Baseball

Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Stories, True and Otherwise

Day Saved: Prizes Ahoy

I still have not heard from about half the winners. I will send the prize list one more time later today; you will have until Friday, 3 June to send me your preferred prizes. If you do not want a prize at all, please let me know that, but either way, if I have not heard from you by 3 June, I will cross you off the list and move on to someone else. Please check your spam folders, and read the directions carefully. Any questions, let me know.

Prize donors, thank you for your patience as I get this finished up.

I haven’t heard back from all winners yet, so just real quick: Did you get an email from me, notifying you that you’d won? (Again: check spam folders.) If so, did you read the entire thing? The email contains instructions that you need to follow in order to claim a prize. If you don’t want a prize, that’s fine, and you can let me know, but if you do, you gots to send that list in.

FYI, I’ve sent the prize lists out to our winners via email — so please check your spam traps to make sure you didn’t miss it! (Not least because it contains instructions, and you may have questions.) If you didn’t get selected for a prize, I’m sorry I couldn’t be-loot everyone, but I hope participating in the contest was worth your while anyway.

    Alas, the dreams of your arrival in Denver in the bitty car have now died. Participation euphoria, and pride in the Nation, make for damn fine alternate rewards, though.

    I forgot to mention that I’ll be in Jersey tomorrow for a work function, with limited access to email until the late PM. Not hearing from me re: the prizing list is no cause for alarm.

  • SP says:

    Sure enough, spam folder says “Sarah Sent You A Message”! It’s from Hot Hookups! That’s probably you, right? I’ll just assume it…oh. Goodness. I didn’t recall this being one of the prizes.

  • Debby Guardino says:

    Sarah could you please post this…my Tomato Nation “Victory Garden” is still going strong raising an additional $2,500 for kids since the contest ended. Thanks for all you do!

    I have a $100 Donors Choose Gift Card I will be giving away on Memorial Day. Every $1 you donate to my iPad 2 project will = 1 entry. $1 = 1, $5 =5 etc. If you are entering for a friend mention their name. If you bring new donors to Donors Choose I will double there impact by doubling their entries. Good luck! http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=571782&challengeid=33220

    This message is for Sarah and Laura–my prize winners for the Tie-Dye shirts! Please email me at sillysnicks@bellsouth.net so I can get an address for your beautiful shirt (once the rain stops and the shirts dry)!
    Thanks,
    Mrs. M
