Here's how it works:
- Choose an Israeli charity from our list.
- Donate money via the Web.
- Email me (elderchallenge -at- gmail.com) with some sort of proof that you donated - a screen capture of the receipt with your credit card number edited out, or something similar that indicates how much you gave
- I will contact the donor, he will match it, and confirm to me that it is matched.
- I reply back to you with confirmation and update the total amount donated on the sidebar.
The new goal is to reach a total of $2000 by August 11.
The charities are:
| PizzaIDF | Delivers great food and morale to the brave soldiers defending their land. |
| Friends of IDF | Provides equipment and morale-boosting for the soldiers. |
| Zaka | World famous organization that offers first response service to terror attacks. |
| Yad Sarah | Bringing medical equipment to the northern communities that are under attack. |
| Magen Dovid Adom | The Israeli Red Cross. |
| JNF Operation Security Blanket | Sends kids from the North to summer camps in central Israel for a few days at a time |
| One Family Fund | Directly helps victims of terror and their families. |
(If one of your favorites is not on this list, let me know and we can consider adding more.)
Also, if you want to be a sponsor to keep the challenge going, please contact me at the same email address: elderchallenge -at- gmail.com.
