Help HSM Help Rotary Club of Grand Cayman with Chickstarter
HSM is supporting a charity campaign called Chickstarter. Chickstarter is a satirical business incubator raising money for six Cayman charities.
This campaign (or rather game) has been created by Massive Media Ltd. and is running from 21 November 2024 until 8 December 2024.
There is no cost to participate whatsoever.
HSM has sponsored Rotary Club of Grand Cayman’s rooster, Ralph McFeatherbutt. You can read all about him here and see his striking photo below.
How can you help? Create your free account on https://www.chickstarter.ky/.
You will automatically receive 10,000 chickcoin. Playfully using chickens, each charity has a unique rooster in which the public can donate chickcoin to and ultimately the chickcoin decides how much real money each charity will receive.
Also, at the end of the campaign, 10 users will be drawn at random to win a month’s supply of local farm produce from Cayman’s very own Farmer Clarence.
Help us raise money for the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman and have fun playing.
