New Year Charity Raffle

Happy New Year!

It's a lovely new year, beloved internet, and I mean to start it off on a positive note. Therefore I am hosting a charity raffle for the month of January. Every whole dollar you donate to one of the organizations listed below will earn you one virtual raffle ticket. The prize is a gift basket which consists of four hand-knit wash cloths, and three items of your choice from Chagrin ValleySoaps.

Please, donate directly to the organizations and email the receipts to me for your entries. perihawk at gmail dot com.  The receipts will only be kept for the duration of the fund-raiser and destroyed immediately after the winner is confirmed.

As a bonus, if you're into the humiliation of your friends, if we reach a combined total of $250, I will make a video of myself singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid.

Donation emails will be accepted January 1st through 31st. The winner will be drawn on February 2nd.




Thank you for helping me start this new year off right!
