WELCOME TO SCARE-A-THON 2014!!!!!
It's that time of year again. After a brief sabbatical, the Doc is back at it, watching as many scary movies as possible during the month of October to raise funds and awareness for a charitable cause. In the past, we've raised thousands of dollars for Season of Concern, AmeriCares, and The Friends of Children. However, this year, I'm trying an experiment: Rather selecting the beneficiary of our efforts, it's up to YOU to choose where your hard-earned dollars go.
Whether it's a high-profile entity (American Cancer Society, ALS), a local support house for women and children, a favorite arts organization, animal rescue, or your friend's Kickstarter, here's that oft-needed push to do something good for someone else with no ribbons or ice bucket videos required. Plus, you will also be raising awareness about your particular cause, as I will be posting links to the organizations' respective websites right here on the daily H101 blog posts and as well as on Facebook.
My usual donation suggestion is 10 cents ($0.10) per film, but you can go as high or low as you like. For the price of a jumbo pack of Halloween candy, you can make a huge difference in someone's life.

| Mmmmm, philanthropy tastes delicious... |
Three easy steps:
1) Choose your charity (or charities, if you're so inclined)
2) Decide how much you'd like to pledge per film (my plan is to watch 80-100 movies, so budget accordingly)
3) Share the Scare! (i.e. tell your friends)
Email me at drach101@gmail.com with 1) and 2) any time during October; at the end of the month, I'll let you know how many movies were watched, how much you personally raised, a list of all the charities, and the grand total amount.
That's it! Thanks for your time, everyone, and have a happy and safe Halloween!!!
