a giveaway in honor of Preston!

The special  fundraising efforts for Preston formally end July 1st, so in one last effort to collect funds and get his picture out there one more time, I'm holding a very special giveaway!  (Other post about Preston - click here) The item for the giveaway is...

....a handmade Happy Birthday fabric banner!  I've sewn several now and love how they turn out.  This is the last of this color combo of banner (same as my own) and I love the happy, bright colors that can be used for any birthday - boy or girl.

This banner is approximately 8 feet long and each pennant is about 8 inches tall - a good size that will definately get the "Happy Birthday" sentiment out loud and clear!  Each letter is zig zag stitched on, adding even more promise that this banner will last through many birthdays to come. 

 

The details: 

*Simply leave a comment if you wish to be entered in the giveaway. 

That's it! While a donation to Preston/Reece's Rainbow isn't mandatory to enter, please consider doing so - any amount - big or small (tax deductible!).   Please use the donate button in the upper right corner - it goes directly to Reece's Rainbow and those funds are held in reserve for Preston's adoption fees.  I don't see who has donated or how much, so it's completely up to you.  For those who've already donated (we're at $294 as I type this! Woohoo!), just a leave a comment and thank you for already donating!

*Want another chance or two? For more entries, post on Facebook about this banner giveaway and leave another comment to let me know.  You can also post about it on your blog and link back to this giveaway (leave a comment about this as well). That makes three entries total if you desire.

Just as appreciated as a donation,  helping to spread the word about Preston and this organization is a needful service. You never know - Preston's future family may be connected to him through our efforts! 

*Giveaway begins today and ends June 16th at midnight. At that time, I'll gather the entries and the winner will be randomly selected. I will contact you if you're the lucky recipient! (please leave your email in your comment if you think I don't already have it) Contact me at ktalice (at) hotmail (dot) com if you have any questions!

I'm so glad I found this organization. They work tirelessly to find homes for special needs children around the world that aren't blessed with the same resources children here enjoy.  We just helped at the Special Olympics here in Southern California and it was amazing what wonderful support we recieve here in the States compared to many other countries that simply try to forget about those born with special needs.

In many of the countries these children are born in, the parents here the diagnosis of Down syndrome and the child is often rejected at the hospital. Most have never lived a non-orphanage/institutionalized life. If they only knew what we know about the positive potential and happiness these children bring! Whether or not you donate, please consider forwarding this information to those who may be interested. Maybe by Preston's next birthday, his forever family will have found him!

Good luck! And a big Thank you for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of Preston and the other deserving children!
