Thanks for commenting, Joe. I saw that and I think it's a great example of things to come. However, it is a littler different from what I want to achieve in that I want to tie in a badge.

We're still talking to potential sponsors about the program. It's been challenging because I work on the local level and a lot of the local companies I work with are just coming around to social media, much less Foursquare. But I'm optimistic!

I don't know how much progress you've made on achieving this goal, but you may be pleased to learn that there is a precedent. In a Mashable article on How Non-Profits and Activists Can Leverage Location-Based Services, Melissa Jun Rowley wrote about a related example in New York City: "Last month, Foursquare teamed up with New York Tech Gives Back and Pepsi to raise funds for Campinteractive, a non-profit organization that provides inner city youth with technical training and outdoor recreational programs. From December 6 to 13, Pepsi donated $0.04 to Campinteractive for every check in point added to the Foursquare leaderboard."
