Like the rock band Europe sang, "It's the final countdown." Photo source . The final countdown has begun. We are now in the last week of the Art Van Charity Challenge and there’s one bonus challenge left. Since the Challenge began four weeks ago we’ve raised over $9,100 but we still have work to do to make it into the top ten and win the Art Van grant. Of course all the money we raise will directly help fund Angela Hospice’s compassionate grief support services for children and adults. The final bonus challenge will run until 1:59 p.m. on June 22, which is also when the Challenge ends. Every charity that raises at least $100 this week will be entered for a chance to win $1,000. Every charity that raises at least $400 will be entered for a chance to win $4,000. So your donation can translate into a big prize for Angela Hospice! This is the last week to donate to our CrowdRise page, so please click here, and also share this link with your friends and family: ...

Be sure to tell all your friends and family about the Art Van Charity Challenge! There are only two weeks left of the Art Van Charity Challenge. During the last three weeks of the Challenge we’ve raised over $7,800 thanks to supportive donors becoming fundraisers, sharing our CrowdRise page, and donating money to our cause. Through your generosity more people will be able to receive Angela Hospice’s compassionate grief support services to help them through a difficult time.   And that’s really what this is all about. As we’ve posted before, each week has a unique bonus challenge. Read below for details about this week’s challenge. The fourth bonus challenge will   run until June 16 at 11:59 a.m. The charity that gets the highest number of donations from unique donors this week will receive $4,000. (So donations as small as $10 can make a big difference!) The next five runner-ups will each get a $1,000 Art Van Furniture gift card. So if you know anyone tha...

Bon Jovi's excited, are you? From Flickr Like Bon Jovi sang, “Woah, we’re half way there.” Can you believe we’re already entering the third week of the Art Van Charity Challenge? We sure can’t. In just two weeks we’ve already raised over $5,000, which is a little over a third of our $15,000 goal. Last week we mentioned that this challenge is unique in a few different ways, one of the biggest being that each week has a different weekly bonus challenge. This week’s challenge runs until 11:59 a.m. on June 9. Every charity that gets at least five donations this week will be entered for a chance to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. The winner will get $3,000 to support their charity. So please keep sharing our CrowdRise page with all your friends and family, donating online, and becoming fundraisers. Here’s the link: https://www.crowdrise.com/ahhc-artvan2015 Also, if we do get chosen to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, which do you think we should choose? If you’re ...

There will be a new bonus challenge each week. Today we are heading into the second week of the Art Van Charity Challenge! For those that don’t know this challenge is a five-week online fundraising competition where we are one of 124 charities competing to get into the top ten. Each of the top ten will receive bonus grants from Art Van, ranging from $7,500 to $75,000. Bonus: all of this money will go directly to help support our compassionate bereavement services, which are provided free-of-charge to all those in need. One of the many unique aspects of this challenge is that each week will have a weekly bonus challenge. Last week, each charity that raised at least $250 was entered for a chance to win $3,500. The second bonus challenge starts today at 2 p.m. and will run until next Tuesday, June 2, at 11:59 a.m. This week’s challenge is to raise the most money in that time period. The charity that does will receive $4,000. It’s that simple. So please donate, become a fun...
