adelheid_pAttention Knitters, Crocheters, and Fiber fans!
Team Knitsburgh is raising money with an amazing raffle full of yarny goodness. Not to mention things like hand-turned wooden knitting needles and gorgeous embroidered project bags! All the money raised goes to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to fund research. Research costs $87/minute, and as a team, we’d like to raise the money for 12 minutes. To learn more about Muscular Dystrophy, and how research is changing the lives of children and adults, visit the MDA’s website.
Here’s how the raffle works: for every three dollars you donate, you get one chance in the raffle. If you donate $15, you get 6 chances. So, if you donate $21, you get 8 chances. If you’re feeling generous, and you donate $30, you get 12 tickets. Get the idea? Once you’ve donated, PM me with your real name, how much you’ve donated, and which item or items you’d like a chance to win. If you don’t specify an item, Team Knitsburgh will choose an item for you. If you have any questions, post them below and I'll answer as quick as I am able!
The raffle runs from today (4/3) through 4/17. To donate, click the 'Donate Now' button on my Team Knitsburgh page. One last thing before you start looking -- none of us has a lot of extra cash (if we did, we'd be donating it to MDA!), so if you win, we'll be asking you to pay the postage. Items will be sent Priority Mail in the US, and whichever way is safest and still cost-effective for overseas.
