Update: January 14, 2015 *the badge mission is over but the work and contribution continue.... Thanks for Caring, Giving and Inspiring in Support of Doctors Without Borders / Medicins Sans Fronti...
Update: July 1, 2014
Many people have already received their 'I Care' and 'I Gave' badges - which is great because it shows how thoughtful and passionate this community is about doing something great together. But have you signed up to be an inspiration?
The ‘I Inspire’ badge is earned when 3 other people each make a donation to MSF via our community fundraiser page. To make sure you get ‘credit’ for this, your friends and family should put your SCN UserName in the ‘Comments’ section of the donation page.
Last year, perhaps the most famous Challenge came from clint.vosloo who volunteered to do 5 burpees for every dollar donated on his behalf. And he made good on his promise, the proof is out there on Youtube for everyone to enjoy. I believe Clint raised $150.00 for MSF, but the sport of watching his 'burpee' videos was priceless.
So if you’re wondering how to participate even more, let me try to give you some concrete steps.

alessandr0 | I made a donation already and looking for more support. Beside that I have two sponsored childs in the Philippines and my mum got a sponsorship as a birthday present this year. It's far from an usual birthday present, but she was super surprised (the positive way) and finds the idea awesome. She already got some letters from her godchild and (as everyone knows women like to chat) she let's everyone know and is always looking forward to the next letter. It doesn't matter how you help, it's more important that you do. | myself | ||||

macgyvercz | For each cent anybody sent on my behalf I will ride 1km on a bike, do 1 push-up, do 1 sit-up and do 1 squat. For example 1$ means 100 of each. Read more on my personal blog My personal challenge for 2015 |
I hope you will join me in this Community Challenge.
Together we can be some of the 'helpers' that the world so desperately needs.
Most importantly, besides the FUN of participating in this challenge, is the fact that together the members of SAP Community Network and their loved ones will know that they have donated to an organization which provides desperately needed medical care. MSF provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters, and... For all that the medical staff and volunteers at MSF do, we should be truly grateful.
I think it’s going to be fascinating to read peoples’ #SAPCC blogs, and learn their motivation behind their individual challenges. I’m really hoping that you do too. (Remember to tag your blog with #sapcc - that's part of marilyn.pratt's challenge!)
