Frequently asked questions

How does this work?

For each $20 donated between March 18 and 29th through this page, we will add a "ticket" in the pot for each prize. So if you select $20 and a backpack, you'll get one ticket. If you give $60 and select skis, all your "tickets" will go in the skis pot. If you'd like to choose separate prizes, you'll need to do separate transactions - for example one $20 transaction for skis and one $20 transaction for backpack.
