Hello everyone and welcome to a very special edition of the Diz Unplugged, our Marathon Show for 2021 or redo of our Marathon Show for 2021.

Coming to you live from the Bob Barley studio in Orlando, Florida. I'm your host Pete Warner.

Join at the table this week by my good friends, Danny Sundley. Hi there.

To Re-Sackles. Good morning.

Kathy Whirling. Hi everybody.

The winner of our auction to Beyond the Show. She gets to do it here. Lindsay, I forgot your last name.

Lindsay Null. Lindsay Null. Hi everybody. Yay.

Back in the production of course, our producer, Mr. Craig Williams. Oh, I want to explain to you what it is I want to accomplish here.

And I'm not talking in the next 10 hours. I'm talking in however long it takes.

When I originally had the idea to begin doing like a mass fundraising effort for Give Kids the World, I called it the power of 10.

My idea was if I could get 10,000 people to ask 10 friends to donate $10, that's a million dollars. Now that idea was adorable.

It was adorable at the time because we didn't have the reach. We didn't have the platform, the audience that we have now.

So we adjusted. We adjusted with the wonderful dismeets we did all across the country, which I really hope one day we can get back to doing.

The marathon shows that we came up with the auctions. All of that combined over the years has led us to raise $1.4 million to date for Give Kids the World.

And but what I'm noticing is that now that we have that down, we kind of know what the roadmap is to get to a million dollars.

We do a quarter of a million dollars on every auction alone. And we're going to keep doing that.

I wish I had an announcement to make today for a date for the next Discon, what was Disfamily Reunion is being renamed Discon.

I wish I had an update for you on exactly when that was going to happen. It is going to happen. It is going to happen in the latter part of next year.

We just don't we're not in a place yet. We were ready to announce any details. But, but what I am ready to announce is that we are going to go back to our power of 10 challenge.

Except this time I want 100,000 people, not 10,000. I want to raise $10 million.

Now, I know that sounds like a big goal and it is a big goal. It was a big goal and a lot of people told me an impossible goal when I said I wanted to raise a million.

They're not saying that now. And one of the things I realized was that in pursuit of that goal, in pursuit of that mission, we got so creative.
