We're having a giveaway to raise money to cover expenses relating to adopting Roland (code name "Joel" on Reece's Rainbow). Remember all funds will go directly to placing this little boy into a family who will love him and get him the medical care he needs. And we only have until April to raise the oodles of money for his ransom!
Every $5 donation you make to Roland's ("Joel's") grant fund gets you one entry to win! All donations are tax deductible!
So $10 is two entries. $40 is 8 entries. $14,000 (which would cover the whole thing!) is 2800 entries! You know what, scratch that. You give me $14,000 and I'll give you all the prizes. And clean your house. And do your kids' homework.
Also! If you share our story/fundraiser on Facebook you get another chance to win!
Also! If you have a blog post from your blog devoted to Roland's story you get two additional chances to win!
The winners will be chosen by random.com on January 25th, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. PST (that would be midnight for you East Coast people, aka "Eastcoastaricans").
You MUST comment on this blog OR shoot me an email at rolandquest@gmail.com and let me know how many entries you get! I don't want you to rely on me being observant and stuff. Just a quick, "Hey I gave $10 and shared on Facebook!" would be perfect!
Our first prize is already unlocked!
Our second prize needs $400 to unlock!
For our grand prize to be unlocked (meaning part of the drawing on January 25th) we need $3,000 worth of donations generated from this giveaway! That's because our grand prize is worth around $1,000!

ReplyDeleteThe Ashe family donated $30 and shared your link on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a completely random note, I've apparently SEEN and almost BOUGHT Lauren's work before, without ever knowing it was hers! Crazy small world!
ReplyDeleteDonated $20 and shared on Facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteI just donated $20 and am about to share on facebook...also I don't think this counts but just in case I had donated $50 two nights ago, (the night I friended you on facebook.) I have the receipt if u need it. I totally understand if it doesn't count but just thought I'd try! :)
ReplyDeleteYes if you donated within a few days of the start of the giveaway and you tell me about it then it counts! I had another person say the same thing so I'm counting them too.
ReplyDeleteFor Facebook shares, those have to be after the start of the giveaway because we want to advertise the giveaway!
Thanks for letting me know! If anyone is reading this and you think I know you shared on Facebook, but you haven't told me on this blog or at rolandquest@gmail.com please let me know! I don't want anyone left out!
We're only $100 away from unlocking the iPod!!!
I just posted on my (very unread) blog! FB me (Sarah Beth Stephens Macy in case you haven't put two and two together! LOL!) and I'll give you a link, if my google profile doesn't have it linked already.
ReplyDeleteI did post it to facebook this am so it definitely includes the fundraiser! So excited for you to have reached $8000 already! I can't wait to see all the other miracles God continues to work for your family and Roland! :)
