donated $25 for Wear a Cowboy Hat, Cowboy Boots, Aviators and a Fake Beard everyday for a Full MonthI'd have found it more challenging for you, Blake, if you'd tried to compete with the NY Times Square cowboy but I suspect Philly is less liberal and generous with its public spaces. (But of course, you'd save on the cost of a costume and that money could go to the Start Up Corps!)
Good luck.

donated $5 for Wear a Cowboy Hat, Cowboy Boots, Aviators and a Fake Beard everyday for a Full MonthIqram, I am not sure if there is a "double dare" option, but once Blake is regaled in his western garb, we can find another charity to support as we vote on "physical challenges" for him to tackle.
For the record, I think the other team hasn't got a clue.

donated $25 for Wear a Cowboy Hat, Cowboy Boots, Aviators and a Fake Beard everyday for a Full MonthBlake I debated giving you Tuesdays off to schedule your meetings and anything that would have to be sans-beard. But then I thought, if you are going to launch a company, you should be the poster-boy 100% of the time. Even in meetings.
I love this site.
I will provide the get-up if this wins.

launched the fundraiser!
I'm the MyDunkTank Cowboy but my friends call me Blake. Founder of MyDunkTank, Philly Startup Leaders and Missioneurs.
Startup Corps brings real entrepreneurs into high schools to coach students on real businesses they are trying to start.
It's been a big success in the first year and we want to bring it to more schools in the fall. That's why we need your help (and donations).
I'll do whatever it takes to raise money for this amazing cause. I wish there had been a program like this when I was in high school!
