I’m really excited to be a part of Chateau Grrr’s “Cruise Against Lymphoma” Raffle. I mentioned this the other day, but now I’m free to promote it like crazy because tickets have gone on sale.
From now until 7 p.m. on Saturday August 14, 2010 you can buy a $25 raffle ticket which will give you a chance to win a trip aboard the 2010 Gothic Cruise. Here’s what that all entails:
- 7 night cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty
- Roundtrip from Miami, Florida with stops at Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Cozumel
- Private concerts for you and fellow Goth cruisers by Covenant, Funker Vogt, Panzer AG, and Prognosis
- Did we mention it’s an all you can eat and drink deal?
- And that’s just the half of it!
It’s a prize package valued at $1,300 but it could be all yours for $25! (You’ll still have to pay for getting too and from Miami, but the cruise itself can be all yours for only $25!)
BENEFITS THE LYMPHOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION
Chad from Chateau Grrr (who is the one generously supplying the cruise) has also generously agreed to donate all proceeds past $350 to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. (You may recall they were my charity of choice during the HJ Anniversary Bash.)
Why $350? Well, that’s what Carnival Cruise Lines charges for the processing fee to transfer the ticket to the winner’s name.
But anything collected above and beyond that goes to LRF. Pretty cool. That’s a charity near and very dear to my heart, so I’m deeply grateful to Chad for letting me pick it and for being willing to donate to them.
HOW TO BUY YOUR TICKET
Click on over to the Cruise Against Lymphoma Raffle site. You’ll find the “Buy Now” buttons there. As well as the complete official rules.
If I wasn’t going to just be getting back from a cruise right then, I would try to go on this one. (Something I believe I alluded to when I wrote about paranormal cruises earlier this year.)
So what are you waiting for? If you want to get your Goth on on a super cruise, this is the one for you. And all for only $25…have I already mentioned that? (It’s such a steal! Not to mention it’ll help a good cause.)
Oh, and it’d be fantastic if you could help spread the word about this. Thanks!
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
Great Fundraiser. Thanks for letting us know about it!
Welcome! Glad you found it interesting!
