'tis the season (for giving)

Tonight I was fortunate to attend an event to celebrate the first birthday of SeeYourImpact, a non-profit organization based in Seattle. SeeYourImpact was co-founded by Scott Oki and Digvijay Chauhan to enable people to give to charitable organizations worldwide and see the impact of their gifts.

Reflecting on my own good fortune (good health, great family and friends, awesome shoes, and all the delicious food I could ever imagine — especially this past Thanksgiving!), I would like to start off this holiday season with a fundraiser to coordinate giving to those in need. Although there are many great causes and tremendous needs throughout the world, I've decided to focus my first campaign on hunger prevention.

While you're planning the menu or selecting the restaurant for your next gathering with friends and family, I hope you'll take a few minutes to give to this fundraiser. So many people across the world are struggling to put in their family’s mouths each day — whether due to extreme poverty or widespread drought and famine — and a contribution of any kind will make a difference.

Please visit my fundraising page to begin giving. Donate the cost of your next pair of shoes, your morning coffee, or whatever amount you can give. 100% of your gift will go to the lives you change, and you will receive an update in about two weeks allowing you to to see the impact of your donation.

Join me in preventing hunger this season.

Help spread the word to increase our impact on preventing hunger across the world. 

Thanks for your support!
