Stamps-N-Lingers Fundraiser for Iowa – There’s Still a Few Hours Left!

Posted on August 31, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Wanted to just send a quick reminder that there’s still some time to help me help Iowa!

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Or Donate Directly!

There are two ways you can help me to reach my goal – and they’ll both get you an entry for a chance to win a brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!:

Shop Online: For any orders placed of $50+ placed through my online store by the time I check my e-mail tomorrow morning I’ll be donating 20% of your merchandise total to the Iowa Giving Crew.

20% of $50+ orders placed through my online store by will be donated to the Iowa Giving Crew.
You’ll earn Peppermint Points and a thank you gift from me with all orders of $50! See my host code details below.
Anyone ordering $50+ will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be given away on 1 September 2020! See the details below.

OR….

Make a Donation of $25+ directly to the Iowa Giving Crew:

Anyone worldwide is welcome to make a donation to the charity directly via Venmo or PayPal to help (see the details to donate on the Iowa Giving Crew website here).
For those in the US, send me a screenshot of the receipt for your donation of $25+ to the Iowa Giving Crew to stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net and you’ll be entered to win the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine* to be given away on 1 September! Have that receipt in my inbox by the time I check e-mails tomorrow morning! See the details below.

AND – If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! store AND also donate at least $25 directly to the Iowa Giving Crew, your name will be entered twice to win the machine!

Here’s the background on why I’m holding this fundraiser….

On 10 August, the state of Iowa was hit with a derecho storm. If you have seen any videos of it – it truly looked like a hurricane had hit Iowa. Uhm – because it totally had – winds in the 100+mph range (that’s Cat 2 territory, folks!) With no warning to speak of. To say it was devastating is a bit of an understatement! 🙁

As a result of the storm, at least 43% of the corn and soybeans grown in the state were lost. Which will be seen in the supermarkets where you and I get our food! But beyond all that – many in that state are hurting, have lost their homes, schools and businesses. Many farm families lost everything and are left with a huge mess to clean up prior to planting next spring. With so much destruction, they can really use our help!

There’s an organization in Cedar Rapids, IA, called the Iowa Giving Crew, a Cedar Rapids based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that’s helping to get power restored to those still waiting, is feeding those in need, provides 3 meals a day and is helping with the cleanup. They’ve got a Facebook page that you can see here with photos and details about the help they’re providing.

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine Giveaway

1 September!

As an added bonus, I’ll enter anyone who either orders $50+ through my online store between now and 31 August 2020 OR who makes a direct donation* to the Iowa Giving Crew by 31 August 2020 into a drawing for a brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

*Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses. Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine. Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight MT on 31 August 2020 to be entered to win the machine. One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Tuesday, 1 September from all of the entries received.

Questions?
Drop me an email at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net with any questions. I so appreciate your help and donations to help the good folks in Iowa!! #iowastrong #derecho2020

UPDATE!! Right now, we’re over $740! YEAH!!

Remember, there’s a SECOND Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine up for grabs! If we hit $1000 in combined donations by the end of the day TODAY (or before I check e-mails tomorrow morning!!) – then TWO people who place orders during the fundraiser will be receiving a brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!!

I’ll be checking my e-mail first thing tomorrow – adding any donations and orders that have come in overnight – then I’ll Spin the Wheel and announce our combined Donation AND the winner(s) of the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Thank you ALL for helping me to help these folks!
