A Kamoka Pearl for only $10? - Maybe....

[DavidL]

Great charity and the travel bloggers really put out some great incentives to donate.

[KauaiAnne]

Bidding on the very cool Kamoka necklace and anklet (http://coconutradio.blogspot.com/201...und-three.html) closes at midnight PST this Friday 12-16-11. Which P-Ger is going to win it this year?

[GemGeek]

Hope it's me!

[Pearl Dreams]

They're at 94% of their goal! They must have had a lot of donations today.

Edit: They have reached 100% of their goal-- $80,000!

[DavidL]

Anyone here the lucky winner???

[Pearl Dreams]

Winners will be notified on Dec. 24 according to a previous posting on the Passports with Purpose website.

As of midnight Dec. 16th they had received $89,159 !!

I am so delighted! And I hope someone from here wins!

[GemGeek]

Heh Heh - I STILL hope it's me!

[KauaiAnne]

So did anyone here get it? Not me (again), but I did win a walking tour. Now I have to get myself to one of the fabulous cities where they are offered.

[waimeamomi]

I didn't. I won a Sony camera, that I didn't know I bid on. I'd like to see the list, because I must have checked the wrong box!!!! In any case, it will come in handy, or make a nice gift and I love supporting this cause. I think it's an amazing way to help our world neighbors.

[Pearl Dreams]

Congratulations KauaiAnne and waimeamomi! But don't give up yet-- the winners are contacted by the individual blogger who offered the prize. Perhaps the pearl winner has not yet been contacted.

[waimeamomi]

Sorry to burst your Pearl Dreams (lol), but I was contacted by Passports along with the donor, and then the donor contacted me. I think everyone has been notified, because if you don't claim your prize in 3 days you lose your prize.

[Pearl Dreams]

Hmm, I checked my email folders and I see you are right about that-- the email from PWP preceded the one from Celeste (last year, to clarify!)

[Josh]

Good job Sheryl and Anne! Sheryl that's funny about your accidental camera. The winner was from Washington State so it looks like she is not a PG member (yet?).

[KauaiAnne]

It's back - your chance to win a lucious Kamoka pearl for as little as $10! Just look at the beauty Josh and Celeste put forward this year: http://coconutradio.blogspot.com/

Best of all, the proceeds of this charity raffle are going to Haiti to provide new wells. Go to the Passports with Purpose website and donate for you chance to win this beautiful pearl and dozens of other prizes donated by travel bloggers and their sponsors. http://passportswithpurpose.org/donate/ The annual fundraising event continues until midnight December 11th. Their goal this year is to raise $100,000. Josh and Celeste have participated each year of this annual event, and I must say the pearls keep getting better and better.

The first two years, people from Pearl-Guide won the Kamoka pearls. Last year we slipped up and let some interloper waltz off with the prize. Time to take it back! But remember, you have to beat me first!
