The IM-NY Charity event the other night was a major success. I heard over $16,000 was raised by the sponsors and those that came out and handed over cash. $16,000! I feel so proud to be part of an industry that is that generous!

The money raised went to an outstanding cause, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I asked Greg of IM-NY how others can contribute if they were unable to come to SES NY. He told me the best way is to just go to the donate page at the society's web page and give money that way. I know there are a lot more SEOs and SEMs that showed up to SES, so let's all show the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society how awesome our industry is and give what you can via their donate page.

Michael Gray posted his thoughts on the event. He added that Best of the Web and Search Engine Land sponsored the event as well.
