Help preserve Scottish poet Robert Burns’ legacy – Give just $2

It’s the cheapest birthday present ever! As I’ve mentioned online and below, we’re fundraising via Twitter for the new National Trust for Scotland Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. I’ll also be posting lines of Burns regularly via his Twitter account at www.twitter.com/ayrshirebard. For anyone writing about Burns until Tuesday, feel free to use the hashtags #burns. I’m also using #burnspoem when I post a line from Burns.

Feel free to spread this far and wide – here’s a tiny URL for this post: http://tiny.cc/6dV1U.

As this post shows, Burns has touched nearly everyone on the planet, so surely $2 isn’t too much to help ensure Burns legacy is remembered for another 50 years.

Any company which donates a minimum of $100 will get a free press release sent to their relevant media – global, local and national – as well as a thank you via Twitter.

HOW TO GIVE:
If you have a Twitter account, all you have to do is add your details below and hit ‘Give and Tweet’. It will then prompt you for your PayPal account details – and that’s you, done! You can give more than $2 if you want, that’s just a suggested minimum.

If you don’t have a Twitter account, but would still like to donate via PayPal, all you have to do is send a payment – it doesn’t have to be $2 – to burnstwitter@nts.org.uk

If you don’t have a Twitter or Paypal account, follow the instructions downpage here. If you don’t have accounts and don’t want to set them up, but still want to donate, you can discuss donations by telephoning the Development Department on 0844 493 2113 during regular office hours or by email to development@nts.org.uk.

Acceptance of donations will close at 9am Tuesday morning UK/GMT time.
