So back on September 6th, we announced our Pay It Forward raffle. We created this raffle on the two year anniversary of Hurricane Irma as a way to pay it forward and help the people of the Bahamas who were affected by Hurricane Dorian.
In just 24 hours, we raised more than $80,000. We were stunned as were many of you. Well today, I am excited to tell you that we have already sent $150,000 to All Hands and Hearts, a nonprofit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. We chose to support All Hands and Hearts because of the tremendous impact they had on this island following hurricanes Irma and Maria.
So today, I am asking you to be a part of something amazing. Our raffle ends tomorrow, so please purchase your tickets soon.
When I created this raffle, I was hoping to raise $30,000 over the two-week raffle period. I now hope to top $200,000. We’re so close folks. Please help me make that goal!
