Soul 4 the South Fundraiser
In recent weeks the South has been hammered by the worst storms and tornadoes to hit the area since the 1970′s and then ravaged by historic floods. With over 300 people losing their lives and thousands left homeless, the devastation from these tragic events has been weighing heavily on my heart. I wanted to do something BIG to help the people who were directly effected. Together with Angie Sandy, from Photo Card Boutique, and nearly 30 generous sponsors we have come together together to form Soul 4 the South. This virtual gift basket totals over $3700 in prizes!!!
We have chosen Beremedy as the charity, which will benefit from the fundraiser. Beremedy is located in Atlanta, Georgia. They are close to the destruction and are able to assess who urgently needs aid. 100% of the donations will go directly to the flood and tornado victims!
Photo Card Boutique and Mom*tog have two separate virtual gift baskets, which are similar, but do contain some different prizes. You can enter both PCB’s giveaway and Mom*togs giveaway, but they do require two separate entries (click here to go to PCB’s blog to enter that giveaway).
How to enter
- Contest ends June 1st at midnight PST. 1 winner will be picked at random. Winner will be announced June 2nd.
- Use the “chipin” widget below to donate. All donations go directly to Beremedy.
- In the notes section of Paypal, please write “Soul 4 the South”. This way Beremedy knows that your donation is to be used for the tornado and flood victims.
- Every $10 you donate is 1 entry into the giveaway. You can enter as many times as you’d like! All entries will be verified!
- For each $10 you donate, leave 1 comment. If you donate $50 you will leave 5 comments. It is very important that you leave separate comments for each entry! Each comment is your entry into the giveaway! Please verify that your comment posted and went into this blog post!!! If you are a first time commenter your comment does have to be approved so please allow one day for your comment to be posted. If you still don’t see it email drew@drewbphotography.com
- Entrants from outside the United States are welcome. However, you will be responsible for shipping!
