Donating

Hi folks,

So, over the course of the last five days or so we've received quite a few orders, both for the holidays and for Reddit's Secret Santa.

Reddit Gifts is the brain child of one of Soapier's staunchest supporters, Dan McComas. He's promoted our site, our product, our message for over a year. Not only is there a Reddit Secret Santa, but the community decided to make another gift giving holiday for Redditors called Arbitrary Gift Day. Dan promoted the hell out of us then, too.

So, this year, I would really like to give back.

Dan is trying to get some money for schools in Alameda, which have been closing left and right, not to mention budget cuts are cutting out school activities that you and I were lucky enough to enjoy when we were young.

Donating even $5 would be an enormous help to this cause. Soapier is already planning on donating a portion of sales we get this year to help out, but we thought we would shed some light on this particular opportunity.

We've done some good over the past year with various organizations. Dan's been so good to us, we can't stand by and not help him and his community in their time of need.

You can visit the donation page here. Dan and his wife don't make any money on the Reddit Gifts site. They do it out of the kindness of their hearts. It would really make a great Christmas for them if they made a significant amount of money this year for the Alameda school system. Reddit donated over $500,000 for DonorsChoose.org. I think Reddit can get $5,000 together to help out Alameda.

Thanks for reading.
