Report of Patient Donations & Expenses: MCWPA Fundraising
(Posted by Muffin on behalf of MCWPA Fundraising Team Leader, Karen Ravitz. Note the Facebook Causes site makes our fundraising efforts transparent to all).
We are pleased to announce that we have received enough donations to issue a press release through a newswire announcing the next BIG biological finding in a published ME/CFS study.
I hope you joined us in contacting your local news media with the MCWPA press release announcing the XMRV macaques study.
Id like to take this opportunity to give you an informal accounting of where we stand concerning patient donations and expenses:
Donations (including Cafepress royalties) $14,923
Expenses (Ad, press release, website and other minor expenses) $11,505
Balance to be used for future actions $3,418
Based on the January member survey, our next goals include producing a Public Service Announcement (PSA), offering seed money to organizations to run a print ad in local newspapers. Other actions you voted for that have little or no cost will be coming soon: Doctors Need to Know, informing local physicians of the latest XMRV research; and sending letters to patient organizations that have also been linked to XMRV.
Thank you for your continued support. The MCWPA Team
