Rock concert to raise funds for renal patients
The Life Cycle organisation, which raises funds for renal patients, especially through its showcase annual long-distance cyclist event, is this year organising a rock concert to raise more funds for these patients, reports the Malta Independent Waily Website.
People can help this worthy cause by visiting the website www.lifecyclechallenge.com, or by sending a blank SMS to one of three short codes: to 5061-8073 for a Maltese Lira 2 ($5.66) donation, 5081-8915 for a Maltese Lira 3 ($8.50) donation and 5961-9208 for a Maltese Lira 5 ($14) donation.
In all of the stories I've run into on fund raising by SMS, this is the first time I've read of an event which gives three options to donate by text messaging. Clever! and painless as it comes right off the donators phone bill.
