13 days left to fund The Global Citizen Project – lots of great rewards!
Hello!
I’m in the throes of raising $20,000 to fund a volunteer project I conceived and planned – The Global Citizen Project. I’ve traveled around the globe in the capacity of a professional journalist and have been profoundly impacted by the communities most underserved. It is my plan to swap my BlackBerry for a backpack and promote 12 selected causes and communities, as well as responsible travel via my platform as a journalist.
If funded by February 22, 2010, TGCP will allow me to serve 12 different community causes in 12 countries over 12 months, including helping to revive tourism efforts and help with long-term economic recovery in Haiti.
The Global Citizen Project has raised more than $10,000 so far, but only has 13 days remaining to reach its $20,000 funding goal or else the project will not happen and I will not receive a cent. Donations start at $1 and there are several tokens of gratitude being offered for different levels of pledges, including:
• ANY pledge: Free beer (coupon) at Watch City Brewing Company in Waltham, MA
• $10 pledge: One free burrito, burrito bowl, salad or order of tacos at Chipotle (Valid in WA and OR only)
• $25 pledge: Theo Bread and Dark Chocolate Bar
• $40 pledge: Moroccanoil Travel Kit & large hairbrush
• $40 pledge: Elvis Cirque du Soleil Program Book
• $50 pledge: The Seattle TourSaver 2-for-1 coupon book
• $50 pledge: Half-pound of coffee from Lighthouse Roasters
• $60 pledge: Spa robes
• $100 pledge: 12 postcards from the 12 volunteer destinations
• $100 pledge: One night stay at Ace Seattle
• $100 pledge: Complete line of Kyoku for Men, luxury Japanese grooming line
• $125 pledge: One night stay at Hotel Vintage Park, a Kimpton boutique property in Seattle
• $150 pledge: One night stay at Tulalip Resort Casino + $25 food credit, Marysville, WA (about 30 miles north of Seattle)
• $300 pledge: Two night stay at The Woodmark Hotel Yacht Club & Spa in Kirkland, WA
• $750 pledge: Two night, all-inclusive stay at Hacienda Tres Rios Hacienda Tres Rios Resort, Spa & Nature Park, Riviera Maya, México
• $1000 pledge: Three-night stay at The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort on Waikiki Beach in Oahu
• $1500 pledge: Sponsor one month and pick one of my 12 volunteer projects
Time is of the essence as I near the final stretch for fundraising, and I would be greatly appreciative if you’d consider making a pledge. Every little bit helps and you can even pledge less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
I haven’t made it this far without tremendous amounts of collaborative kindness and support and thank you in advance for any love you can show to The Global Citizen Project.
With many thanks and gratitude,
Charyn Pfeuffer

“Through my correspondence with Charyn and the media coverage I’ve seen, the goal of her Global Citizen Project is more widespread, macroscopic, and holistic. She means to highlight challenges and opportunities around the globe, as well as a sample of the efforts some organizations are taking to respond to these opportunities.”
