Blog & Donate Jewelry for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Want to help those with blood cancer? Join me and help promote the 1st annual "Blogging for Blood Cancer " event that will take place August 11-18, 2008.

I am donating 5 pairs of handcrafted sterling earrings with a min. value of $25 to this worthy cause. On my maternal grandmother's side, the male members of the family have a genetic predisposition to leukemia and have passed on as early as 15 years of age!

Read on how easy it is to help by just blogging to raise awareness and share a personal story if you have one. Plus, if you have some extra handcrafted jewelry designs on hand why not donate them to be used as give aways for this worthy cause! Act fast and you will have the opportunity to win a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble too!

This first time event will bring bloggers from across the United States together to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The event is being hosted by Goodies for Mom in conjunction with the Friends of Heroes (FOH) National Light The Night Team .

All bloggers participating will have the opportunity to be entered to win prizes donated by event sponsors by leaving a Mr. Linky link on the Goodies for Mom post for the event. The event post will go up on August 11, 2008 at 8:00am. Even if you do not have a blog, visitors to the Goodies for Mom and Friends of Heroes blogs during the week will also have opportunities to win as they learn more about the importance of LLS’s research and patient services in the fight against blood cancer.

To help promote the event, anyone who puts a button or banner on their site, or writes a post about the event with a link back to this post, then leaves a link below on our Mr. Linky by midnight on August 10, 2008 will be entered for a chance to win a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card.
