2010 Feast of Lights drive - in memory of Padra Sedai

[Kariada Kunai]

As you all know, we lost a very dear friend this year. Tricia Erickson, known to us as Padra Sedai, had been fighting breast cancer for a year and a half, and passed away this summer. In tribute to her, we are holding our Feast of Lights drive this year to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This drive is being held in memory of Tricia.

In addition to honoring our friend, you also have the opportunity to win some amazing prizes, including a special edition leather-bound copy of Towers of Midnight signed by Harriet McDougal and Brandon Sanderson. This is a pretty awesome prize to win, as I'm sure you all realize.

This drive is open to everyone who wants to participate, not just members of TarValon.Net. So please, pass the word to your friends and family.

And in order to help us spread the word throughout our community, we have some sig icons that you can use to show your support:

Please either include your Tower name as part of the display name in your donation, or email me at philanthropy@tarvalon.net when you donate, giving me your RL name if you wish to donate anonymously or do not wish your Tower name to be on the public page. We want to be able to track who contributes to our drives, so that we can recognize and thank you appropriately.

Also, funds donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure are tax-deductible -- you will get your receipt from them, since all funds are going directly to their organization.

It doesn't matter how much you donate. Any donation will put you in the drawing for prizes. And any amount will help us reach our goal, and help us to honor Tricia's memory. Thank you for your contributions. :grouphug

Oh, and yes, after a couple of attempts I even managed to donate :P. We're at over a 1000 dollars already :joy

 

[Kariada Kunai]

Yep, we're just at a week for this drive, and we've already broken $1,000! A third of the way to our goal!

Thank you everyone for your donations, and your support. Remember, even if you can only donate $5, it does add up. Really truly. And if you can't donate, but still want to help? Pass the word on to someone else instead!
