Drifting for Katrina
Please visit http://www.worldwidechang.com/Katrina for more information, updates, etc.
Please help me spread the word on this... the more people see it the bigger chance I have to raise more money. As of Monday the 12th I am choosing the Salvation Army to be the charity of choice for donation, although I am also doing some research with the help of friends in Houston on local charities in the area that might have a better impact on donations towards hurricane victims.
And I thank you for taking a look at this...

With sincere thanks,
Alex Chang
So this is how it works (taken from my site):
How does it work?
Remember when you were a kid, and either you or your friends/classmates had to take part in fundraisers for a school trip? You were often given candy to sell for a premium, or you also went around soliciting pledges for your fundraiser from individuals. These pledges are no more than $5-10 per person, and you just need a minimum amount of people to reach your fundraising goal.
As an adult, the same concept is used in fundraising for a worthy cause. Some might have people pledge money for a sports event, others might donate for a marathon (like AIDS Walk, etc). The general concept is the same, where you pledge a small amount and fundraise a lot of money by virtue of “power in numbers”.
Well, when I saw the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, the first thought that came to my mind was “How can I help?” Given that we are so far from the disaster area, the best thing we can do is to donate cash to help relief efforts. Then I had this awesome idea of Drifting for Katrina.
Here’s how it works: I will compete in Drift Day Competition 5 on September 25th 2005, and you as a supporter will pledge a specific dollar amount for supporting me in the competition. The higher I finish, the more money you commit to the cause.
The most amount of money that you can commit is $30. It isn’t a lot, and as an individual $30 might not seem like much, but if 50 people committed $30 each, that is $1500. 100 people, $3000. Just imagine the possibilities!!!
The levels of participation…
The following are the levels of participation you can take part in:
A: Minimum donation: $5
B: Finishing in First Round: $10
C: Finishing in Second Round: $15
D: Finishing in Third Round: $20
E: Finishing in Fourth Round: $25
F: Placing in top 3: $30
Optional Bonus level: If I win the event, you commit $40 to this cause, and I buy you dinner.
How do you participate?
Send me an email to [email protected] with your name, email address, and the level you wish to participate in (A, B, C, etc). I will put your name in an Excel spreadsheet and update it daily.
Thank You!
Please help me spread the word! And I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart in participating in this event!!!
Special thanks to Cheston Chiu for letting me use his car!
