We’re all off to eat turkey and too much wine.
Before we go, here’s wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous
New Year.
Thanks for using Justgiving this year. See you all
again in 2006!

Happy Christmas!

JDRF + JG = :-D
Here’s another one I had to let you all know about. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
have recently joined the JG community and we’re extremely pleased to be working
with them.
What’s even better is they already have 8 fundraising pages
after being live for only a few days! Trevor Chanter’s London Marathon
page is currently leading the pack with donations and we’re certain that
JDRF’s fundraisers will use Justgiving to fantastic effect.
If you’d
like to build a fundraising page for JDRF then click here
or you
can make a donation here
And in other news Molly has been ravaged by bedbugs, so
if anyone with a bug-free bed in the Putney vicinity can help out then do drop
her an email at molly@justgiving.com
Apparently her bites are ‘itchy’.
Justgiving USA becomes Firstgiving
Great excitement over the pond today as
our sister company in the States undergoes a makeover and becomes Firstgiving.
It’s still Justgiving USA in all but name, but with a
brand new super snazzy site and logo. Doesn’t it look
smart!
Big
hello to our friends in the Firstgiving
office in Boston, MA – Mark, Thos, Maggie, Kurt, Beth, James and Laurel. If
you are a US-registered charity, or want to raise money for one, pay them a
visit here.

December’s Fundraiser of the Month
Our Fundraiser of the Month for December is Matt Roles. Not only is Matt
shaving off his beard for charity, he’s persuaded a whole bunch of his friends
to grow beards so they can shave theirs off too!
Check out Matt’s page for a rogues
gallery of the stubbly chins getting ready for the fund-razor (boom, tish).
They’re aiming to raise £1,200 for Oxfam and they’re very nearly
there!
If you’ve got a suggestion for the next Fundraiser
of the Month, please let us know by leaving a comment here.
