The Pen Addict Raffle for St. Jude has become epic, especially with all of the new goods added today. If you have already supported St. Jude and sent in your receipt, you are eligible for these goods as well, but if you haven’t, then now may be the time to think about it.
Here is what’s new, and then read below to find out how you can help out St. Jude Children’s Hospital and possibly win some cool stationery.
The Montegrappa Venetia Fountain Pen - Rio Di San Marcuola is a Flax Pen to Paper exclusive, and they have sent two (!) or these pens for the raffle. One raffle winner will receive the Venetia with a Fine Steel nib, and another will receive the Venetia with a Medium Steel nib.
In addition, Flax Pen to Paper has sent three sets of their exclusive Troublemaker Inks, with each set featuring one bottle of Into the Depths, Sage Green, and Momo Mochi. I will be selecting three different raffle winners, each of whom will receive one set of three inks.
Retro 1951 has pulled some pens directly from the archives to help us raise money for St. Jude.
First up is the A.A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh - Tornado Collector's Set, marked with Serial #1. That’s right, the first of this set will go to one lucky raffle winner.
Retro 51 has also provided the #1’s of other Winnie the Pooh products: the 100 Aker Wood Fountain Pen, Decorations Fountain Pen, and Decorations Rollerball. Each of these pens will be raffled off to individual winners.
The Rockwall is one of the core designs from Tactile Knife Co., and was donated to this raffle by EDC guru Anthony from Everyday Commentary.
The Nona 14 is a beautiful, faceted, 9-sided fountain pen barrel, made by London Pen Co. This model is turned from Primary Manipulation 1 from Carolina Pen Co., and features an Extra Fine Steel Jowo nib.
Abidel released a new print for the Orlando Pen Show, “Seahorse III,” and provided me with print number 6 of 15 to raffle off to one winner.
So, how can you help out the kids at St. Jude, and have a chance at winning some great prizes? Here you go:
- For every $10 you donate via the Relay FM for St. Jude 2023 page, you will receive one entry into the raffle. You are not limited to how much you donate, or how many entries you have. For example, $20 donated = 2 entries. $100 donated = 10 entries. We are trying to raise as much money as possible for the kids, so go wild! Donations made through Relay FM affiliated Community Campaigns are also eligible.
- After you donate, forward a copy of your donation receipt, or a screenshot including the amount and date of donation to stjude@penaddict.com with 2023 Raffle in the Subject line. Only donations timestamped on or after September 4th at 9 a.m. Eastern, and before 11:59 p.m. on September 26th, are eligible.
- All entries will be added to a spreadsheet after September 26th, and Random.org will be used to select the winners.
- All winners will be contacted directly via email, if selected.
Helping to raise funds for St. Jude is one of the highlights of my year. Their work is important and impactful, and I appreciate your support of this great cause.
