3 Bucks For Brendan

Brendan Baker is trying to do the impossible.
Why? Because he wants social change.
Who knows maybe he'll be the next David Suzuki and all you have to do is donate some spare change.

http://www.3bucksforbrendan.com/

What Brendan has to say: 

"I'm asking for 3 dollars from 30,000 people to do an MBA at Oxford in social entrepreneurship. The challenge is funding this. MBAs are priced for bankers. They're not priced for people who want to use business tools to promote social change. 

To help, please do any of the following:

1) Go to www.3bucksforbrendan.com, click 'donate' and share $3 (or what you feel comfortable with).

2) Spread the word, to friends, family, generous companies, and interested media contacts. 

This is a ridiculous plan. But that's exactly why it might work. And if it does, then it will allow me to gain invaluable tools to help make my world a better place. 

Thanks for helping,
Brendan"
