Raffle for Knitters Without Borders

More details below. Until I can get a cable for my big camera, here's a shot from my mobile phone. STR in Knitters without borders.

This is a raffle for one skein of Socks That Rock in the Knitters Without Borders colourway. There are two skeins up for grabs (so two chances to get a skein of the STR). You may purchase as many raffle tickets as you would like. The draw will take place on May 15th. All money from you raffle tickets will be donated to Knitters Without Borders, and a list of all your names will be sent on to Knitters Without Borders as well (I believe the Yarn Harlot also has a prize draw from time to time for donaters).

So not only are you getting a chance to get an exclusive colourway from STR, but you are also supporting a wonderful and important organisation. I'll keep a running tab of the donation pot on the home page of Socktopus and if I can figure it out, on the side bar of the shop blog.
To enter your name, purchase one or more tickets on the site (each ticket enters your name in once, so 2 tickets gets your name in twice, three tickets your name in three times, etc) and checkout in the usual way. I'll keep a list of your names and donation amounts which will be sent to the Yarn Harlot after the draw.

A little background: Knitters Without Borders was born as a response to the tsunami disaster on December 26th 2004, but exists to fundraise for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders.

In case you aren't familiar with MSF, the Yarn Harlot has a page here: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/tsffaq.html which tells you all about this great organisation (which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999!).

In short (and copied straight fromt the Yarn Harlot): MSF is a medical relief organization dedicated to bringing help to people in the worst circumstances in the world. MSF goes where other relief organizations (NGO's) will not. Where circumstances are the most desperate, the most dangerous and the most hopeless... you will find Médecins Sans Frontières. MSF is transparent and neutral without any political or religious affiliations, and does not accept donations from Pharmaceutical companies or companies that make Tobacco or Alcohol. Part of their job is to witness and report violations of human rights and dignity. MSF helps all persons who need them, regardless of their race, religion, politics or gender. Since its inception Knitters Without Borders has raised a staggering $434 439.41.

Get ready, get set, GO raise some HOPE & RELIEF!!
