The moment we've all been waiting for - MaryAnn's Cartwheels

So this whole Pledges for Cartwheels campaign all started with a double dare. I dared MaryAnn to do a cartwheel in centerfield during halftime at Megan's soccer game tonight, and initially she wasn't going to do it. But, when I offered her $25 to do it, she quickly took the bait. A nearby spectator, Kim, had her camera handy and caught it all on film (see above). The crowd went wild during MaryAnn's performance, so she thought she might be willing to do it again next week if anyone else offered her $. Brandon and I decided to turn it into an official fund raiser, and three hours later, here we are.

MaryAnn and Greg will be sharing halftime duty, but only if pledges are enough to convince them to get out there again. They have some tricks up their sleeve, and may even wear costumes if weekly goals are met. Here's the game plan - to make it possible for everyone to participate, even if you can only donate a couple of bucks, we've created a two-tier deal. If either goal is met, cartwheels will be performed.

Week #1 Goal (June 11 - June 16)
Number of contributors: 10
Number of $ to date: $200

Week #2 Goal (June 17 - June 24)
Number of contributors: 15
Number of $ to date: $500

Week #3 Goal (June 25 - July 1)
Number of contributors: 20
Number of $ to date: $1000

Week #4 Goal (July 2 - July 7)
Number of contributors: 25
Number of $ to date: $1400

Week #5 Goal (July 8 - July 14)
Number of contributors: 30
Number of $ to date: $1800

Week #6 Goal (July 15 - July 22)
Number of contributors: 35
Number of $ to date: $2200

Week #7 Goal (July 23 - July 31)
Number of contributors: 40
Number of $ to date: $2500

Remember, if they reach their goal of $2500 by July 31, a YouTube video will be published. Let's help them make this happen! Also, as a friendly reminder, we're laughing with MaryAnn and Greg (not at them).
