Please check out this link for ROC the Day for the Rochester Falconcam!

http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam (http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam)

Your $5 donation could = $500.

Every hour, one ROCstar that just donated in that hour will be randomly selected by the United Way to receive an ADDITIONAL $500 added to your gift for the not-for-profit of your choice!

So a $5 donation could bring in big bucks for rfalconcam.

Remember on Thursday December 8 go to

http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam (http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam)

and give what you can.  You could be our ROCstar!

 :bguitar:

Can donations be made with credit cards?

I have no clue! Maybe since not many have Paypal!

Yes.

Payments for ROC the Day can be any major credit or debit card or through a PayPal account.

YAY!! Thanks Lisa! Hope you do well!

Less than 30 minutes until ROC the Day starts!

rfalconcam has a chance to win $5,000, here's how:


Rochester Area Community Foundation will award a $5,000 prize to local nonprofits in each of these four categories that attract the most "unique" donors (based on billing address) during ROC the DAY:
•   Arts & Culture
•   Community Benefit and Economic Development
•   Environment
•   Human Services

Rfalconcam is registered in the Environment category.  So if rfalconcam has the highest number of unique donors then the Rochester Area Community Foundation will give us $5,000.  The Environment category has under 50 not-for-profits agencies, compare that to the Human Services which has over 300 agencies and the other categories both have over 100 agencies competing for the $5,000.

Being a unique donor means multiple gifts from one donor with one billing address to one organization can be counted only once.  So this is not about how much one gives or how many times, but how many different people give to rfalconcam. 

I know that the rfalconcam community is unique.  It is consist of many wonderful people.  Now its time for us to show Rochester how unique we are.   If everyone that watches the cameras gave just $5 we could win $5,000!

Again that link is
http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam (http://www.roctheday.org/agency/rfalconcam)

As of 9:00 a.m. we have raised just under $100.  How much can we raise by noon?  Check back for hourly updates.

Special thanks to Lisa!   :bravo:

30 minutes before ROC the Day started I posted about the chance to win $5,000.  I ended that post with this line: 

"I know that the rfalconcam community is unique.  It is consist of many wonderful people.  Now its time for us to show Rochester how unique we are."

Well we certainly did show them.  :wow:  :notworthy:

Thank you to everyone who ROC'd the Day.  Not only did you ROC the Day but you also roc'd the week, the month, and the year.  Thank you!!! :thanks2:

Lisa McK

There is Power in Numbers, which is why I always try to donate to my favorites during fund-raising efforts because of matching dollars, bonus amounts, etc.

A question on FB asked if these dollars were shared with GVAS - I am assuming "no"???  because we donated to rfalconcam???

Rfalconcam and its parent, GVAS, were registered separately for ROC the Day. However, the number of unique donors for both were combined in calculating the total. Therefor, the $5000 will be split between the two. The amount of money each gets will be in proportion to the number of donors each had. We haven't received the list of donors yet so we don't know the exact ratio, but based on the amount of money received by Rfalconcam and GVAS, it should be heavily in favor of Rfalconcam. (80-90%)

Thanks Shaky for the clarification.

There was something on the online donation form when I sent mine, that offered choices for ?excess or ?overages... Alternatives anyway.  GVAS was one of the options, and I chose it.
Do we have a final tally of what  :logo: had donated?

What was the final split between Rfalconcam and GVAS?

I haven't heard anything yet.

Happy Valentine's Day, ROCstar
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You're a pretty cool ROCstar,
And we <3 you, too.
 
We're pretty smitten with you, so we thought Valentine's Day was a good time to check in with a quick ROC the Day update!
 
Thank you, again, for ROCing the Day in 2011. Heads-up that the organization(s) you donated to might contact you with thank you notes and other love letters unless you requested during the December event to remain "anonymous".
 
We'll be ROCing the Day again in 2012 and wanted you to be the first to know. Save the date for ROC the Day 12.12.12! You can go to www.ROCtheDay.org (http://www.ROCtheDay.org) to sign up for an email reminder.

Wonderful news!  Something for all of us to remember when making our annual giving plans -- Remember this and other organizations that offer either matching funds or bonus dollar options.  Put you dollars aside for those specific days.  Your donation goes so much further.
