We want to blamedrewscancer for cancer still existing
We decided to do the little bit we could do to help out Drew and the rest of the #blamedrewscancer team. They've got a Blame-a-thon coming up on September 9th and are raising money to give to Livestrong. If you're interested in helping out or winning something from the raffle, check out the info below (or click here):
On September 9, 2009, Blame Drew's Cancer presents its biggest event yet: the first annual Blame-a-Thon, a 24-hour event and benefit concert to unite Philadelphia and a live audience on the web in blaming cancer for everything. All proceeds and donations from the Blame-a-Thon will go directly to LiveStrong, the Lance Armstrong Foundation (blame-a-thon.com).
The Blame-a-Thon will kick off with a midnight-to-noon party at Old City co-working space Independent's Hall and continue with a noon-to-midnight benefit concert at the North Star Bar in Fairmount. The entire event will be streamed online by Live Stream (livestream.com).
Now you can be a part of the Blame-A-Thon in a brand new way, even if you’re not there in person (in Philly). While watching the livestream of our 24 hour event benefitting LIVESTRONG, you can win raffle prizes. Even if you’ll be at the event, you can win.
How?
#rafflegrabs
Every hour we’re going to give one cool prize away (for the entire 24 hours), that’s 24 potential prize winning opportunites?!?!?!?! Amazing.
Every hour, at the beginning of the hour, we will tweet and say on our stream what the prize is, who it’s from, etc. During that hour you can #blamedrewscancer for something and add the hashtag #rafflegrab for a chance win (one random blametweet will be picked each hour!). BUT you have to buy a raffle ticket.
$9 for the WHOLE day.
AND, it goes right to LIVESTRONG!
You can only win once per each #rafflegrabs ticket you buy (so buy up to 24!), but ALL of the prizes are worth it.
This ticket is not for the event, but for entry into the Raffles throughout the day. One ticket enters you in all of the raffles for the full 24-hours!
It's a great way to raise money for cancer, show your support, and win some great prizes!
Tickets for the North Star Bar portion of Blame-a-Thon are available for $15 at bit.ly/blameathon.
