Same Dress

Most people didn't know who Sheena Matheiken was. Her passion is in getting children in the slums into the school in India. To help raise awareness and money for the Akansha Foundation， she pledged to wear the same dress every day for a full year.

At first， the project did not gain much attention. However， each day， Sheena Matheiken photographed herself in the outfit. Through the clever use of accessories and folding， she prepared a different look each day. The creative combinations and blog posts soon thrust her into the public eye and raised a media storm. The one outfit that she wore each day was none other than the little black dress. In fact， she originally called her project Little Black Dress for 365 Days， according to the Uniform Project.com. However， it soon became known as the Uniform Project when she exceeded her goal of $100，000 and then opened it up to other women who wanted to join her. Joining is simple. All you have to do is pledge to wear one little black dress for 365 days and donate the savings to underprivileged1） children in the slums.

同一條裙子

絕大多數(shù)人以前都不知道希娜·馬思肯這個人。她致力于讓印度貧民窟里的孩子們進學堂。為了幫助“阿坎莎基金會”提高知名度并募集資金，她承諾在一整年內(nèi)每天都穿同一條裙子。

起初，這一計劃并沒有獲得多少關注。不過，每一天，希娜·馬思肯都把自己穿同一條裙子的裝扮拍下來。通過巧妙地使用配飾和折疊方法，她每天都把自己打扮得不一樣。這些創(chuàng)意的組合和博客帖子很快就把她推進公眾的視野，還掀起了一場媒體風暴。她每天所穿的那件衣服無非就是一條小黑裙。按照“同服項目”網(wǎng)站的說法，其實她最初就管這個計劃叫“小黑裙的365天”。然而當她募集到的資金超過了目標十萬美元并把這個計劃向其他想要加入的女性開放時，這一計劃很快就以“同服項目”一名而變得為大家熟知。參與計劃很簡單，你所需要做的就是承諾在365天里穿同一件小黑裙，并把省下的錢捐獻給貧民窟里無法上學的孩子們。

Stunt Driving Librarian

According to World of Difference.com， Sue Harding was not born with a thirst for adventure. However， she hated the stereotype that librarians were boring just as much as she cared for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service. She frequently thought about ways to combat the image of the boring librarian. She then came up with the idea to destroy the stereotype by involving herself in a stunt driving course. In the process she raised funds. According to The Times， people could come out and watch. All proceeds2） were to be donated to the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service.

When the big day came， she had far exceeded her initial goals and her stunt driving skills turned out to be quite impressive for a librarian. Not only did it smash the stereotype but it also raised money for the ambulance service. It is still considered one of the more unusual ways for raising money for an ambulance， but according to their official website， they were just glad that Sue Harding didn't have to use their service.

表演特技駕駛的圖書管理員

根據(jù)“不同的世界”網(wǎng)站所述，休·哈丁并不是天生就渴望冒險。然而，她厭惡人們認為圖書管理員無趣這一成見，一如她喜歡沃里克郡和北安普敦郡空中救護服務隊。她經(jīng)常思考打破無趣的圖書管理員這一形象的方法，然后就想到了通過讓自己學習特技駕駛來消除人們的成見。在學習的過程中她就募集到了資金。據(jù)《泰晤士報》報道，人們可以出來觀看她的表演。所有的收入都將捐給沃里克郡和北安普敦郡空中救護服務隊。

最終表演的日子到來的時候，募集到的資金已經(jīng)遠遠超出了她最初的目標。而且，就一名圖書管理員來說，她的特技駕駛技能結果也著實令人欽佩。這不僅粉碎了人們的成見，而且為救護服務隊募集到了資金。就為救護服務募集資金而言，這仍然被認為是比較與眾不同的方式之一。不過按照該救護服務隊官網(wǎng)的說法，他們實在很高興休·哈丁不需要使用他們的服務。

The Ron Swanson Mustache

Few mustaches have become quite so iconic as the Ron Swanson mustache. Famous for his character， Ron Swanson， in Parks and Recreation， actor Nick Offerman came up with an idea to support pediatric3） cancer efforts. He offered to shave off his mustache， put it back together， mount4） it， and present it to the winning bidder. The proceeds would then go entirely to the charity Because of Ezra.com.

