Scrapper in Need!!!
Lain Ehmann, one of the contributing editors for Simple Scrapbooks Magazine has an awesome opportunity posted here on her blog.
Lain's son, Ben, is an avid baseball player and his team recently was ranked as one of the top 24 teams in the nation! They have been invited to compete in the World Series at Disney's Wide World of Sports!!
Now, a trip like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but unfortunately does not come without its drawbacks...they have to raise $10,000 by August 1st in order to go!
SO - Lain has a great proposal (from her blog):
So here's my brilliant idea. If you so desire, I'm inviting you to donate $5 to his team (via Paypal, cash, or check). It's 100% tax-deductible because his team is a non-profit. In return, for each $5 you donate, you will be entered in a drawing to win one of many fabulous scrapbook-related prizes... with the grand prize being:
A brand-new Making Memories tote (lavender, not pink) loaded with awesome MM goodies... easily valued at over $300! (Probably more like $400 but I am in too much of a rush to add it all up). There are paper packs, rub-ons, clear transparency overlays, letter stickers, buttons, brads, tags -- you name it!
And here is the really cool part -- EVERYONE who donates will receive a prize pack from me worth AT LEAST $5. So you donate $5 tax deductible, you get a chance at winning $300 worth of product, and you are guaranteed at least $5 in goodies. What's not to love???
A few details:
-All donations must be received by 7/30 -- next Wednesday -- so I can get the prizes out before I leave for Orlando.
-Grand prize drawing will be held 7/31.
-Shipping on the grand prize is going to be a wee bit expensive -- maybe $40 via UPS? I will SPLIT the shipping cost on the tote with the winner.
-Please tell your friends! I would love to make at least $250 on this -- that means 50 donations of $5.
-You will get one entry for each $5. If you donate $10 you will get two entries and will receive at least $10 in product.
In addition to Lain's generous prize, Go. Be Creative. has also donated an August Lavender Vanilla Kit to the cause (in addition to our monetary contribution)! So you are entered into a drawing for that as well! If you are already a subscriber, I will be happy to provide you with a June or July kit, or even a future kit at no cost instead!
You can paypal your donation to Lain using the email address lainehmann@comcast.net, and be sure to include your mailing address so you can receive your goodies!
Lain has already raised over $500 - but that is still such a small dent - I know we can do more!
Best of luck to Ben and his team at the World Series!!
And to help him - Go. Be Generous!!
