Look What I have

Today I received my raffle prize from Market Leverage. They had a raffle to coincide with the Bowl-A-Thon that they had to raise money for the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund. I won a Fip Mino HD. It is pictured there with the Flip Mino HD that I bought recently and added my own branding to it. Allison is now the proud owner of a Market Leverage Branded Flip Mino HD. Look for it at IZEAFest 2009.

Since I don’t live in Orlando I was unable to be there in person so I decided to do my own little bowl-a-thon of my own. I did it playing Wii bowling. I had two great games too with scores of 181 and 191. People could sponsor me at $0.10 a pin (and yes Stephen that is how you sponsor a Bowl-A-Thon pins = points for sponsors). I’m not sure if anyone actually did but I hope so. I bought 10 raffle tickets and sponsored Tim Jones at the true Bowl-A-Thon.

I also sent down some Photo-A-Day Calendars and a couple of BenSpark.Com Hats. The hats went to Dina Riccobono and she had the hats for a little while. She gave up the hats so that one of the participants could take one of them home. However, she took a picture wearing one of them.

Today I also received a card from the Stults family. That was really nice of them. All the thanks is not necessary I’m just so happy to help people who need help.

If you’d like to help a cause you can check out Be Responsible: Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II. We are raising money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer with the team Walking 4 2nd Base. The event is at the Speed of Thought Playhouse.

Wii Bowl-A-Thon
Photo-A-Day #1453

Tonight I did my Virtual Bowl-A-Thon on the Wii. I bowled two games in an effort to raise money for the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund. Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage encouraged me to do this since I could not make it to the event that they held down in Florida. So, I was there in spirit. I did pretty well too. You can watch the recorded video from Stickcam, which shows the games as they are played.

I also created a video after and during the bowling.

It was fun, I wish that there were people in the chat room that I could talk to between each frame or each game but that is okay. What I really hope is that people will sponsor me at $0.10 a pin per game. I bowled a 181 in Game 1 and a 191 in Game 2. It must have been something about bowling for charity because that was the best I’d bowled in a long time and I even made (Pro) in Wii Bowling after Game 1. So if you’d like to donate $18.10 for Game one or $19.10 for Game two or even $37.20 for the whole night then please go directly to The Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund Donation page. (You could round things up 🙂 I won’t tell 🙂 )

The other part of this was that I sent down some hats and some calendars to give as door prizes to the people who participated. I even sponsored Tim Jones on Team Affiliate Summit. I hope that he did well. His team came in second overall so that is great to hear.

Here are a couple more of the photos I took using the intervalometer while I bowled.

I can’t believe how trim I look in this shot, camera angles I guess.
