This really rubs me the wrong way.
I'm donating to a charity through givebutter.com, and after I indicated that I wanted to make a one-time $180 donation, it popped up this prompt.
This boils down to, "If you agree to donate twice as much money as you said you wanted to, it'll have twice the impact!" which is tautological, but presented in a way which IMO is a dark pattern.
This is gross.

Very excited! We held a silent auction at today’s #CrownOfHorns book launch. Between that and the proceeds from books sold so far, we’ve raised $500 for the Aid for Artists project!
The project provides funding to artists in #ukraine so they can continue to create and help culture thrive, even through war.

Well, I'm committed now.
Signed up to "Run for a Reason" in the Houston Marathon in January 2026. I'm raising money for the Houston Food Bank because I've seen their impact after natural disasters AND because of inflation, the need for food for the poorest in the area is more apparent than ever.
I miss volunteering & donating myself, but life changes & a tight budget haven't allowed it the past few years. Running for charity is something I CAN do, & my first marathon at that. I hope to do well enough that I can keep it up every year.
This commitment is two-fold: I'm going to train hard for the next 240 days (a helluva challenge for me), but also to raise the funds to cover the entry fee by November & the rest in January.
They created a fundraising page for me to ensure your donation gets to the right place fast & counts toward the goal. Any little bit helps, even spreading the word:

ROCK FOR RONNIE Concert in the Park May 18 at Autry Museum in Griffith Park
Both VIP Seating Area and General Admission tickets are on sale now for this year’s ROCK FOR RONNIE Concert in the Park, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org), on Sunday afternoon, May 18, 2025, 11AM to 6PM, on the South Lawn adjacent to the Autry Museum of the West in Griffith Park. The annual ROCK FOR RONNIE, an afternoon of live rock music, silent and live auctions, food trucks and fun geared to the entire family, celebrates the memory of the late singer who succumbed to gastric cancer in 2010. Entrepreneur, author and producer Ahmet Zappa will host the event.
Headlining this year’s ROCK FOR RONNIE will be actor and heavy metal singer Sebastian Bach and his band. Joining this year’s All-Stars Band jam will be local favorites Led Zepagain for a special appearance, along with, among others, John Bush (Armored Saint), Chris Kael (Five Finger Death Punch), Dug Pinnick (Kings X), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Dio), Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy), Robbie Crane (Warrant), Ira Black (Dio Disciples, Vio-Lence), Phil Demmel (Kerry King, Category 7), Tommy London (Sirius XM), Brit Lightning (Vixen), Julia Lage (Vixen), Jeremy Colson (Steve Vai, Billy Idol), Doug Aldrich (Dead Daisies, Dio), Keith Nelson (BuckCherry), Mike Mangin (The Cult), Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big) and Mandy Lion. Also on the bill will be Dio Disciples; southern rock band Jason Charles Miller; hard rock band Kill Devil Hill; Las Vegas-based Count’s 77, whose frontman Danny Coker is the star of the Counting Cars TV show on the History Channel; and local band Anita Squeeze.
General Admission tickets for $65 and a limited number of VIP seating tickets remain for $125 are now on sale. For information, visit: www.diocancerfund.org/events
The new location for the event at the park adjacent to the Autry Museum offers a beautiful setting for an afternoon of exciting live music and fun for the whole family. There is ample free parking available nearby.
ROCK FOR RONNIE’s marquee sponsor this year are Motӧrhead Whiskey and White Hag Beer. Additional sponsors already include Archie’s Ice Cream, Liquid Death, Marquis Beverages, Celsius, HOP WTR, Total Wine and More, Smart & Final, In ‘N Out Burger, Street Food Cinema (www.streetfoodcinema.com), Adam Parsons Entertainment, The Ivy, Mates, Chipster PR, BMG, DW Drums, Valley Relics Museum, Christine Moore Realty, Skateboard Marketing, Cleopatra Records and Bill McBride Wealth Management.
There will be ample additional opportunities to support to the Dio Cancer Fund at the ROCK FOR RONNIE via a silent auction and raffle, beverage, food and merchandise sales, artist meet and greets, a specially-created Garden of Hope and, of course, direct contributions on site. A silent auction with many exciting items available to bid on throughout the afternoon, while live auctions, featuring one-of-a-kind rock collectibles, will be held from the stage between artist performances. Beer, wine, sodas and water will be available for sale, as well as food from various participating food trucks, plus assorted vendor booths selling unusual crafts and other items.
The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org) was founded in memory of the legendary singer, who lost his life to gastric cancer in 2010. A privately funded 501(c)(3) public charity, the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has already raised over $2 million since its inception. Monies raised have been committed to the cancer research work of the T. J. Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS and Leukemia Research, the gastric cancer research unit of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where Ronnie was treated for gastric cancer during the last six months of his life, and other cancer research projects. Since 2016, the Dio Cancer Fund has committed funds to support the research of Dr. David Wong and his team at the UCLA School of Dentistry in developing a simple, non-invasive saliva test for the early detection of cancer.
100% of the net proceeds from the ROCK FOR RONNIE will go to the Dio Cancer Fund, which is now in its 15th year of raising awareness and much-needed funding for cancer prevention, education and research for a cure. The organization also hosts the annual Bowl for Ronnie Celebrity Bowling Party, this year on Thursday,
November 13.
Ronnie James Dio is the subject of an acclaimed documentary film, DIO: DREAMERS NEVER DIE, which is currently streaming and available on DVD and Blu-Ray+4K.

Bill Gates: "Well, he’s the one who cut the U.S.A.I.D. budget. He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn’t go to a party that weekend. ...the world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children."

One very bad news for us. We managed to bring the electricity to the cottage. Now it needs to be distributed with cables throughout the house. Remove the old installations and put in new ones. Something has already started. But the biggest problem is that we don't have water in the well.
