Default ExoMagic Charity Event Poll

ExoMagic Charity Event!

//DONATION SENT//
Great job guys! I have sent the donation!





Here at ExoMagic we have decided to do a little charity event! As you are aware, we are a site dedicated to magic. We figured since we are so dedicated to magic why not give back to the less fortunate?

Well, we've decided that we are going to donate $1.00 USD for each reply to this thread (try to limit yourself to 1 post in this thread). Even though our server payments are starting to run into the triple digits, we manage to scrounge up some money. Even though we are a bit behind on our finances, that is not our main concern.

I am going to run a poll for for the duration of this thread. I would like user input on which organization we should donate to, so PLEASE don't hesitate to give your input and make some posts ; )

POLL CAN BE FOUND AT:
Code:
http://exomagic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3670
NOTE: Do not spam this thread. If you are unsure of what to say, just say "I support this".

Organizations to choose from

The Society of American Magicians

Code:

Exciting Developments At the very core of a magicians craft and trade there is imagination and mystery, and from these brilliant seeds there stems a thousand wonders!



A New Center for Magic
It is in this spirit that the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.), the oldest and most prestigious magic organization in the world, has formed the S.A.M. Magic Center Foundation, with the mission of creating a national headquarters for the Society.



The Vision
This facility will include the best museum of magic in the world, a magnificent research library, performing arts theatre, gifts and insignia store, and the headquarters of the S.A.M. .

Welcome

To experience the unbelievable is to enter the world of imagination. To be the one doing the impossible, however, is to experience true magic.

For the past 26 years, the College of Magic based in Cape Town, South Africa has been sharing this experience with thousands of students - providing magical arts training to aspirant magicians and entertainers the world over.

As the only institution of its kind in the world, the College of Magic now invites you to enter our world of mystery and illusion - and discover for yourself the true wonder of MAGIC !

History

The College of Magic, the brainchild of current director, David Gore, opened its doors on February 23, 1980 providing desperately needed performance arts training for aspirant entertainers from all sections of the community. Starting with a group of just 34 young entertainers, the College has over 26 years mushroomed into the only magical arts training organisation of its kind in the world.

Formally constituted as an Association Not For Gain in January 1985, the College's own Magical Arts Centre was officially opened by the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology in 1995.

This vibrant extra-mural performing arts training centre now serves as a home for more than 150 students, a meeting place for various cultural groups, a destination for school tours, a research and resource centre and as headquarters for our global distance learning initiative.

Well, this entire site is about helping people learn magic. I suppose if you didn't have cancer, it would be easier to learn and perform magic, but this is a direct way of serving the magic community. And that's what they're trying to do; give back to the community for all the help it's given us.

Oh, yeah, I support this.

Donate to College of Magic is better than The Society of American Magicians.

I support this for "College Of Magic". It seems more appropriate for a charity event!

Great idea Exo... Another first for forums that I've been on!
