Win an iPad
From now until September 3rd, 2010, every $25 donation will automatically enter you in a raffle to win a brand new iPad or one of four $100 Apple gift cards. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to replace the dilapidated couches in our student apartments. Board member Ara Chackerian is matching every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 – so we only need two hundred $25 donations to reach our goal. We are capping the raffle at two hundred entries, so you will have a 1-in-40 chance of winning a prize! The drawing will be held on September 4th, and we will notify the winner via email and phone. Help us by spreading the word (we have raffle info on our Facebook and Twitter pages), and good luck! Click here to donate.
