The Great CASH GIVEAWAY!
STICKY POST: Please SCROLL down for my CURRENT Posts
I’m giving away $500 CASH! Read on to find out how you can get your hands on it!
PLEDGE QUICK LINK: Click here to visit my pledge page at diabetes.ca
How can you enter? It’s easy!
I have joined Buzz Bishop’s 95 CRAVE Team Diabetes, and I’ll be running my half marathon in Disney World on Jan 10/2009. The purpose of this run is to support the Canadian Diabetes Association, and I need your help to reach my goal of $4500 in pledges…
So, I thought long and hard about how to achieve this goal, and I decided to put MY money where my mouth is! $500 dollars cash, to be exact.
Get **two** entries for each $25 pledge increment (so, for eg: a $50 pledge will give you 4 entries)
Get one entry Toy Story 2 dvd
for a blog post with a link to my pledge page at diabetes.ca Anchors Aweigh ipod (if you don’t have a blog, a Facebook entry, or forum entry will also qualify) — drop a comment here to let me know the link. You don’t have to pledge me to receive an entry this way.
Get a BONUS entry Bee Movie release Snow Cake hd if you make a pledge to my campaign
before September 4th, 2008.
One caveat: This cash can only be given away if I meet my goal of $4500 before December 1st, as I’ll have to make up any difference with my own funds. I don’t forsee this being an issue, but I had to put it out there, just in case.
Remember, not only are you supporting an incredible cause, and getting a chance to win $500, but you will also receive a tax receipt for pledge amounts over $15. Or, use the ChipIn donation below (no tax receipt) if you’d prefer to use PayPal to donate:
Good luck and thanks to everyone for your support!!
ps: This giveaway is retroactive! Just be sure to leave me a comment with where your link to your blog entry or Facebook info is! (even if I’ve already acknowledged it)
Thanks to the supporters that have pledged my cause to date: (Canadian Diabetes Association doesn’t give out email addresses and I don’t have all of them, so please check back here for my thanks to you, too!)

I think that you should have to COMMENT here if you want to pledge… just so that EVERYONE can know who the truly beautiful people are.
I for ONE, am pledging… (just as soon as I roll 50$ worth of my pennies up.)
Fantastic incentives. I will pledge you, though you might not recognize me by name.
Gwen’s last blog post: Hello world!
Awesome, thanks Gwen — I’ll enter you as “Gwen” with your email address that only I see, anyhow…
I pledged (with my maiden name… cause it’s on my credit card) but it wasn’t in a $25 increment = FAIL
I included a link to your pledge page but it was a few weeks ago = double FAIL
Rebecca’s last blog post: Vancouverites Represent at Gnomedex
Hey Rebecca! All links previously posted will qualify, as well as previous sponsor support — If you (or anyone else) would like to combine your pledge, please just comment here, and I’ll add you in together for one entry.
Thanks so much for your blog entry link!
What a fantastic idea for fundraising Tanya! I’m totally stealing this idea when I participate in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer next year.
I posted a blog entry with a link to your campaign here: http://sparklytospouse.blogspot.com/2008/08/go-team-diabetes.html
Sorry I can’t donate at the moment… need a paycheque for that to happen… but hopefully I’ll be able to donate before your fundraising deadline.
Laura’s last blog post: Go Team Diabetes!
Hey Tanya! How are you – email me sometime and we can catch up? Good on you for signing up for this great cause! I have pledged to your campaign.
Don’t forget to take in some rides right after the run.
I would be tempted to make a bigger pledge to see you accomplish that feat. ;>)

Hey Tanya,
I just “chipped in” $25. It will go to *you* right?
I also posted about it on my blog and copied the chip-in widget (first time to do this! Wow – easy!)
Hey Nancy! Thanks for the pledge – Any ChipIn pledges will go straight to Team Diabetes (towards my $4500 goal) – thanks for adding the widget… Total = 3 entries for you!
Hey T!
Good luck on the run! And the fundraising. I’ve pledged you $25 and you can find my blog posting here http://drbethsnow.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/pimping-tanyas-run/ Hope it helps your raise some more dough!

Hi Luc-Rock! Thanks so much for your pledge — I’m inspired by your run, too! Iceland looks beautiful while you were there for your Team Diabetes run (I’m half Icelandic, but have never been there). Congrats!
I’m de-lurking to pledge, haha. Hope I made it in time for extra ballots.
