Buck-a-Hit Day gets a bump
Another reader has generously stepped forward to offer to match readers' contributions tomorrow, when this blog embarks on its seventh annual Buck-a-Hit Day. My benefactors and I will give $1 to the Oregon Food Bank for the first 5,000 hits on this blog (that is, unique visits as counted by SiteMeter) tomorrow. And now we have a matching fund of $2,650, to match contributions that readers make to any of our designated charities via this site tomorrow. With another $250 that I'll contribute to a charity selected by our comment contest winner, our goal for the day is up to $10,550.
That's a lot to tackle, but first things first. Just come back to this site tomorrow and you'll be shaking a dollar loose for a good cause.

Here's a non-profit fundraiser approach I haven't seen before -- auctioning off the name of a character in a book:

Yikes! What if the character turns out to be odious?
