Godlyke Distributing is running a raffle of sorts to aid the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. For every dollar donated, you get a chance to win one of four really nice pedals. Donate $10, get ten chances to win.
100% of the funds raised will be donated to MercyCorps – a non-profit organization that is actively involved in the relief efforts “on the ground” in Japan. MercyCorps applies 88% of all funds collected from donations to carry out relief efforts across the globe. This is a very high percentage, especially when compared with some of the higher-profile charities out there that utilize 10-12% on average for the cause, and the remainder to pay for salaries and other operating expenses.
To enter, simply click here, fill out the secure donation form, and click “submit.”
