First, next month I am running the Boston Marathon - ahhhhh!!!
Second, all month long you have the chance to win some AMAZING prizes during my March Marathon Madness Opportunity Drawings!!!
Read on for details on each week's prizes, how to enter, and more. And since 100% of every $10 entry goes directly to funding research projects via the Barr Program, you are already a winner just be entering! Last year these drawings helped raise over $5,000 for vital cancer research so that is the goal to beat this year, and you all know I like setting goals and surpassing them so...let the madness begin!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each week in March there is a different prize up for grabs.
During each week, every $10 donation increment made gets you one entry for that
week's prize. So $10 = 1 entry, $20 = 1 entry, $30 = 3 entries and so on. At
the end of the week, all entries are entered into a random drawing and a winner
is chosen. It's that simple!
HOW DO I DONATE TO GET MY ENTRIES???
You can donate directly via my DFMC fundraising link (click here)
CAN I JUST MAKE ONE DONATION AND THEN SPLIT MY ENTRIES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS PRIZES?
You sure can! Just make one lump donation and then email me to let me know how you would like to allocate your entries. For example, you can donate $50 and then tell me you would like one entry for Week 1, two entries for Week 3, and two entries for Week 4. Or you could donate $100 and ask for two entries to Week 1, 2, and 3, and four entries for Week 4.However you want to split your $10 increments is fine by me, and with no limit on how many times you can enter you can give yourself unlimited chances to win while supporting a great cause!
CAN I ENTER THESE DRAWINGS AND STILL SPONSOR-A-MILE???
Absolutely! If you have been waiting to sponsor-a-mile with a gift of $126.20, now is the time do so because you will also gain entries to any of my March Madness opportunity drawings! And because I just love seeing ya'll claim those miles and give me a reason to make each one special, I will round your entries up to a lucky 13 giving you even more chances to win! Simply make your gift of $126.20 or more via my DFMC donation site and then email me to let me know (a) which mile you would like from the available miles, and (b) which week's drawings you would like your thirteen entries allocated to!
