List of Raffle Prizes for Fund Drive (Vaidehi Ashram of Destitute Girls, Hyderabad)

A Big, Heartfelt Thank You to all my blogger friends who responded to my request and came forward with their amazing raffle prizes. Love you all. Trust me, from Ice cream makers to Cookbooks to Amazon Kindle to Gift Hampers, we have it all :-)

Before we go to the list, a brief overview of how the Fund Drive will work -

1 raffle ticket = 10$ or 500Rupees.

1. For Example - If a donor contributes 50$ or 2500Rs, then he/she can avail 5 raffle tickets which can be used to bid on any of the raffle prizes below. One can use all 5 on one prize (in turn increasing the chances in the lucky draw) or on different raffle prizes. At the very end, a randow drawing will be conducted  by the Ashram kids to decide who gets each of the raffle prize(s).

2. Once the Fund Drive kickstarts on January 26th 2012, those of you, who would like to contribute  (Click here for more details about the various payment options) choose your raffle prize(s) and after your donations are complete, please send me an email to info(dot)siri(at)gmail(dot)com with the raffle prize details that you would like to choose.

3. As soon as I receive your email, I will add your name to the Fund Drive Contributors List along with the raffle code names..

4. Random drawing will be conducted and winners for each of the raffle prizes will be announced on Monday, February 27th 2012.

It is as simple as that. If you have got any queries/questions or concerns, please use the comment section or shoot me an email.
