It’s Christmas eve, and well, I’m one lucky sonofagun. I realize this, every single day. So today I’ve got the opportunity to give away an ipod Nano, courtesy of MarketLeverage.
I’ve decided to NOT give it you, sorry. I’m going to give it to the Cleveland Rainbow Babies & Children’s hospital.

That’s Chelsea Osoling of ML, my pub manager. Thanks Chelsea!
But hold on, I am giving you something else. How about 1-hour of my time? ($500 value) For those of you who don’t know me, I’m an Web veteran business coach and small business consultant. I’ve worked with small businesses and brands, and large ones like Fedex, Sherwin Williams and Ernst & Young. I can help you too.
I’ll be happy to spend an hour on the phone with you talking to you about your brand or business. I can give you ideas or strategy or tips or guidance or inspiration, or whatever. Bottom line, I will be able to help you somehow during our call.
How to enter?
All you need to do is leave a comment below, with a link to the local children’s hospital in your metro area. Include region/state and link. C’mon, it’s easy to find, just Google it.
For example: Cleveland, OH – Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. www.uhhospitals.org/rainbowchildren
The point? Maybe somebody who’s reading this blog will see a link to the hospital near them and can help them in some way. Have a great holiday, and remember how lucky you are. I do every day.

Thanks for everything that helps people in analyzing the things better. It could be more than enough information that you had with a neat representation.
Commenting not because I want to enter, but to say that you're cause is great and very smart. You're using this site as host for (unknowing) hospitals that might be in need of a good donation. Kudos! We are all so blessed in many simple ways, let's share this and give before receiving (even if it's not Christmas).
Merry christmas to you and you family.
Thanks for sharing.
