My Gas Fundraiser

On April 22, 2011, what I expected would happen became a reality.  Gas prices reached and exceeded $4.00 a gallon.  I sat down and calculated the number of miles I drive daily, weekly, and monthly.  Then I estimated the number of miles per gallon for my car, a very reliable Subaru Outback Wagon with 236,000+ miles.  From this I calculated the number of gallon of gas needed to get me through a week and then a month.  I estimated that at $4.00 a gallon, my monthly gas bill would be $360.00/month to $600.00/month.  That's $4,320.00 to $7,200.00 spent on work related driving.  This doesn't take into consideration weekend driving, vacations, etc.


With gas prices rising, this has led me to hold a personal fundraiser to raise money for a year's worth of gas.  But the great thing about this fundraiser is:

  • you won't have to reach into your purse or wallet to donate money,
  • it will help you save money with cash back rebates and 50% OFF or better deals on local and national deals, and
  • you might even make money through the compensation programs offered by the 4 programs when you share the programs described below with your family and friends.  

The four programs being used to raise money for my gas fundraiser are:

  • The Blastoff Network - a FREE cash rebate mall with a compensation plan paying a commission when I share the program with others and they save money.  Click HERE to watch a video about this program and start saving money at 550+ online retailers like Walmart, Target, Sears, etc.
  • The Moolala Network -  a FREE program like Groupon or Living Social offering 50% OFF or better deals at local business with a compensation plan paying a 2% commission when I share the program with others and they save money and a 5% commission when I introduce new local businesses to the program and they offer 50% OFF or better deals to the public.
