For the month of March & April 2011 TheGivingExperiment raised $91.84 for the month of March and $317.44 for the month of April! With the terrible spring storms and floods causing so much damage across the nation, TheGivingExperiment felt it necessary to step outside of the box with March and April's donation. A unique opportunity presented itself to not only help those affected by the storms but to also help a friend with a budding business. Christopher Martin is a purple heart decorated Iraq war veteran who upon returning from serving his country decided to start a general contracting business. Moved by the images of the damage, Chris wanted to use his services to help make people whole again by fixing up homes in tornado stricken Alabama. So he bought a truck and put together a team of workers to make the trip from Tampa to Alabama. In order to make this happen he needed to raise $10,000.00 to get his team in position. TheGivingExperiment loaned March and April's money to Christopher Martin! When the loan is repaid, March's money will be given to The Salvation Army and April's money will be donated to the Memphis chapter of the American Red Cross.
For the month of February 2011 TheGivingExperiment raised $75.78! February's donation will go to the Memphis Child Advocacy Center.
For the month of January 2011 TheGivingExperiment raised $59.25! January's business sponsor is 3 Angel Diner Restuarant in Midtown Memphis. They decided to give January's money to the Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation!
For the month of December 2010 TheGivingExperiment raised $36.76! December's business sponsor is El Toro Loco Mexican Restuarant. They have chosen for the money to be donated to LeBonheur Children's Hospital. El Toro Loco Mexican Restuarant in my opinion has THE BEST Mexican Food in Memphis! I don't give food recommendations lightly and would guess that I have eaten there at least 50 times over the last year! I highly recommend their Sopa De Pollo (Chicken Soup). They have 2 locations in Memphis.
