Raffle

The raffles I had last year were a HUGE success, so I thought I would try it again -- but even BIGGER!

If anyone is interested in donating prizes for a raffle, please contact me at jrayment AT rogers DOT com. I will post details in a later post.  I have already had a couple of authors agree to send me signed copies of their books which is very cool

Thanks in advance for your support and I will TRY not to bug you all too much this year

Raffle for the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario

I'm such a spaz, just realized I hadn't actually posted the raffle on this blog.  Here is all the info

Wasn't getting many donations so I have upped the anty. Will contact anyone who has entered so far if they want to make any changes.  Great prizes everybody -- don't make the authors unhappy by not buying tickets for their books : )

Have also shortened the post since people were saying it was too frickin long.
US and Canada (Sorry International unless you want to pay for shipping) only unless otherwise mentioned.

Raffle ends June 26th

Hi Everyone

As most of you know my 1st born son, Jacob, was born with Spina Bifida.  I won't go into much detail since you can find out more about our joys and tribulations of living with the challenges of Spina Bifida here

An organization called the Spina bifida and hydrocephalus association of Ontario has been an invaluable help to us on so many occasions that I take part in their annual Spirit Wheel Walk Run event each year.  The work I do for the event will hopefully help pay them back for all the assistance they have provided to our family and other families just like us.  Please give generously and just remember even $5 can help make a difference.

To thank people for donating to my annual Spirit Wheel Walk Run event I am hosting a raffle.  For EVERY $5 you donate to the cause you can choose a chance to get one of the items listed in the form

I also want to thank all the generous author's, blogger's, publishers and companies that donated to this wonderful event.  We couldn't have done this without you!

You can make your donations in person, or on the following site.  Choose Donate NOW
and under Fund Designation choose 2010 SWWR: Jakes Journey (Rayment Family) THEY ACCEPT PAYPAL TOO!

Please fill out the following form AFTER you have made the donation. This raffle is separate from the donation form so just make the donation and than come back here.  Canada Helps has nothing to do with the actual raffle.  Also since I am not tech savy and could not figure out how to do multiple entries for one prize -  if you donate over $5 and want all your raffle tickets to go to one prize only, put it in the comment box at the end of the form.



Put other daily promotion of raffle in comments section and will add to your total
