By donating, this awesome accessory could be yours
Interested in a chance to win premium wine accessories while helping out a phenomenal cause? With the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes the beginning of Movember, a month-long mustache-filled extravaganza. We’re taking no-shave November and putting it to a great cause, the awareness and research of prostate cancer and men’s health.
To raise money for the cause, tens of thousands of men across the nation are giving their upper lips a hirsute workout. The Raleigh-Durham team has already raised over $13,000 a third of the way through November, but we can do better!
That’s where the prizes come in.
For every 5 dollars you donate to my Mospace page in the month of November, you get one entry into a drawing for one of over a dozen fantastic prizes!
Grand Prize: The Ravi Instant Wine Chiller (retail price of $50)
Second Prize: Porto Port Sipper Decanter Set (retail price of $40)
Third Prize: Oenophilia Stainless Steel Wine Chiller (retail price of $30)
Honorable Mention (three prizes): Oenophilia Oeno Pull (retail price of $30)
If you don’t win one of those, don’t worry.
There are plenty of consolation prizes in the works.
Plenty of fantastic prizes beyond the grand prize!
Nolita 4 Bottle Wine Rack (retail price of $30)
Menu Selection Aerating Pourer (retail price of $20)
Ostrich-Leather-Style 8 Ounce Flask (retail price of $20)
Varietal Stopper Set: Bordeaux, Chardonnay, Merlot (retail price 0f $20)
Varietal Stopper Set: Cabernet, Shiraz, Zinfandel (retail price of $20)
Fusion 4 Compact Stemware Rack (retail price of $17)
Courtesan Wood & Pewter Wine Stopper Set (retail price of $15)
Oenophilia Wine Preserver Pump Set (retail price of $10)
Of course, we’re not going to let a good deed go unrewarded. If all the prizes are given away, we’ve still got a gift set consisting of a tasting guide and a waiter’s corkscrew for anyone who donates and doesn’t luck out. Basically, if you contribute $5, you’re getting more back regardless of whether you win. If you contribute $10 or $20 or even more, you’re just getting more and more chances to win a top prize.
So donate now! Just visit my Mospace page and click “Donate to Me.” Make sure you leave a message with either your Twitter handle or your email address so that I can contact you for shipping information for your prize.
Thank you all,
Josh
