Less than 24 hours to donate & stretch goal surpassed
Thank you so much to each and every one of you who has donated in support of TX Votes over the last 30 days! We are blown away by your support and kindness. Thank you!
We are in our last 24 hours of fundraising, with the Hornraiser ending at 9 am tomorrow morning. If you know someone who has considered donating, but hasn't yet, please encourage them to do so before tomorrow morning.
Thanks to your support, we blew away our stretch goal of $7,476 this morning. Just wow! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We will make your proud next year as we work to recruit more members of TX Votes, to train more students as Volunteer Deputy Registrars, register more students to vote, and provide more nonpartisan information about voting and democracy throughout the school year.
TX Votes' #UT40for40 Success and New Stretch Goal
Wow! Just wow! In less than 40 hours, we raised and won a combined $5,423 thanks to your incredible support! We worked hard and won the following challenges for a total of $2,250 in prize money:
- Best Selfie by Benji Martinez with Hook 'Em
- Five States in the State Challenge
- Most Donations in One Hour
Since we've surpassed our fundraising goal, but still have nine days left to fundraise, we are announcing a stretch goal of $7,476 in honor of the day the Declaration of Independence was approved.
Thank you so much! We could not have done it without you!
You have helped raise 10% of our fundraising goal in less than 12 hours!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our Hornraiser so far! Because of people like you, we have already reached 10 percent of our fundraising goal (in less than 10 hours!!!). Please consider sharing our message with others you think love voting as much as we do. We are posting about the Hornraiser on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Thank you so much!
