPal, please follow the directions to donate directly by check. We’ll keep everyone up to date on how much money we’ve raised through the Twitter account. We will NOT post people’s individual donation amounts. 

On December 22nd at approximately 12PM EST the blog will go live with everyone's messages.
