IPad 2 Drawing-Fundraiser for 30 Entrants

Image via Wikipedia

 As many of you know, I’m working hard preparing for my “Team in Training” half marathon (Team in Training is the organization that raises funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma foundation). To turn up the intensity, zero-in on my fundraising goal and make it fun for everyone I’d like to offer 30 of YOU the opportunity to enter a drawing for an Apple IPad 2 (Wifi, 16 MB) in exchange for a $30 donation.

How it works…if you make one pledge of $30 you are entered in a drawing with a maximum of only 30 other entrants (not like other drawings where there are thousands of other entrants). You CAN, of course, increase your chances by pledging more (example 2 pledges = $60, equals two entries in the drawing). Here are the instructions:

• The first 30 people to respond to me by e-mail (johannesmutzke@yahoo.com) and pledge a $30.00 donation will be entered into the drawing. The first 30 will be determined by the time stamp in MY e-mail inbox.
• I will confirm your participation with a direct message back to you (e-mail, etc.). If you don’t make it in the first 30 I’ll let you know if there will be another drawing (if so, you’ll be entered for the next one).
• As soon as I have 30 participants I’ll send you a message letting you know it’s time to send in your pledge.  You’ll have one week from this notification to send me a check  (I’ll then give you the details – address, etc.).  If I don’t receive it, participation will be opened to the next person in line.
• You CAN pledge at a higher amount (in increments of $30) to be entered into the drawing multiple times.
• As soon as all 30 slots are filled and the donations are received I will have the Team in Training coordinator draw the winning name.
• The winner can select the color and engraving text. The IPad will be shipped directly to your home from Apple.

What’s in it for you…First, supporting a good cause by helping me raise money for cancer research. Second, a good possibility of winning an IPad2. Please feel free to pass this on to famiy, friends, etc.  Thanks for “jumping in” to make a difference!

 Happy pledging!

NOTE: If you already have an IPad and just want to make a donation I really appreciate this as well. Just respond and I’ll let you know how you can make a donation (ex. online, check, etc.).
