Every hour one lucky ROCstar (donor) will be randomly chosen to give an extra $500 bonus to the charity of their choice. 24 chances to win!

Plus...Rochester Area Community Foundation we'll be checking every two hours to see what registered organizations has the most ROCstar donors during that time period. The organizations with the most unique donors during each two-hour period will get an extra $1000 bonus, and there are 12 up for the grabs! (Agencies can only win this bonus once.)

Can we pick an hour so we can all donate in that hour?  Not to be a cheater or do anything wrong.  I wait for this to donate because of all the bonus money available !  Hope it is good this year.

I see no reason why we can't try to coordinate the 2 hour time period to try and take advantage of the bonus.  But the most important thing is to give.

Sorry - a blank reply was just posted. I think if we can get the same two hour period to post a donation, it would be great!   I plan on contributing, and if there is a time period that may allow for more funds for falconcam, we need to work that!

The early morning time periods would be best because fewer people in general will be donating to other charities.

More than one 2-hour time period can be targeted if everyone makes a donation during each time period. Just make the donations smaller. For instance, make a $5 donation at 1 AM and another at 3 AM instead of a single $10 donation at 1 AM. Or three time periods can be covered by making $3 donations at 1, 3, and 5 AM. Of course, getting up 3 times in the middle of the night would be a pain.

We have to remember that this year we are competing with all the non-profits (hundreds of organizations) for the incentives.  Last year we were only competing with the non-profits in the environmental group (less than 50 organizations).  I'm game to give it a try.  I will also be looking for any Roc the Day parties to attend.  Maybe I can get additional donations at them.

ROC the Day is a week away!

OK, so what's the best strategy here?

OK, so what's the best strategy here?

The best strategy is to chose a time when it is least active.  Probably in the early morning hours like midnight to 2 a.m. on 12/12/12 or 2 to 4 a.m. on 12/12/12. 

I would expect that the normal business hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. will be very busy.  It will probably remain busy until 9 that night at least.  Last year some of the local bars had ROC the Day parties. 

ALSO, like last year, every hour they will chose a donor as the ROC star of the hour and donate $500 to their charity. 
Lots of things to consider.  Since I am not working, I will be monitoring the site and updating the donation amounts routinely during the 24 hour periond.

for those of us who don't want to get up in the middle of the night.  how about picking another hour such as 10-12pm or 6-8am.
