    • Total Pledged: $261! Yay!

    Pledge Levels:

    Newspaper Level: $2 — Donating just two dollars keeps the ball rolling and prompts me to write a limerick on your behalf. Who doesn’t love limericks?
    Magazine Level: $5 — Pledging $5 gets you the limerick written on a postcard of my choosing and snail mailed to you. Because who doesn’t love getting mail?
    Paperback Level: $10 — Those sponsors pledging $10 or more get a free verse poem ON DEMAND on a topic, word or line prompt of your choosing (within reason, please, let’s keep it PG-13). Poetry on DemandTM … poetry, demand, what’s not to love?
    Danielle Steel Level: $20 — Pledging at the $20 level can request a poem ON DEMAND, and will also receive that poem made into a mini chapbook that will be mailed to you. (I will post an example photo of this soon.) Poetry! Mail! Mini! More to love!
    Hardback Level: $24 — Pledge a dollar an hour and get a limerick or poem, printed into a mailed mini-chapbook as well as a special commemorative bookmark. Oh yes, keep your place while pitching in for literacy. It’s like a warm-fuzzy that stays with you all! day! LONG!
    Collector’s Edition Level: $50 — If you’ve got fifty bucks to show your support for this effort and for ProLiteracy Worldwide, I’ve got all of the above to thank you for your generosity. Plus, I’ll send you a book from my special giveaway bookshelf.
    Best-Seller List Level: $100 — If you’re all about the benjamins, well, we sure appreciate that! Sponsors at the $100 level will receive the poem, mini-book, bookmark, a book from my special giveaway bookshelf and a glass momento from my workshop. It’s like Christmas all over again, only better!

    But it’s not really about the goodies or me, it’s about having fun, promoting a good cause and raising awareness and support in all forms.

    I feel good about completing my goal and raising some funds for ProLiteracy Worldwide. I’ve learned a lot along the way and found some new resources and I hope that a few of you have as well. Here is listing of posts I made during the past 24 hours regarding the mission of ProLiteracy Worldwide and why this issue is important:
