contest: ana bagayan's "silence" giclee

[ally]

hi everyone,

i'm helping ana and her friend mere raise much needed funds to help feed the many homeless in LA. every week, they drive into the city and personally hand out brown bag lunches they've made. EVERY WEEK! as you can imagine, this can be pretty expensive.

i thought it would be amazing for you guys to get a chance at ana's latest print of "silence" (her stunning piece for gallery 1988's crazy for cult show)

ana is giving 2 of these large prints away to 2 lucky winners yes! you have 2 chances to win!!!

donate just $10.00, as many times as you wish, and ana will draw the winners personally. ***

to enter, please paypal [e-mail]
be sure to put "SILENCE" as the subject

we will collect entries until next monday, the 20th, and a winner will be drawn next week.

this is your chance to win an amazing print for as little as $10.00, but more importantly, help out some people who are less fortunate and wake each morning often looking for their breakfast in a dumpster...
each donation feeds 5 people, so please buy a few spots!

you can read more at lunchbunchco.blogspot.com/

im also organizing a large art fundraiser with ana that will be hosted on etsy in the next few weeks. we will have prints and original art for sale with all proceeds going to lunch bunch.

if you can donate anything art related, please contact me! as soon as we get that together i'll post info here.

thank you, and good luck to everyone who enters.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has entered the raffle so far and to the artists that have contributed prints for Ally's fundraiser. And of course, a BIG thank you to Ally for randomly emailing me and offering to organize the raffle and fundraiser! We have raised a good deal of money for Lunch Bunch and we'll be able to make even more lunches than usual this week with everyone's contributions.

I just finished making the prints, and I am very happy with the print quality

We will keep accepting raffle donations until the 20th. You can also enter by clicking the Donate buttons on our blog: lunchbunchco.blogspot.com/

I've only just seen this thread, so probably missed the cut-off as I have just sent money. I don't care as it's great to see work being done for such a good cause. I contribute to a similar charity here called Shelter.

does anyone know what the current status of this is? Last I heard there was some problem with doing the raffle though paypal but not really any indication of what the solution was going to be.

[anabagayan]

It is happening as planned, I just had to work around a paypal loophole. I will extend the entry date to midnight tonight, if anyone here still wants to enter. I had to change the 'donate' buttons on the Lunch Bunch blog to a 'buy now' system so you can use that to enter. The blog is here: lunchbunchco.blogspot.com/

Sorry for the confusion! It's been frustrating for us as well.
