In just two days - this Saturday, September 24th at 5:00 p.m. - Team Blue Jersey is going to take a walk with a bunch of our friends to raise money for marriage equality. There's still time to join us!

We're taking part in Equality Walk 2011 - Garden State Equality's low-dollar per person fundraiser that allows everyone to participate - there's no required minimum amount for you to raise. And, the beauty of this grassroots approach is that small contributions really add up. Take Team Blue Jersey for example - we set a modest goal of raising $500, and quickly surpassed it. Then we bumped it to $750, and passed it. Then $1,000, ... check.

In fact, thanks to the efforts of Blue Jersey readers and friends, we're closing in on being one of GSE's Top 5 Fundraising teams for the event! So now, we need your help to get to Team Blue Jersey's new goal of reaching $1,500 for Garden State Equality's 2011 Equality Walk by the time the walk kicks off Saturday at 5pm. So we've got 48 Hours left. Let's do it!

And even if you can't join us on Saturday, you can help by joining our team and raising money, or by just contributing directly to Team Blue Jersey. Thank you all, and hope to see you Saturday! :)
