Featured Friday: Disco Ducks

Still no requests to PROMOTE SOMEONE'S BUSINESS!! Come on, you guys... someone out there HAS to have an Etsy Store, Monogramming Fling or SOMETHING they want me to promote... FREE!!!

So -- I'm promoting ME this week! Well, not me... my organization... Read on (if you're not interested but want to see who my BLOG LOVE of the week is... scroll all the way down!).

Adopt a Duck for a chance to WIN $5,000 and Support Our Non-Profit Organization

I work at a non-profit organization, Albemarle Hopeline. We serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in six counties of northeastern North Carolina. We are doing a raffle... Please read below to find out how you can support us and have a chance to win $5,000 !!!

HOW IT WORKS:

We are excited to announce the Lucky Duck Derby, a raffle to benefit Albemarle Hopeline.The (rubber) ducks can be "adopted" for $5 each online. Once all the adoptions are final, the ducks will be randomly numbered on May 15th -- The Lucky Duck Derby is scheduled at the opening of the Albemarle Potato Festival on Saturday, May16th -- There will be over 5,000 "adopted" ducks launched into Charles Creek and large crowds of people will line the waterfront area to cheer on their adopted ducks. The first duck to cross the finish line will win a $5,000 cash prize. Additional prizes will also be awarded.

Click HERE and then follow the directions below to adopt a duck :
  • CLICK: Adopt a duck (NO! You do NOT have adoption papers)
  • PICK TEAM: Hopeline Disco Ducks:
  • PICK PERSON: Anna
  • Should be easy enough to figure it out from there...
Just to clarify... SATURDAY - MAY 16th - There will be a "DUCK RACE" (no... the ducks are not real) and if the # that is randomly assigned to your duck/ducks win(s) the race... YOU will win $5,000!! There are also several additional prizes -- You DO NOT have to be present to win --

More Info about our organization below.......

The work of Albemarle Hopeline is to provide services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in a six-county area. For twenty-seven years, Hopeline has offered a comprehensive quality service component to victims at no cost through resources from federal, state and local funds. A fundraiser will allow us to raise our profile in the community and enhance the resources available to continue our work.
