We all like to text. On any given day, millions
of text messages are sent and received in the US. But, on October
23rd 2008 you have the chance to send a text message to combat
cancer; a chance to send a text that could save a life. By sending a
text message with keyword text4cure
to short code (COMING SOON), you can pre-register
to donate between $5 to $10 to fund cancer research programs. We
will then send you a text message on the 23rd of October.
Simply reply to the text message and you will instantly donate money
for cancer research. The donation will show up as an item on your cell phone bill.
Why October 23rd you ask?
Well, it was on October 23rd when the founder of
text 4 the cure, Brian Teague,
found out that his best friend had contracted a rare form of cancer
called GIST. As one of the founders of
Pocketstop,
Brian figured out a way to use his technology and experience in
Mobile Marketing to benefit those plagued by the disease.
The statistics are clear. One
in every three people in the United States will contract some form
of cancer in their lives. Help us find the cure by donating on the
23rd of October. Together, we can make a difference. This year's goal is
100,000
text message donations. This will raise between $500,000 to $1,000,000 to fund cancer
research programs. Text 2 Donate!!!
