Cyber Monday- or Tuesday

My friend Debbie is doing this VERY COOL fundraiser for Heifer Project.
This is a copy of the email she sent me this week.
I just purchased my raffle tickets and think it is a super thing to support.

"Some of you already know that I've been hard at work for the past
month organizing Passports With Purpose, a travel blogger's fundraiser
for Heifer International. The fundraiser launched today, and I'd like
to ask for your support. It's easy, and fun. This is a raffle, where
you buy tickets ($10 each) for a chance to win some truly fantastic
prizes.

You can find a complete list of prizes at
http://www.PassportsWithPurpose.com, but here are a few of my
favorites:

3 Nights at the Wyland Waikiki in Hawaii ($400+)
$150 Gift Card to B&H Photo (valid online and in store) ($150)
$100 Gift Card for any hotel in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith Hotel Collection ($100)
$200 shopping spree with ExOfficio & $100 lunch ($300)
Ergo Hands Free Baby Carrier and iPod Shuffle ($213)

Each $10 donation buys you one raffle ticket and you get to choose
which prize drawing you enter.

Best of all, the money goes to people who truly need it. Heifer
International's mission is to help lift the world's poorest people out
of poverty... not with one-time donations, but by giving them the
means to support themselves. Through Heifer, families are given
animals that can help stave off starvation and provide income. Even a
small amount of money helps. $20 (the cost of two raffle tickets)
purchases a flock of chicks who feed on scraps, but produce both food
and income for a family. Our goal is to raise $5000 for Heifer, and a
few hours in, we're already almost 10% of the way there. With your
help, I know we can do even more.

Please consider diverting some of your "Cyber Monday" shopping money
to support Passports With Purpose today.

Thanks so much!

End of her post. More later about our newest family member. No, not the baby. That isn't until April. I'm talking about the Roomba!
