Win a T-Shirt and Help Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

by derek on August 8, 2007 · 55 comments

When I was talking about how to earn repeat business, I mentioned that I was going to give away more t-shirts as a token of my appreciation for the readers of this site. The last time I gave away free prizes, there was a great response to the t-shirts and the little squeeze toy.
Unfortunately I do not have any more of the squeeze toy to give away but I will step it up a little this time around. Instead of selecting three winners, I will be selecting 15 winners!
In addition to selecting 15 winners, I am going to help support Darla Briggs as she participates in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. While I don’t personally know Darla, I have decided to support her not only because she is a friend of Leo Chiang (who is a regular here) but also because I regularly support various charities focused on finding a cure for cancer.
For every entry to this contest up to the first 100 entries, I will donate $1.00 (USD) to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation as a sponsor of Darla Briggs. Enter now and help spread the word about this contest to ensure Darla receives the full $100 sponsorship!
Contest Rules
As I did with the previous contest, I will be keeping the rules pretty simple. All you have to do to enter the contest is leave a comment on this post. As before, you only need to reply once as multiple comments will not count as multiple entries. To increase your chances of winning, you can blog about this contest and send a trackback to get a second entry. Check out the full feed RSS to find out how you can get a third entry.
The deadline to enter will be 12:00PM CST on August 22nd.
Contest Prize
There will be 15 t-shirts up for grabs in this contest, including: 10 ShoeMoney shirts, 1 flippingrich.com shirt and 4 random shirts that I received at a conference a few months ago.

T-Shirt Give Away

I’ll do my best to accommodate you as far as t-shirt size although I am limited to 4 ShoeMoney mens shirts (size large), 4 ShoeMoney womens babydoll shirts (size large) and the rest are all XL shirts. As such, I reserve the right to send you whatever I have available.
No matter where you are in the world, I will ship the prize to you (even though this might get rather expensive with 15 winners).
Good luck to everyone!

What a great idea to help support Darla and breast cancer. I always support the research for breast cancer having several close friends who developed breast cancer.
Excellent way to generate more awareness.

Just wanted to pop in here to say thank you to everyone for entering! I’ll do my best to accommodate people on shirt sizes but I have a limited number of each and some of them are womens shirts.
Don’t forget that you can gain an extra entry by posting about the contest on your site and there are details of another bonus entry included in my RSS feed! 🙂
