Following the success of the online fundraising appeal of the Atheist Bus Campaign,
it is now possible to create your own message-on-the-side-of-a-bus using the free
[bus slogan generator](http://www.ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus).

Here’s my first effort:

and one from [Graham Richards](http://freelancefundraisers.dreamhosters.com/?p=230)
promoting legacy fundraising:

I’ve got two more related to fundraising that I’m hoping to add, once I’ve got permission.
Meanwhile, I reckon there are some good ones just bubbling away in your imagination.

 

 

 

Add them here!

 

 

 

1. Create your fundraising-related bus message at

 

 

 

http://www.ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/

 

 

 

2. Then upload it to Flickr.com, or a similar photo sharing site.

 

 

 

3. Then ’embed’ it into a comment below this post. The photo-sharing site you use
should have a ‘share this’ option, one of which will be to provide you with the 
HTML code to cut and paste into a webpage.

 

 

 

Let’s see what you can do.

I couldn’t resist this one, as Richard Dawkins, who funded the recent Humanist Campaign,
met his wife at a party hosted by Douglas Adams.

Years ago I worked with the producer of the radio show, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to
the Galaxy, and he told me that after the first episode, Douglas Adams wrote subsequent
episodes as they were being recorded. Clever feller.

I wonder if Goldman Sachs had a peek at my “controversial” bus ad recently? According
to a story in Professional Fundraising it’s looking at making a $1bn donation to
off-set criticism of a record year for bonuses.

HSBC Chief, Michael Geoghegan, is expected to accept a near £4m bonus but then donate
it to charity. Education Africa, whom Mr Geoghegan and his wife have a long association
with, is expected to be a major beneficiary.
