MyDunkTank is bringing the FUN back to FUNdraising. MyDunkTank makes fundraising more fun and lighthearted by making it into a dare. MyDunkTank is a humorous twist on non-profit fundraising. It allows you to do a fundraising dare in support of whatever cause you choose.
It works like this: You go to the MyDunkTank website and name the charity you want to raise money for and how much money you want to raise, then make a short list of dares that you’re willing to do. Tell your friends, family and colleagues about it, and they’ll each vote with donations on which dare they’d like to see you do.
Recent dares include a guy named Nicolas Warren who promises to "juggle flaming nunchucks at a Boston startup event to the tune of the song 'Philly State of Mind'" for the National MS Society and Jameson Detweiler will run the Rocky steps wearing only sneakers, a diaper and boxing gloves for a full hour on a Saturday afternoon. After the dare is completed, photographic evidence is posted to the mydunktank website.
This is about having fun, and no one has to do a dare that makes them uncomfortable. Daretakers have the option of choosing their dares or letting their friends suggest new dares. Daretakers can always edit or remove dares for any reason. You agree to perform the dare that gets the most votes. Donations from all votes are sent to your cause, even for dares that do not win. You share photos and videos of their dare performance on your fundraising page.
MyDunkTank was launched in June by Philadelphia entrepreneurs Blake Jennelle and Chap Ambrose. The site charges a 9 percent fee for the service, which goes to cover website costs and plans for a future expansion.
What a fun, clever way to raise money for those causes that you care about! How about it? You brave enough? Remember, b ehind every great cause is a person willing to dance the macarena.
