One creative way to help charity.

Posted November 17th, 2008

Donate to charity, win a prize!

This is unbelievable.

Jacob Cass is currently running a contest on his design blog with prizes totaling over $11,000! But this isn’t your average blog contest. No, this contest is all about helping charity through user donations.

Readers enter the contest by making a donation to charity.

Jacob has come up with an incredible setup for this contest, and it goes to show how a little creativity can really help charities with very little effort. Users offered prizes for the contest, and users enter the contest by paying to charity. Jacob is merely the mediator of the contest entries.

When I say that this is an incredible contest, I really mean it.

There are a total of 67 prizes, with a total value of over $11,000. If Jacob could raise $11,000 worth of prizes for his contest, can you imagine how much he could raise for charity?

Rather than just running an average, enter and win contest, Jacob has created something that doesn’t just benefit contest entrants, but also charities!

The true reach of this contest could be immense!
