UPDATE ( 1JULY 2011):
Well all I can say is oops! Turns out Paypal frowns on using their payment process for raffles (which I understand in retrospect) - so we have to shift our benefit raffle for the American Red Cross to a different format! No worries, if you've already entered, you're still entered! From here on out we'll accept checks mailed to the studio (no credit card orders on this please). If you've not seen this yet, we've created a raffle of 3 fantastic prize packages in order to help the relief efforts in Japan as well as the storm ravaged Southern U.S. - AND we're pushing the deadline out 1 week to accommodate everyone!
Thanks,
xo Amy

Today I received an email about Amy Butler's latest endeavor - a raffle. The raffle is to raise money for The American Red Cross. I think this is a great idea and I am sure the prize will be great. Here is what the email said:
Hello Friends-
It has been three months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan and just over two months since the tornados and flooding throughout the Southern United States. They are slowly recovering and rebuilding from these disasters but help will be needed for years to come. I have put together a raffle to help support the relief efforts in these areas.
Here's the scoop on the raffle:
-Tickets are $10 each, purchased through paypal
-There will be 3 winners, each receiving a Sweet Life Bag full of goodies
-100% of the proceeds will be sent to The American Red Cross
-Tickets are on sale now through July 7th, Click Here or follow the directions below to get your tickets
-Any questions can be sent to mallory@amybutlerdesign.com
Please share this message with friends & family and on your blog or facebook page so everyone can get involved! Thank you so much for your help in this effort!
With love and gratitude,
Amy
