Menu for Hope: Feed the Hungry, Quench the Thirsty

Posted Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 09:55PM
We at ThisNext believe you can change the world with the power of good product. That’s why we’ve assembled just a few of our favorite products to help change through the world — through the power of cocktails! After all, who says you can’t simultaneously feed the hungry while sipping a smooth, sybaritic something-tini? We say you can; nay, you should.
 
For this year’s Menu for Hope program, we are offering up one swingin’ cocktail kit, representing some of the best imbibable inventory that’s been recommended on our site:
 

This party waiting to happen is worth approximately $150, but can be yours for as little as ten measly bucks! Wanna know how? Then read on!

Chez Pim’s third annual Menu for Hope program is a fundraising effort for the United Nations World Food Programme. Across the globe, food bloggers are donating products, services or even themselves for your bidding pleasure. Last year, this effort raised over $17,000 for UNICEF’s support for those affected by the massive earthquake in Northern India and Pakistan. This year, we are already well on our way to blowing that number out of the water.

Each $10 donation gets you one raffle ticket for the prize of your choice. Here’s how you can bid on the ThisNext swingin’ chocolate-orange cocktail party kit * (and dozens of other awesome prizes!):

  1. Go to the donation page at First Giving.
  2. Make a donation. Each $10 will give you one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. Please specify which prize(s) you’d like in the “Personal Message” section in the donation form when confirming your donation. If you are purchasing more than one ticket, be sure to specify how many tickets per prize, using the prize code. The code for this awesome cocktail kit is UW39.
  3. If your company matches your charitable donations, please remember to check the box and fill in the information so we can claim the corporate match.
  4. Please also check the box to allow us to see your email address so that we can contact you in case you win. Your email will not be shared with anyone.
  5. Check back on Chez Pim on January 15 when we announce the results of the raffle.

Remember — that code number is UW39. 

So what are you just sitting there for? Go bid on this once-in-a-lifetime chance to have the bestest cocktail kit ever and make the world a better place in the process. 

* Regrettably, we must restrict this prize to residents of North America only. Sorry!

Just wondering will you ship this to Ireland?

Hey Beccy -- Sam alerted me you were interested. Regrettably, we can only offer this prize to residents of North America. (I've updated the posting accordingly.) Sorry about that! But surely there's no shortage of quality booze in Ireland?

There's definitely no shortage of booze here in the Emerald Isle, it was more the shaker and glasses I had my eye on. Everything is very expensive and I don't drink cocktails that often so feel I can't justify buying a set like that as there are other more pressing things to spend my money on! Therefore it would be fabulous to win.

Now I'm wondering how heavy it is as I could get it shipped to Sam and ask Mum to bring it home next time she visits. You see I'm already assuming I'll win it!

Fantastic prize, well done.
