MIR-y Christmas Everybody!

Posted via email from MIR Live

We didn’t just beat our £1500 target, we shot past it.  In total Mobile Industry Review readers have donated £2059.96 to NSPCC Childline and the UN Foundation in a mix of £, € and $ – this is equivalent to keeping a Childline workers taking calls from children desperate for help for over 100 hours. Yesterday saw an absolute flood of donations.

We’ll be drawing names for the prize winners later today and e-mailing winners directly – watch out for next week’s show to see some of the action.

Thanks to all the donors and to the excellent firms who supported us by donating prizes including:

• Vodafone’s Live Guy campaign
• Skype
• Jabra
• Supertooth
• Spinvox
• Connection Software

So far we’ve had a fantastic £1400 donated – we need £100 more donated today to make our target!

Thankyou to all today’s donors for your generosity – with your help we’re nearly there. See this post for details of the prizes and special – today only – bonus we’re offering.  If you haven’t donated you have until the end of the day (your time) to donate to be included in the prize draw.

Can you be the person who gets us to our target of £1500 raised in six weeks for two excellent charities?

The awsome people from Vodafone’s ‘Find Live Guy‘ campaign have added another prize to the excellent pot for Mobile Industry Review’s ‘Christmas Presents’ campaign in aid of NSPCC Childline and the UN Foundation.  It’s the Dell Inspiron Mini Netbook plus three months free Vodafone broadband.  Ewan’s had one on a Vodafone contract for some time and loves it.  So click here to donate to these two great causes and get a chance to win this or any of the other great prizes!

If you haven’t already you should definitely also check out Vodafone’s ‘Find Live Guy‘ site – it’s a fantastic interactive game.  Live Guy is in London tomorrow and by following the site, his twitters, You Tube videos and Picassa photos you can work out the places he visits during the day and ‘track him down’ (in person or online) you can win a Vodafone Dell Mini Inspiron Netbook like the one we have for our draw (Two chances to win?  We’re spoiling you!).  He’s been all round the country giving out his net-booky goodness this month and tomorrow (28th) is his last day so don’t miss out! The previous clues have been pretty cryptic!

If you’re in London (All Bar One, New Oxford St) for Mobile Geeks of London tonight be warned that I will be there collecting donations for our MIR Christmas Presents campaign supporting Childline and the UN Foundation.  As a special treat I also have a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of champagne which we’ll be giving away in a mini-draw during the evening.

If you can’t make it tonight, take a look here to join in online.

Mobile Geeks of London information from Lord James of Whatleydude here.

I’ve just come back to my desk to find £100 has been donated so-far today… That’s enough funding for an NSPCC ChildLine worker to answer calls for 5 hours, so children in desperate need can get the help and confidential advice they want from a friendly counselor.

Wow!

…and all of those people have been entered into the draw to win a fantastic great pile of free stuff too.  So it’s win-win (as we say in consultants’ school).

If you haven’t, please do donate now.  Quite a few people are just e-mailing me at ben.smith@mobileindustryreview.com to sort out their donation for them and to help with payments in Euros and company donations.  How easy is that?
