and increase the impact we can make for nonprofits. These comments were made by 
co-founder Donald Eley. While it’s free to participate, fans who donate can choose
from a variety of rewards like concert tickets. In addition to merchandise, memorabilia
and vouchers; as a thank you.

### The Urgency Network Campaigns

Additionally, The Urgency Network provides top-performing campaigns an opportunity
to win a portion of _The Jackpot,_which is fueled by foundations and corporate sponsors.

#### Here’s the FYI on the Organizations and Associations

_Regarding the celebrity associations – Urgency Network partners with charities 
which have a global impact. That’s also like the Carbon War Room (which is supported
by Richard Branson) and GreenPeace (which is supported by Paul McCartney). _ _These
celebs have also agreed to provide an incredible experience as the grand prize for
a fundraising and awareness campaign for the charity which they support. _ The goal
was to raise as much money and awareness as possible. Essentially throughout the
duration of a campaign on the Urgency Network_. _
