Donate to Charity and Win Some Awesome Stuff!

Submitted by on

Why hold a giveaway?

Well, we thought it was time to give back to our readers, so what better way than to shower them with free stuff? However, this giveaway is not without purpose. In recent news, I'm sure you've heard about the devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. So, in an effort to raise more funds for the relief effort (every little bit helps), we want to encourage people to donate to charitable organizations, as well as to reward those who do.

The Prizes

This is where we get to the good part. So, what can you win if you choose to participate? Well, thanks to a bunch of awesome folks, we are able to provide you with these great prizes.

Wacom Bamboo Craft Tablet


The folks over at Wacom were kind enough to donate a Bamboo Craft tablet for us to give away to one lucky winner. Be sure to check out the product page.
