Press Release Body: Mosaicappeals.com, the easy and efficient way to donate and
raise money for charity using a custom-made virtual mosaic.

The \"mosaic appeal\" is a revamp of the proven fund-raising technique of dividing
your appeal into manageable sums of money. It is rather like selling bricks to build
a hospital - except that it is done entirely on the web. It is an effective way for
you to raise additional funds for your charity, organisation, club or society, or
personal campaign.

Mosaicappeals.com involves no capital expenditure or financial risk and aside from
the work in setting it up, it doesn\'t burden you with an enormous workload.

It was just one year ago that Stephen Roose-Jones, the dynamic fund-raiser for St
Mark\'s Hospital Foundation asked The Bubblegate Company to come up with a
fundraising scheme that could involve ordinary people and which would not involve
much more of the fund-raiser\'s time.

Bubblegate\'s idea was for a mosaic appeal which was, in effect, a plan to sell each
of the tiles of a large mosaic of the winged lion which was on an outside wall of
the hospital in Harrow. A feature of Bubblegate\'s plan was that instead of selling
the actual tiles, they would sell a representation of them on the world wide web, so
making it accessible to almost everybody, and giving donors some recognition for
their contribution by allowing them to leave a message or dedication.

The mosaic appeal was launched on 24 April 2007 at an event where donors bid up the
£1,800 for the first tile. After the initial burst, the fund-raising slowed down,
but as more people get to hear of the appeal, its popularity is growing. This
month\'s funds raised by the appeal passed the £50,000 mark to which they have added
Gift Aid, and donations from their main sponsor Yakult.

Since then, Bubblegate have taken the mosaic appeal concept and built an automated
web based platform that allows charities and organisations to sign themselves up and
create their own mosaic appeal within a matter of minutes.

Mosaicappeals.com is the latest and exciting way to raise funds for any
organisations or charities without any financial risk. We use our automated software
to create a mosaic from that image and build it into a web page, from which you can
sell the tiles. Because the mosaicappeals.com uses the power of the web, you are
able to greatly increase the number of your potential donors, and you will be able
to raise funds without taking on an additional administrative burden.
