March of Dimes Fundraiser Drawing Prizes

If you missed it, here's how this got started. Basically, the self-proclaimed future Baby Makin' Machine found out making a baby isn't as easy as I thought. So to take my mind off that, I'm raising money to help other people make healthy babies through the charity of March of Dimes.

It's come to my attention that "raffles" are not allowed through Paypal, so here's what I'm changing this to... A free drawing. You're just DONATING money to March of Dimes, NOT buying "raffle tickets," however, as my gift to you, I will put your name in a bucket FOR FREE for every dollar you donate, because me and these outstanding sponsors want to return the favor for your generosity. Paypal donations are not assciated with the drawing. If you have questions on the seperate raffle drawing or how to donate please email me at babymakingmachine{at}gmail.com

Now, without further delay, here are the products that will be up for grabs in this drawing(sponsors are continuing to be added):

My 4 special sponsors for the cutest baby, cutest kid and cutest pet contests are:
Throughout the month I'll be featuring each of these wonderful sponsors, and telling you more about them.

(I'm also adding more daily so check back to this list).

1= $1

5= $5
10= $10
15= $15
20= $20

Now here's the kicker... Everyone who donates $15 to this wonderful charity will get something! You will not only get your name in my bucket 15 times (for free), but you will get your choice in a custom bandanna for your pooch, or two custom little girl headbands... Both items are made by ME! I just ask that you also tell a friend, or mention the raffle on your blog too so we can spread the word!

I didn't have a huge heads-up for this fundraiser, but I'm hoping you'll help me out! If you donate at least $1 and add the blog button to your blog, or post about it, let me know, you'll get an extra chance at a prize!

Again, you are putting in a DONATION, but I will give you a FREE chance to win for every dollar you donate... You aren't "buying a ticket" and Paypal is NOT associated with the drawing. :)

If you don't want to be put in the drawing let me know!


Each section is broken up into $1/$5/$10/$15/$20 donations. I'll draw names based on your donation and you'll have a chance to win those prizes for free! However Paypal is NOT assocaited with the drawing. Questions on how to donate? Email babymakingmachine{at}gmail.com

Remember 100% of the money donated is going to charity, so if you don't win something (which is unlikely) you just donated towards saving a child's life! If you can't donate anything, I understand, but help me spread the word so we can raise more together! You can donate by clicking the "chip in" link to the right or by clicking here.

If you tweet about this during the month please use #marchofdimes as the hashtag thing on Twitter and maybe at the end I'll have a "twitter party" for the drawing, or something, I dunno yet. But come back to this post for updates! :)

**update** If YOU have a giveaway going on and want to promote it you can link to it on my blog HERE. Spread the word about this raffle at the same time... Add my button to your giveaway, and give your participants an extra entry for donating!**

**update** The goal was $300 but after raising 40% of that in a day I decided to raise it to $1000. That's $1000 in a month, but I think we can do it! There's well more than $1000 worth of prizes! Tell your friends!***

***New! For Sponsors*** I'll be doing a drawing for a sponsor in each category (1, 5, 10, 20) to win a prize from ME! You can choose a either little girl headband or a doggie bandanna! You get points for each comment one of your friends leaves on your feature post here, you also get a point for posting about it on your blog and/or twitter! I'll draw the winners at the end of the fundraiser!***

The raffle ends October 18th and shortly after I'll be drawing the winners. Each person can win up to two (2) prizes (not including the guaranteed prize for a $15 donation).
