Well response has been a little slower than I initially anticipated. I thought a lot more people would be willing to donate $10 for a chance at a whole box of cigars. It’s less than a month until the event and I am well short of my $3000 fundraising goal. So I am making another plea for donations. Ten dollars may seem like a small amount of money, but when a lot of people are able to give this modest amount, it adds up really quick. Please click on over to my original Ride for Kids Post to find out more about the organization I am raising money for and how you could win one of four really great boxes of cigars, including a sealed box of Fuente Fuente Opus X Petit Lanceros. Here is a picture of all the prizes up for grabs.
Every $10 you donate through my giving page earns you one entry into the drawing for these cigars. A $50 donation gets you 7 entries and the only limitation on how many entries you get is how much you can afford to give. All donations benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation of the US and are tax deductible. All the money donated via the giving site is delivered to the charity by First Giving. I never handle any of the money given through that site.
Be sure to read the instructions detailed in the Ride for Kids 2008 post by clicking here. There you will find the link to donate.
Matt,
Thanks for the reminder, I was planning on donating, and I spaced it. I’m due for a little giving, and hey, who doesn’t want to win a box of cigars? Kudos to you for raising money for a good cause, and kudos to generous folks who donated the cigars! A class act, all around. Best of luck meeting your goal!
Brian
Thank you very much Brian. I appreciate it.
Matt, I could not get the sign up page working. My computer is acting up today. I will try again later. I did blog about this though so I hope to send a couple people your way.
