This month’s giveaway is kind of different. Instead of sharing a tangible product with you guys, I decided to share a few other things that I love instead! I’m big into causes and thought it would fun (and something positive) to offer a donation to a great charity in lieu of a tangible prize.
So…this month you have a chance to win a 20 dollar donation (the approximate value of the other giveaway prizes) on your behalf at one of the following five charities. If you win the giveaway, you can choose which one of these you would like to give the donation to! And to thank you, I will send you a 10 dollar Starbucks E-Card as a gift:)
Our charity choices are:
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
To enter this giveaway, just leave a comment with one thing you vow to do today to make your community just a teeny tiny bit better. It doesn’t have to be something big…it could be as small as letting someone merge in front of you on your way home, or donating a few dollars to a charity you support. I will pick and announce the winner on Friday, so be on the lookout!
Oh this is such a great idea!! I’m going to have to think about it and come back 🙂
We live in a constantly littered neighborhood. My kids and I (6 and 7) are going out today to pick up trash to clean up our street. We’re learning that just because we didn’t make the mess doesn’t mean we can’t help clean it up!! 🙂
I’ve never been much of a donator but I gave $3 to a group I support the other day! If I can buy junk food for $3, I can also support a good cause, so I think I’ll do that whenever I can 🙂 Very thought provoking post Katie! 🙂
Ooh! I really like this giveaway! I will donate blood in 2 weeks when I’m eligible again. I have type O- blood so I’m a universal donor but can only receive from other O negs so the children’s hospital in our area is always putting O- on the special order list. I’ll also cancel my hair appointment in two weeks and instead continue to grow my hair out another four inches and donate 10 inches to Locks for Love. 🙂
Hello! I’m a big supporter of cancer charities. I make an effort to donate and support a few groups every year. Unfortunately, cancer has touched the lives of a few close friends, my father-in-law and my mother, a breast cancer survivor. I try my best to do my part 🙂
I’m photographing some of the shelter dogs this afternoon, to help get them adopted & escape the incredibly high euthanasia rate.
i will answer the phone nicely and not get snippy with anyone (working for a municipality makes that difficult sometimes haha) great idea 🙂
OMG! I love it!! Great idea! I would pick up any liter that I may see in my neighborhood as I am walking my puppy today!
Yesterday, I participated in a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Providence, RI and was “Locked Up.” I posted $470 dollars in bail for which all proceeds went to the MDA to support kids going to camp!
I mailed our wedding invitations today. After the first (yes, that’s correct- FIRST) post office I went to turned me away, I was feeling dejected. An hour lady, an amazing woman at the UPS store came through for me and went above and beyond.
To pay it forward, I’m going to deliver some cupcakes and a thank you note to this kind stranger tomorrow!
