Bloggers for Joplin Update

Last month, Sippy Cup Mom announced that she would be accepting June advertisers with the proceeds going to help the town of Joplin, Missouri.
She was blown away when over 40 bloggers contacted her because we wanted to do the same thing.
Together, Bloggers for Joplin was created.
We spread the word and got amazing advertisers on board, along with a couple of generous donations.
I have met amazing people during this that have became friends and I am so proud that we all came together to help.

We were able to donate an initial $1,348 to the Heart of Missouri United Way.


The Heart of Missouri United Way is working with no overhead to provide 100% of donations to help Joplin, Missouri.
After that initial donation, we still had donations rolling in from generous advertisers.

We were able to donate an additional $130 for a total of $1,478!


You can check out the not-very-exciting video of Sippy Cup Mom making the initial donation via Paypal.
All additional donations were made by Paypal also.
A HUGE thank you to the blogs that participated in this event:


THANK YOU to all of the advertisers who are participating! We have over 52 advertisers with MANY advertising on several blogs!

Please make sure to check out these bloggers and advertisers! Without them, it never could have happened!

Please remember to keep the town of Joplin, Missouri in your thoughts! I am still accepting ads for space on my blog. Contact me if you are interested.
