Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 96

I could probably count them with just two hands. The others probably donated for fame and fortune.

Louis and Zack were prime examples of people out for recognition. They only donated out of the desire for acclaim. People like them would never donate to charity regularly.

"A grand total of 8,936 donors have participated in this event. Since there were too many of you, I'm afraid we couldn't present all of you with a certificate on stage. Therefore, most of you will receive a certificate in your emails as a form of encouragement."

"However, we will be presenting a special certificate of acknowledgment to 33 donors who have donated over one thousand dollars tonight! Then, may the party officially begin!"

The host was an expert in creating a lively atmosphere as a round of thunderous applause could be heard from the audience.

That was especially so for the 33 honored donors who would go on stage to receive their certificates.

An event like this would definitely be featured in the university's newspaper and the charity's official website.'

"We've got quite a few wealthy kids in our university. Didn't you see those luxury cars in our parking lot? How much did you donate?"

"I donated 5 dollars."

"I donated 2 dollars."

"I donated 800. If I knew we'd get a special certificate for donating over a thousand, I would've added another 200."
