In case you missed it or are new to my blog, every day this month I am highlighting a charity or nonprofit organization here on my blog. The post includes information on what the organization does, their mission, ways you can help them and how to find out more information on them. By writing about these organizations I am hoping to raise awareness about the causes they are advocating–education, homeliness, Autism, etc.
To raise funds I have asked brands and businesses to donate products to be raffled off in exchange for donations. Donations can be made using the ChipIn widget. (Update: ChipIn no longer exists. Click here for more info.)
100% of the proceeds will be donated to one of the charities highlighted during March For Charity. I will be posting a poll up with the names of all the charities that were written about this month beginning April 1st and readers will have a week to vote for their favorite. At the end of the week, the winner will be announced and a check will be sent to them.
Without further ado, here are the wonderful prizes up for raffle:
Wonder Bumpers (excludes Wishes of Windsor) from Go Mama Go Designs
ReUsies Sandwich/Snack bag from ReUsies (2 winners)
Ruffle Leggings from Kangacoo Designs
Decorative Wall Vinyl Decal from Trading Phrases (3 winners)
Also, those who donate at least $5.00 will be entered into the raffle to win our grand prize
7-8.0mm Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings from Pure Pearls
You can get an extra entry for every $1 you donate by:
1-Adding the March For Charity button to your blog (see top right sidebar)
2-Post about March For Charity on your blog
3-Tweet Help @yummommies raise money for #MarchForCharity http://goo.gl/eAew0
Don’t forget to comeback and leave a comment letting me know that you donated and which extra entry you completed.
