This is a great potential fundraiser site for yourself or your local non-profit. Say, a HS band/team/church wants to raise cash? Sign up to receive advert texts (must be 13yo) from 5¢ to $1 each. Every $25 raised, you get a check cut for yourself! You can donate the cash to your organization, OR to your own bank!! This is AWESOME if you have an unlimited texting plan, and great even if you don't! Use KGTC for your invite code!

Some "O Ambassador" projects include: * Building a package of school supplies for a classroom in need * Planting a tree on school grounds * Creating "AIDS Awareness" posters * Organizing "Read-A-Thons" * Collecting old blankets and sleeping bags for local homeless shelters
