Menu For Hope II: Raffle to Help Kashmir Victims
Some of you may remember Pim's Menu for Hope fundraiser from last year, when she organized a few food bloggers to urge their readers to donate money for victims of 2004's massive tsunami.
How sad to make this an annual tradition. But natural disasters continue to happen, and good wishes alone don't help the victims. Pim has organized a second Menu for Hope to aid those affected by the Kashmir earthquake. This year, she's set up a raffle. Some of your favorite food bloggers have donated prizes, and you can buy a single ticket for just $5. There are some fantastic opportunities on that list (are we eligible to win, Pim? I wouldn't mind a gift certificate to Manresa!). You can—and should—buy more than one ticket to increase your odds. Remember, all the money goes straight to those who need it. And unlike most raffles, you can pick and choose the prizes you might win. As you donate, leave a comment mentioning which drawing you'd like to enter. Pim's site has the full list of options, and more keep coming.
I'm offering a subscription to The Art of Eating. As most of you know, I consider Ed Behr's quarterly to be the best food and wine magazine around. You simply won't find a more thoughtful or better-informed publication, and I for one really like Ed's style of writing (and editing). Here's your chance to win a subscription and see for yourself. Go to the First Giving site, enter a donation, and win a chance for a raffle ticket. Remember, the more tickets you buy, the better your chances.
