<p>I am the woman in this story. No gimmick - the beginning of the 93 Dollar Club was completely unintentional, although there was an amazing amount of serendipity and generosity. Should you be curious to follow our efforts to hit our $200K goal (we have raise over $115K for Second Harvest of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to date), see our Facebook Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/93dollarclub" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/93dollarclub</a></p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>FYI, the CEO of Second Harvest is a woman, so not the Lexus driver. : )<br />

These people usually are not in the lowest income level, they are still able to afford food, but because of a serious or long-term sick child which make the whole family suffer to serious financial problems. </p>Goner commented on '$93 Turned into $100k'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20133f4f21799970b2010-10-09T09:39:43Z2010-10-09T09:39:43ZGonerGreat story -- I golf at the same country club as the CEO of Second Harvest -- this explains where...<p>Great story -- I golf at the same country club as the CEO of Second Harvest -- this explains where he got that new Lexus!</p>EXS commented on '$93 Turned into $100k'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e201348810e51f970c2010-10-09T04:00:29Z2010-10-09T04:00:29ZEXSHunger, education/literacy, or environment charities.

(I give to Doctors Without Borders, American Red Cross for disaster relief, and organizations important to friends, eg mentoring for girls, HIV/AIDS, and tutoring/writing workshops.)

Count me in, I enjoy reading your blog and the comments from your readers. So this would be a way for me to send a small thank you. Pick a charity or non profit and I'll contribute in FMF name. </p>FMF commented on '$93 Turned into $100k'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20134880e5431970c2010-10-08T15:43:44Z2010-10-08T15:43:44ZFMFhttp://www.freemoneyfinance.comMC -- Giving is a regular topic covered here, as is generosity, and most people give, uh, money...<p>MC --</p>

<p>I think you should do it FMF. Pick a charity that means a lot to you and set something up. I bet you could get a lot of people to join you. Or, you could make it a charity that changes based on the needs in the community you are aware of. (Say it is a freezing cold winter, make it go to heat for the impoverished, that kind of thing.)</p>
<p>Now you have got me thinking!</p>Sanctimonia commented on '$93 Turned into $100k'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20133f4edb370970b2010-10-08T12:29:14Z2010-10-08T12:29:14ZSanctimoniahttp://www.nosweatfinance.comI love ideas like this as well.

Since we're in the midst of a housing crisis, somewhat, how about focusing on housing charities such as Habitat for Humanity? I've worked for them for quite awhile and even built a few houses down in the Gulf region. I've been there when the families get their houses and man is it emotional. Knowing that you helped provide a place for their family to live is amazing. </p>
<p>As for how to do it, that's something to work on. I'm not sure how we could track it to see how much was actually donated from your campaign/club. Perhaps a link on your site? A challenge with another site to see who can raise X amount of dollars first? Just brainstorming here.</p>
<p>I love the idea and count me in!</p>
