John Legend, RYOT and the Burkle Global Impact Initiative are teaming up to launch the #OperationGirl Charity Challenge, a fundraising campaign for charities focused on women and girls.
Everything launches on Wednesday, July 9th at 12:00pm ET and runs through Monday, August 18th at 11:59:59am ET.
- The team that raises the most during the Challenge wins a $50,000 donation
- Second place gets $20,000
- Third gets $10,000
And, there will be weekly Bonus Challenges for charities to win up to another $20,000.
The best part of the Challenge is that even if you don't win any of the grand prize money, you get to keep the money you raise during the campaign. So, so great.
Be sure to check this grey box thing regularly to see how your charity team is doing in the current Bonus Challenge and to see if you won it all. And if you have questions about your standings or anything else in the world, please Email Us and we'll solve all.

Throughout the Challenge, our partner, RYOT, will be giving away prizes to feature your organization on their home page and through their social media. Pretty awesome.
Here’s how it works…
• Raise $5000, Get RYOT to Tweet about your cause and if you raise that $5k during the first four weeks of the Challenge, they'll tweet about you during the Challenge.
• Raise $25,000, Get to be the Cause of the Week on RYOT. That's homepage placement with your logo for a full 7 days plus a custom Cause Page
• Raise $50,000, Get RYOT to write and publish an awesome article about your charity, and blast it out on social media to their 350,000+ followers.
* CrowdRise or RYOT will be in touch with you after the Challenge to deliver your prizes. Except for the tweet. You could win that one during the Challenge and you should for sure try to win it.
