Giveaway Announcement

Hello, friends! I must start off with an exclamation point like that, because I'm very excited about this post and the incredible prizes that are on the line! So, as I said recently, fundraising kind of has to happen. However. There is a way to make it win-win-win. This is how it will work. We have prizes. I will get to those in a minute. Okay, how about now? Here they are: 

An iPad Mini! 

A Kindle Fire HDX

The Bosch Tassimo Single Serve Beverage System 

$100 gift card to Amazon

ANOTHER $100 gift card to Amazon!

An amazing assortment (more than pictured) of cookies and bars made by

 a real-deal French (well, her pastries are French, she is German and Irish, mostly)

 pastry chef. Oui oui! Will accommodate dietary restrictions. 

This GORGEOUS Vera Bradley set- 

the Signature Print Travel Bag & Slim Cosmetic Case

in Venetian Paisley, and it's even more stunning in person! 

The Perfect Party Set from 31 Gifts

(I have one of these that I won in an 

adoption fundraiser last year, and I looove it)

The Hang-Up Home Organizer from 31 Gifts

AND A $50 Target gift card 

Firstly, thank you family and friends for these donations. You. Rock. I love you guys. Thank you for loving Tolia and loving us! 

Second, this is how YOU, dear reader, can get one or more of these items in your hot little hands!

1) Donate to Tolia's super-secure, tax-deductible adoption fund. Don't be alarmed, his pseudonym on there is Sasha. No worries, that is definitely our Tolia! For every $5 donation, your name will be entered into the drawing to win one of these prizes. Donate $10, get entered three times. $25 donation earns you 9 entries, and a $50 donation earns you 20 entries. I could go on. Any other large donation, I will come up with an appropriately insane number of entries for you, never fear! Once you have donated, leave a comment on this post with your donation amount, and let me know if you'd rather it not be published. 

2) SHARE this blog post. On Facebook, Twitter, or your blog. Facebook and Twitter shares get an entry, sharing on your blog gets three entries. See, you can win something for nothing! Amazing, huh? Just comment to let me know how you shared it. 

On Friday, December 20th, we will draw winners, let you know immediately, and ship these items to you STAT! I'm a nerd, and just worked out the math of your likelihood of winning a prize, and you're AT LEAST 30,000 times more likely to win a prize in this giveaway than in winning the Powerball. Great odds at winning a prize, my friend. I've won lots of times from similar adoption fundraisers. (Not to mention EVERYONE wins EVERY time they donate to an orphan's adoption)

************Update 12/14/2013: We now have a $10,000 matching grant! This INCLUDES the funds already in our Reece's Rainbow account. If our account reaches $10,000 BY DEC. 31, the fund will DOUBLE, becoming $20,000! And our adoption will basically be fully funded! Please share and give! (The giveaway, however, will still end on Dec.20th so that we can get folks' prizes to them by Christmas)***************

Thanks for reading, sharing and donating, friends! It's all for this boy...
