A Mighty Awesome Raffle

camp-mighty-tote-1.JPGHaving just recently returned from California, it's hard to believe I'm heading back in a couple of weeks for Camp Mighty. However, I'm super excited to engage in life happiness-centered connection and reflection, and the event organizers have built in an awesome charity component. Each attendee is responsible for raising $200 for charity: water, a non-profit dedicated to bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
I'm teaming up with my dear friend (and camp roomie) Asha Dornfest of Parent Hacks and we're hoping you can help us reach (or exceed!) our collective $400 goal. Instead of asking for direct donations, we lifted the brilliant idea of a raffle from fellow attendee Amy (thanks Amy!).

So, you totally want to buy a raffle ticket (or 10!). We have an amazing tote full of goodies spanning home, office, tech, baby/kids, personal care, and jewelry. Value is approximately $350. For real! You can see a bigger picture of the overstuffed tote below the Paypal donation button (note not so subtle placement), plus a list of the contents.

Each ticket costs $2 and you may purchase as many as you like (e.g., $10 = 5 entries). We will collect raffle donations up until noon, Sunday, November 6. Anything Asha and I raise above our $400 goal will also go to charity:water so feel free to be generous! And thank you in advance for helping us do something good for those in need.
