OOTP Online League helps to raise funds for charity

Hey guys,
so I'm in the Pioneers of the Diamond, an online fictional league running OOTPX.
Three of the league's stars have entered a partnership with Catalytic Communities, a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that runs projects in Rio de Janeiro.
The non-profit is giving away 2 free airplane tickets to Rio de Janeiro and a free stay as well to one donor who gives at least $10. The draw is on sunday, August 1st, and the winner will get to pick the dates (within sept-nov and apr-may) and will get to fly to Rio from wherever they are in the world.
So we're using some of the POTD's stars to help promote this fundraising drive. Check out the article about it HERE.

I run the Washington Monuments team in the POTD and, in my spare time, I work for Catalytic Communities, the non-profit in question, which is running projects through which we train leaders of squatter communities in Rio de Janeiro and leaders of social projects and other non-profit organizations on how they can use technology and New Media to further their goals and share their knowledge and in the knowledge of others around the world.
We are also developing a collective blog to be contributed to by community leaders of Rio, and an English-language mirror where we relay the top posts from the first one in a language that most of the world can understand. We also serve as a source for visiting academics and officials from all over the world to reach community leaders and vice versa, as we maintain a wide network of people who work in the social development of Rio de Janeiro, and we try to provide interpreters for the interactions between them.

Just to clarify, although the POTD and the players I mention here are fictional, the organization and the free airplane tickets are quite real.

Please take a moment to assess your ability to give $10 and have a chance to win a free vacation in Brazil.
Check out Catalytic Communities at Untitled Document and check out info about our projects.
Also check out RioOnWatch.org community reporting on Rio, our English-language collective blog written by members of our network of community and project leaders.
Also check out the POTD league's home page, at Pioneers of the Diamond
Also check for vacancies in the POTD League here: General Managers

And while you're at it, why not weigh in and let me know what you think about this effort?

Thanks!

Remember, give $10 by Sunday, August 1st and you have a chance to win a trip to Rio.
