Donations & Giveaways

The crisis following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan is sweeping across the world and I know many people are asking how they can help. One of my good friends was in Japan during the earthquake too, so I know how this has affected people. I also know a lot of people are financially struggling and I want to help in a unique way that will get more people involved. So here's how it works...

For every entry I receive for this giveaway, I will donate 25 cents (up to $200) to the American Red Cross. The giveaway period will start Monday, March 21 and go until Sunday, March 27 at midnight EST. Winners & total amount raised will be announced the following Tuesday!

Ways to Enter:
1 entry- Leave a comment on this blog post
2 entries- Like my photo here on Facebook (I entered my own contest and wouldn't mind some love!-- be sure to like the page and then like my photo :))
1 entry- Refer a friend! Just have them mention your name in their blog comment.

(PLEASE remember to leave your contact email and name in your comment!)

On top of helping out a great cause, I am also making this fun by giving away some prizes too. All winners will be randomly chosen and obviously the more entries you have, the better chance you'll have at snagging a cool prize and also donating more to the Red Cross for relief work in Japan.

Prizes:
1st place (picked first)- 1 dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes and a $15 donation to the charity of your choice.

2nd place (picked second)- half dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes and a $10 donation to the charity of your choice.

more prizes may be announced depending on the response I get!-- So let's get this going!

Also, Sprinkles is donating all proceeds from the sales of their red velvet cupcakes to the Red Cross on Tuesday, March 22nd!
