How much is my dignity worth? I’m auctioning it to help raise money for peace

I'm willing to make a fool of myself for a good cause. What type of public humiation should I do? How much is it worth to you?

So I was inspired by the Beth’s Blog stories about people publicly humiliating themselves for good causes. So I figured, “hey, my birthday is coming up, maybe I should make a fool of myself and raise some cash for the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.”

So here’s the plan: I’m taking suggestions for what I should offer as a prize for reaching our fundraising goal.

Here are my initial thoughts:

• Every donor gets either a bottle of homebrew birthday beer, a loaf of bread, or a can of preserves (okay, it’s not embarrassing, but it is tasty);
• Make my own version of the Lazy Sunday music video;
• Shave my head;
• Recite The Lorax on a soap box on Main Street for Earth Day while wearing a Cat in the Hat hat;
• Run the Dexter Ann Arbor run in fairy wings with a tiara and a wand;

So these are my ideas, but somehow I figure you have other ideas for what I could do. Offer them up in the comments, and on Tuesday, March 17 I’ll come up with the humiliation list.

Now for the fine print:

• I reserve the right to disqualify actions (sorry, no public nudity);
• Not every act of public humiliation is worth the same amount of money. For example, I’d shave my head for $250, but the tiara would take at least $1,000;
• Donations accepted until March 31, 2009;
• Everyone who donates gets to vote on what I do.  ($5 to $49 donors get 1 vote; $50 to $99 donors get 2 votes, $100 to $249 get get 4 votes; each $250 donation gets you 8 votes) Every $50 get you 1 vote ($5-$50 is 1 vote, $51-$100 is 2, etc);
  
• I can donate and vote too, so I might choose to put something really out there as one of the options and then start a bidding war over whether or not I actually have to go through with it.

You don’t have to wait until we pick the humiations, you can start donating now. If you’re not into online giving, you can mail donations to ICPJ, 730 Tappan, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Make checks out to “ICPJ” and put “Chuck’s Challenge” in the subject line.
