Thank you very much to everyone who participated in our Doctors Without Borders fundraiser. Together we’ve raised $7,150. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Also, a big thank you to Limegreen, Bregje, Rebecca and Reg for the extra prizes they’ve contributed.
To select the winners, I assigned each participant a number and then made a selection via a random number generator in the following order:
Diorissimo–update on 1/29: re-drawing the winner, because the first winner never responded and my emails bounced back. So, the new winner is Farrah.
Diptyque Volutes (Rebecca’s prize, barely used bottle)–the winner is Therese
Chanel No 5 parfum (Limegreen’s prize, barely used bottle)–the winner is Jane
Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin–the winner is Kay
Chanel Coco 50ml (Bregje’s prize, 95% full)–the winner is Dana
Since Reg is based in the UK and couldn’t mail her bottle outside of the country due to the regulations, I randomly selected a winner for Reg’s prize out of the UK participants.
Chanel Cristalle (Reg’s prize, vintage bottle, used)–the winner is Lucy
Added 1/22/2016: we also had an offer of a samples package from my reader Linda. I randomly selected a fundraiser participant, and the winner is Diana.
Congratulations! I will get in touch with you this week.
Our standard contest reminder: I reserve a right to select another person if the original winner doesn’t respond within 7 days.
