Why Eddie Bautista is fundraising for clean water

Fool.com's educational (while amusing) articles about investing changed my life. Thanks to the team of Motley Fools, my stock portfolio has outperformed the market for many consecutive years.

I'm not going to use this space to explain how charity: water is changing the world, because Scott Harrison did an excellent presentation at Fool HQ:
http://newsletters.fool.com/1255/?source=ipesittph0000002

Instead, I'd like to use this space to find other Fools who, like me, have experienced remarkable gains in their stock investing portfolios, and are willing to donate just 10% of their (daily, or weekly, or monthly, or yearly) gain from just one of their best stocks.

With Fool's launch of Invest Better Day on Sept 25, I'm hoping that a few other Fools will reflect on their good fortune, and will meet or beat my donation to help charity: water accomplish their mission. If the $5000 goal is reached by midnight September 25, I will make another donation from the gains of my Foolish portfolio.

And you'll get a chance to get your name entered into a drawing for a round trip for 2 to Maui:

    I've decided to donate 10% of one of my gains from an investment recommended by Motley Fool's Stock Advisor newsletter. I hope 4 other Fools (or any other investor who has benefited from stock investing) can match my donation. If the $5000 goal is reached by the launch of the Fool's "Invest Better Day" campaign, I will make another donation. Please visit www.investbetterday.com on Sept 25, 2012.