The sale itself was private. However， the mustache was successfully removed， reassembled， glued， and then mounted behind glass. To ensure that it had the proper shape， the mustache was reassembled against a mold of Nick Offerman's face.

榮恩·斯沃森的胡子

很少有誰的胡子能變得像榮恩·斯沃森的小胡子那么出名。演員尼克·奧弗曼因在《公園與游憩》中飾演榮恩·斯沃森而出名，他想出了一個資助兒科癌癥工作的點子。他提議剃掉自己的胡子，然后整理成原樣并固定好送給中標者。所募集的善款全部交給慈善團體Because of Ezra.com。

拍賣本身并沒有公開。不過，榮恩·斯沃森的胡子被成功地剃掉、重新整理好、粘合后固定好放入了玻璃罩中。為了確保胡子保持本身的形狀，重新整合的工作是在尼克·奧弗曼的臉部模具上完成的。

Skydiving for the Blind

Most men in their 70s look for tamer ways to raise money for their favorite charities. However， Larry Ekstrom decided that the best way to celebrate his 70th birthday and raise money for Leader Dogs for the Blind was to sky dive 70 times on his birthday. According to the Huffington Post， this is not the first time he has done a feat5） like this. On his 60th birthday， he jumped 60 times to raise money for multiple sclerosis6） research as his wife suffers from it.

為失明者跳傘

絕大多數(shù)70多歲的人會尋求更為安全些的方式為自己喜歡的慈善機構募捐。然而，拉里·埃克斯特龍認定慶祝自己70歲生日并為導盲犬訓練學校募集資金最好的方式就是在生日那天跳傘70次。據(jù)《赫芬頓郵報》報道，拉里做這類的壯舉已經(jīng)不是第一次了。在他60歲生日的時候，他曾跳傘60次為多發(fā)性硬化癥研究募捐，因為他的妻子患有這種疾病。

盡管他并未透露具體數(shù)目，但他成功地募集到了一大筆善款。

Stop Bieber

There are two types of people in this world： those who love Justin Bieber and those who can't stand him. However， even those who love Justin Bieber sometimes tire of listening to his music non-stop. And even hardcore fans sometimes have certain songs that they absolutely hate. According to Oddee.com， one of those songs is \"Baby\".

The Evanston Township High School of Illinois wanted to raise cash to redecorate a cafe and art center. When they ran into walls at other fundraisers， they decided that the best solution was to play the Justin Bieber song Baby over the loud speakers. Over the top of this， the students would urge their fellow students to contribute. They needed to raise $1，000 to achieve the goal. Reaching the goal was the only way to make the song stop. The school actually gave them one week to raise this money. However， they reached and exceeded the goal within three days， according to Sun Times. The song played approximately 20 times before just about everyone in the school caved7）. Even the teachers and the workers donated to stop the \"Baby\" song， according to CBS.

阻止賈斯汀

在這個世界上有兩種人：那些喜歡賈斯汀·比伯的人和那些無法忍受他的人。然而，即使是那些喜歡賈斯汀·比伯的人有時候也會對接連不斷地聽他的歌感到厭煩，并且即使是鐵桿粉絲有時也會對他的某些歌十分討厭。據(jù)Oddee.com介紹，《寶貝》就是這些歌中的一首。

伊利諾伊州的埃文斯頓鎮(zhèn)中學想要募集現(xiàn)金來重新裝潢一個咖啡館兼藝術中心。當其他各種資金籌集活動都碰壁之后，他們決定最好的辦法就是在揚聲器上播放賈斯汀·比伯的《寶貝》這首歌。比這更離譜的是，學生們將會力勸其他同學捐款。他們需要募集1000美元才能達到目標，而達到這一目標是使這首歌停下來的唯一方法。學校事實上給了他們一周時限來募集這筆錢。不過，據(jù)《芝加哥太陽報》報道，他們只用了三天就達到并超越了這個目標。那首歌播放了大約20遍，校園里幾乎每個人都要崩潰了。哥倫比亞廣播公司報道說，甚至教師和工人都捐了款好讓他們停止播放《寶貝》這首歌。
