60% of the Way There

Four days in and Jim Mullen's Kickstarter project to expand his apple sauce business has over $16,000 raised out of $25,000 needed.

Monday is our big day for visits and eyeballs and there's no promotional exam on everyone's mind, so let's get to it.

CLICK HERE to make a donation. They take anything over a dollar, so give what you can.

We've gotten a few e-mails that people are sharing this on various social media sites and Channel 2 did a post on their website. We don't know if it hit the airwaves or not.

Rather than using your credit card- is there some address that a check could be sent?

I'm in! Dropped a few bucks and checked out kickstarter... looks like he can accumulate more than his project cost estimates... let's get Jim set up good.

I'm a citizen who reads the site and I happen to be in public relations. Happy to send a link to all the media I know.

Girlfriend spotted some on the shelf at a Jewel in the NW burbs. She picked it up and now it's going down the hatch as I type this. Best apple sauce I've ever had- no contest.

Logging in with Facebook is an OPTION, to make logging in easier for you.

You aren't REQUIRED to use Facebook.

A message from Jim:
"THANK YOU! This has been an incredible journey so far. I was hoping for a successful campaign for sure but had no idea that we'd be this far along so soon. A big thank you goes out to all that have pledged, shared my story and checked my project out. Please continue to share this with your friends if you think they would be interested in what I am up to. "

At $20,000.00!!! Whoop, whoop!

Thank you to everyone...Police and Police Supporters who have helped Jim and Family! If you weren't able to assist financially and still bumped or shared...you helped tremendously!! You are the best!! What a team!!

He is getting close to his goal!! $23,000.00!!

Reminder ----
He is being charged a 5% ($1,250.00) fee for using kickstarter as a fundraising site so,
any amount over his goal will help him pay the fee and hopefully then he can retain his $25,000 that he needs
So...please continue to care and share!! .

Yes, because I always think to ask the President when I need to raise some seed money for a project.

Your idea to reach out to Bill O'Reilly is fine and you should do it. But, good God, man, everything in this world isn't about your hatred of the President.

Well...we did it, Team!

Reached the $25,000.00 goal AND covered
the 5% kickstarter fee!!

Thank you SCC for your back-up!
Thank you to everyone who pushed on social media home pages and group pages!
Thank you to the Police Supporters!

Anyone still interested in assisting, Jim and Athena,
can do so, up until 01 Dec.

Bill O'Reilly pitch sent on Monday. They don't turn on a dime on segments like this, but keep your fingers crossed.
