Giveaway for a good cause!

October 11, 2011 in Uncategorized | 34 comments

Hey folks, I know I don’t post a ton here and I’ve got a few post ideas lined up in my head… but I’m putting them on hold in favour of promoting a good cause.

My daughter’s school has no play structure in the kindergarten yard.  It was deemed unsafe and removed.  My son is starting junior kindergarten next fall.

The parents at the school have been wracking their brains for fundraising ideas… but all the time and hard work necessary to raise enough money can be circumvented if the school wins money through the Aviva Community Fund. 

Here is the deal: I will give away two items, each one the winner’s choice between:

The prize includes worldwide shipping via Canada Post regular mail.

How do I win these wonderful things, you ask?

Simple, vote for the project here: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11485

Then come back here and leave a comment each time you vote (make sure it’s one comment per vote if you want to be counted more than once).  I’ll open up comments for the next week so that they should show up right away (apologies in advance if the spambots flock in faster than I can delete them).  If you try to comment and can’t, hit the “contact me” link just under my banner to get my email address and drop me a line.

You can vote every day until noon, October 19th, so I’ll give one prize to the person who votes the most.  In case of a tie, I’ll randomly pick between the people who are tied for the most votes.

I’ll also give one random prize to anyone who votes at all.

Spread the word!  This is a big deal to me so I’d appreciate any and all votes that you can muster up!
