SIDE BY SIDE - OCTOBER 2011
How would you like the possibility of winning a cup of coffee per day for a WHOLE YEAR at Peet's Coffee or how about a party for THIRTY at Jillian's? What if we told you that while trying to win either of these prizes, you could be helping some of the most vulnerablfriendse men and women in our community?
The goal of this Friends Asking Friends Challenge is to spread the word about the work that is being done at Rosehedge/Multifaith Works and honestly, to expand our base of supporters.
The contest is open to everyone. The structure behind our Friends Asking Friends Challenge is simple. Ask your friends to donate to Rosehedge/Multifaith Works in your honor. Each friend that donates, enters you into the drawing. At the end of the challenge (November 4th) the person with the most friends donating in their honor WINS. That person gets first choice of the two prizes. Then at the end of the challenge, we draw one name out from all of the donations made. If it is a friend of yours that made the winning donation...YOU WIN.
We're a small organization and try to best utilize the funds from donors to help the vulnerable men and women we serve. We don't have the funds for a fancy marketing team or advertising print campaign. We rely largely on word of mouth. You are the best promoter we have!
Just click here to donate now.
The great thing about this challenge is that your friends can easily enter to win by telling their friends. Like the Faberge Organic shampoo commercial said, "I told two friends. And they told two friends. And so on, and so on, and so on.....
When you are asking for donations, try asking for manageable amounts. Many people would love to help, but just can't afford a $50 or $100 donation. Try asking for $5 or $10. Each donation helps!
