HFFL Domain / Charity drive!

Posted on by

This campaign is a dual campaign. Every year, HaloFanForLife.com holds a charity fundraiser. This year, I’ve selected once again the Autism Society if Pittsburgh. The other smaller part of this campaign is to raise funds to renew the domain for my website above.

The fundraiser will work as such: funds raised up to $510 will be split evenly between the Charity and my domain fees. Anything over $510 raised will all go to the charity.

The hope is that we can raise even more than the goal amount. I do not charge anything to view my site. There is no secret area, you don’t have to be a subscriber, none of that. I feel as a fan myself, it’s tacky to charge other fans money. So I rely on donations alone.

If you’re a Halo fan, especially if you’ve visited my blog, I hope you will consider a donation. ANY amount is fine. For example, were we to receive just 50 cents from all the people that visit the bug in just ONE day of the year, this goal would easily be reached and then some. HFFL as it’s known in short gets about 3,500 unique hits a days.. That would be $1750 for this campaign.

Please consider a donation. With funds going to Autism Society of Pittsburgh, know that your kindness will be helping kids!

If you are unable to donate through GoFundMe, you can PayPal donations to [email protected]. If doing that, please send as a gift so that the full amount is received and no fees are taken out.

The fundraiser runs until September 30 at midnight going into October 1.

If you have ANY questions, please feel free to reply below or e-mail me at [email protected].

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please share with your friends and family.

  1. $510 a year, for domain and hosting is a hell of a lot. Are you sure your with the best value provider?

    • No no, it’s not $510 for me. It’s $255. The way the fundraiser works is when it gets to $510, everything raised after that point will be given to the charity. Half of the $510 goes the charity as well. I only need $255. This covers several different fees associated with the site. Continued registration, bandwidth, there’s a couple other things. I can’t recall, ATM.
      I had 1.16 visitors last year. So I have to be certain bandwidth is taken cared of. With Halo 5 Guardians coming, the daily visitors has gone up a bit and likely will continue to do so for some time. Again, I only need $255. The goal is stated as $1,255. This is so that I can raise an even $1,000 for the charity. That’s my goal. Would be great to exceed that.
      Right now though…not so sure though. Haven’t gotten one single donation yet. That is depressing. What’s worse is that with the numbers of visitors to my site, this goal could have easily been reached on the first day. Even if everyone gave just ONE CENT, that would raise more than $11K. I know not everyone will donate. That’s why I put the example of just one day’s worth of visitors (on average) donated 50 cents each. That would be $1750. More than asked for. It’s a bit hard for me to understand why this isn’t going smoothly. Not even one donation???
      It’s hard for me to think that my site isn’t even worth 50 cents to 3,500 (again the daily average visitors). If that amount of people donated just ONCE a year, domino fees would be taken cared of and the charity would get a nice bit of money too.

  2. That time of year again, eh? As before, I am willing to donate but I can’t. And I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t get any donations yet. I guess people just want things for free.

    • Yeah. It’s a real bummer, given how much I put into my blog. The number of visitors to it tell me that many people like coming to it. Honestly, I’m only asking for 50 cents per person from 3,000 people of the 1.16 million who came to my site last year.
      That shouldn’t be hard to get either. Heck if just 2 percent of folks who came to the site donated ONE penny… The b,go would be set for the year and there would be plenty to donate. Sigh.

  3. I would if i could sorry. Hope some money does come in. But please dont loose hope for this blog. Maybe make a video explaining the situation may help?
