Water Night Raises $138k for Water School

0

Water Night was held last night during NamesCon, and according to an email from organizers, the event raised $138,000 in pledges to the non-profit Water School. This amount raised was based on pledges of $46,000 from Water Night attendees and a generous match from Namecheap and NamesCon.

Specifically, here’s what the email said about the fundraising effort:

Between pledges at the door, and pledges made specifically for the WaterShave inside, over $46k was committed to by you, the NamesCon attendees! With dollar for dollar matching by BOTH namecheap and NamesCon, that transforms into over $138,000 in donations raised by the industry for clean water projects. The WaterSchool charity will be following up with everyone over the coming weeks and we trust everyone will be quick to follow through knowing that every dollar collected becomes $3 to charity!

NamesCon is a big sponsor of The Water School, “a global non-profit organization with a mission to provide simple, safe, strategic, and sustainable clean water and sanitation solutions to the developing world.” In fact, many people that are in the domain investment business have been supporters of this 501(c)3 charity for a number of years.

Water Night is a NamesCon party that raises funds for The Water School. Water Night will be held tonight (Monday, January 12) from 9pm – 1am at the Havana Club in the Tropicana Hotel. There is no additional cost for NamesCon registrants to attend the party.

According to the event website, “WaterNight continues in 2015 with donations being matched by both NameCheap and NamesCon. This means that a total of $3 for every $1 raised from the crowd at WaterNight goes to fund clean water projects!” Conference organizers are hoping to raise $75,000 for The Water School from this event.

Domain Sales Q&A With Jeff Gabriel

The two most common  requests I receive are for brokerage services and for domain sales help. For the first type of request, I typically suggest that people have a look at a list of domain brokers I compiled. For the second, I usually say “sorry, I can’t help you” or refer them to an article I wrote on my blog about the specific topic.

If you are attending NamesCon in a couple of weeks and you have questions about selling domain names, there is a session that you won’t want to miss. Jeff Gabriel, Vice President of Sales at Domain Name Sales, will be speaking on a panel called “Eliminating Roadblocks to selling YOUR domains.” The format of this panel is a question and answer session where attendees can ask Jeff questions about selling domain names, and he will share his advice with people in the audience.

Here’s the description of the panel session:
