Giving Tuesday: Guten Cabin Stay Giveaway!!
UPDATE 11/29/17: We want to thank everyone who supported this fundraising effort. We didn’t gain enough traction with it early on to show that it will pencil out for the best benefit to the charities. We have decided to suspend the contest and instead our family will be making direct donations to each of the three organizations. We will be back in the future with other fundraisers and contests, so stay tuned. Thanks again!!
Happy Giving Tuesday! If you haven’t heard of it, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been dubbed Giving Tuesday. It may not get the same amount of hype as Black Friday and Cyber Monday (or even Small Business Saturday), but Giving Tuesday is a great way to circle back to the idea of giving thanks.
With that in mind, we are excited to announce the Guten Cabin Stay Giveaway donation contest. We are giving away a 3-night stay at Guten Cabin for your weekend of choice in March or April 2018 (subject to availability).
The only catch is that we ask you to make a small charitable donation. Our family has chosen three organizations that we are big fans of and created $5 donation products for each one in The Store here on the cabin website. Please take a minute to read through the descriptions and pick your favorite and then purchase a $5 donation. For each donation purchase you make, you will be entered into a sweepstakes drawing for a free 3-night stay at Guten Cabin.
There is no limit to how many entries you can make by donations. For example, if you purchase a quantity of 10 ($50 worth of donations) you will have 10 entries in the drawing. The entry period to the contest will end on Tuesday, December 5th at 9 pm. The winner will be drawn and contacted on Wednesday, December 6th.
To make your stay special, we received gift card donations from Munchen Haus, Icicle Brewing Company and Old Mill Cafe. These cards will be waiting for you at the cabin in a gift basket along with goodies and gear from Plain Hardware gift shop. Big thanks to all these great local businesses for donating!
As a bonus, for the charity that receives the largest number of donations, our family will be making an additional $100 donation! All of the proceeds from the donations (minus the credit card processing fees) will be given to the respective charities on Wednesday, December 6th. There are no administrative fees or other hidden fees. Everything we receive will be donated directly to those organizations.
Also, be sure to share this on Facebook. If one of your friends wins, you will be a shoe-in to be a guest during their stay. Hey, while you are there, give us a like. Occasionally we have an open rental weekend that we exclusively offer discounts on to our Facebook fans and email subscribers.
NEXT STEP: Check out the charities we chose in The Shop and pick your favorite to make your donation and entry!
Thanks!
