Here's my most recent fundraiser to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society:
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am raffling off a three
night stay at my mother-in-law's lakeside cottage in Upstate NY.
A $10 donation to my Leukemia and Lymphoma Society webpage buys you a chance
(two chances for $15!) to stay at this beautiful secluded spot on Owasco Lake,
one of New York's famous Finger Lakes, during the off-season (September-June)!
Just so you know, my mother-in-law usually rents this out for $400-$600 for the
same amount of time!
If that's not good enough, here are some additional perks: the cottage
is both kid and dog friendly, and the winner has the option of
extending their stay - based on availability - in exchange for an
additional donation to my webpage!
The cottage is small but cozy, and has a kitchenette, two bedrooms, a
full bath, and a living room with satellite TV and wireless internet,
if you choose to bring a laptop. The bedrooms sleep 4 total and the
living room has a pull-out couch, which allows you to add an
additional 1-2 people if you don't mind being squished. The cottage
has its own deck that provides lovely views of the lake (I
particularly enjoy being out there at sunset!), and is just a few feet
away from a private staircase that leads directly to the lake. Down
there, you can hold a bonfire on the beach, canoe, or kayak (provided
the water isn't too cold).
If you want to do more than sit by the water and enjoy the beauty of
your surroundings, some nearby attractions include museums and historical
sights, vineyards and winetrails, the charming town and great shops of Skaneateles,
and bigger cities such as Rochester and Syracuse. I'm pretty sure that the nearest
place to ski is about an hour away, but if you're a ski enthusiast, let me know and
I can double-check for you.
If you are interested, you can do the following:
1. Check out the photos above.
2. Enter the raffle by visiting my fundraising webpage and donating
$10 for one chance or $15 for 2.
3. Send me an email at autumn.yates@yahoo.com to let me know that
your donation is for the raffle. I will send a reply confirming that
I received your message and donation.
It's that simple! I will pull the winning ticket on Sunday, October
5th, so that the winner still has some weekends to choose from if they
want to use the cottage in the fall. Make sure you buy your chance
now before it's too late, and thank you for supporting my fundraising
efforts!
