Gift Card Giveaway from Average Jane

Written by

Since I set a giveaway precedent last week (and by the way, congratulations to Mikey on winning the cookbook), I thought I'd continue through the rest of NaBloPoMo with a giveaway each week.

This week I'm giving away a very special $25 Visa gift card called a GiveCard. Here's how it works:

You, the recipient, can go online to register your card and pick the charity of your choice to receive $5 (or more, if you like).
The rest of the card balance is available for you to spend like cash.

That way you get two gifts in one: the ability to donate to a charity that's meaningful to you and also buy yourself a nice present. Even cooler, the company gives 10% of their profits to charity, so there's more spreading of the wealth behind the scenes.

GiveCard partners with Charity Navigator, so there are thousands of charities from which to choose.

If you'd like to win a GiveCard from me, just comment and tell me which charity you would choose to receive your donation. If you like, you can also say how you'd spend the remainder.

Please enter by Thursday, November 19th at noon Central time. Once I choose the winner, I'll have the gift card sent to him or her directly.

Disclosure: GiveCard is a client of my company and I work on their
account. However, I am purchasing this prize with my own money and am
not receiving any special benefit from conducting this giveaway.

I would like to donate the $$ to something local here–Pet Connection in Mission–as that is dear to my heart.

I’d donate it to Midwest Foster Care and Adoptions for them to buy Christmas gifts for the foster kids. Our scout troop collects coats for them. They are a great local organization.

I would choose The Road Home homeless shelter. This charity not only provides food and shelter, but also works hard to connect people with the resources they need to integrate into my local community. Thanks for the great giveaway! This is a wonderful time of year to be thinking of ways to help others. 🙂

I would donate to Guide Dogs for the Blind… my mom is on her second dog from them, for 15 years she has been able to “see” with the dogs. Amazing

I would donate 1/2 of the card ($12.50) to “Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund”; and the other half to “Children With Hair Loss”. I would also match the donations.
