Help Lexington and get some great prizes!

by Ben Self on October 28, 2011 in Events,Social Justice

Ever wondered how you can help make Lexington a better place, while getting some great prizes for yourself?

Well, wonder no more.  The Blue Grass Community Foundation and Smiley Pete Publishing (which produces Business Lexington, Chevy Chaser Magazine and Southsider Magazine) announced yesterday the GoodGivingGuide, a publication, accompanied by a website GoodGivingGuide.net, whose primary goal is to facilitate year-end giving to a cross-section of Lexington based non-profit organizations.

By donating to any of the non-profits listing on the site, you can help not only the cause you support, but also receive a ton of cool prizes.  If you give a total of $50, you get 10 prizes, including a cup of coffee, a game of bowling, a movie ticket, and a cup of tea.  If you give $100, you get all of that, plus a raffle ticket to win a car! And the prizes get even better from there.

But the timing is critical to the non-profits.  The first 3 non-profits to get to 50 donors, get an extra $1000 dollars.  There are additional bonuses for the most number of donors, the most money raised, and the most donors under 35.  Don’t delay — go over there and give right now.

So, go give $25 to a few non-profits today.  Because $25 may not mean a ton to you.  But to these non-profits, it means another year of doing the good work of making Lexington a better place.
