It’s time once again to help The Melon see another great year. The costs of The Melon are very limited, our writers offer their own free time and craft their amazing articles/content out of their passion for doing so. But, like all things, there are some costs to maintaining our space and making sure it is meeting out needs, which is why in this drive we’re hoping to meet our goal of $1000 to update The Melon infrastructure and pay for our maintenance costs. We need your help to keep The Melon fresh. As a Melon Supporter, you’ll be added to our supporters list for FIVE WHOLE YEARS. FIVE! What’s more, is we’ll mention you from time to time as a Supporter who makes our content possible. Imagine your logo or name in one of our videos. Yeah, pretty cool.

While we here at The Melon value our content and contributors greatly, and hope you enjoy what we are able to do for the community, we realize there are those with way more need than us. This is why we’ve decided to donate HALF of the total donations received to the Friends of the Orphans Haiti Earthquake Relief fund in honor of Molly Hightower, a native Tacoman who passed in the recent Haiti Earthquake while working to aid children in need. Read more about her here.

Even if we don’t reach our $1000 goal we will still donate half of it to this fund. So please, for The Melon and for those who really need it, help two great programs strive forward and continue making a difference.
