First time putting up a blog post! Not the most eloquent writer but felt like this could be a powerful message to share. I recently asked in one of my games if I had a charity game, which charity one would choose and the response that got the greatest support was the "Operation Underground Railroad" foundation. I realized I had actually seen the movie "The Abolitionists" a couple years ago!
From the website ourrescue.org
"SINCE BEING FOUNDED IN DECEMBER 2013,
we've gathered the world's experts in extraction operations and in anti-child trafficking efforts to bring an end to child slavery. O.U.R.'s Underground Jump Team consists of former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives that lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts. These operations are always in conjunction with law enforcement throughout the world.
Once victims are rescued, a comprehensive process involving justice for the perpetrators and recovery and rehabilitation for the survivors begins.
It is time for private citizens and organizations to rise up and help. It is our duty as a free and blessed people."
Here's a Link to the trailer for their movie. It's really powerful.
So why post this on Dietbet? I created a game to which 25% of the pot will be donated to this foundation. I chose 25% because I thought some people might be deterred if they didn't win any money back. Well with 25% of the pot being donated, you should just be donating your earnings AKA if you put in $20 to the game, and win, you will get around $20 back, with nothing over that. So you've lost weight, and donated your winnings to a GREAT cause.
The game starts on May 6th and is only a $10 buy in!
Just click on the link or search "charity game"
I will also be giving away O.U.R gear during weekly challenges!
