Over the weekend, I have managed to look for sponsors to sponsor an item for the super-fun contest which will be held here on Pink for October throughout the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I did not expect people to be so generous, and I am indeed touched by the willingness and generosity of the people I have met.
Dana P. @ PeaPod Studio is sponsoring a Go Pink for October mug. Dana has also written a special Ways to Support Breast Cancer Awareness page on her site. Dana lost her mother, grandmother and cousin to the disease — read about her story here.
Bhavesh R. @ PremiumThemes.net is sponsoring a single-use premium theme available on PremiumThemes.net. The lucky winner may choose one of the many professional, classy and pretty single-use premium themes. Please note that you are NOT allowed to distribute/sell the theme.
Rob L. @ Bloggeries is sponsoring a blog review to one of our lucky winners. Rob writes very good reviews, you may check out his blog reviews here. Rob also runs a blogging forum and a blog directory.
Jacob C. @ Just Creative Designs is offering something very different — a 30-minute design consultation session via Skype or email — to one of our winners. Please get your design-related questions ready! :D
Selene B. @ iDesign Studios is offering a banner ad design (static / non-animated ad) to one of our winners.
Sharon H. @ Mana Moon Studios is sponsoring a woven wire beaded bracelet. This specially-designed bracelet will feature a gorgeous floral focal and a selection of accompanying beads along with a pink ribbon bead that symbolizes breast cancer awareness. The bracelet will be created using an original woven wire technique and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Sharon is also selling some Pink for October Etsy shop banners and all proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Moon @ Custom Moonlight Designs is sponsoring a pair of handmade earrings named “Hearts and Tears“, designed with the contest in mind and inspired by “one tear of fear one tear of triumph”. The hearts symbolize the spirit of the fight and the friends and family who fight along side.
Lisa C. @ Polka Dot Cottage is sponsoring a pretty pink choker she named “Tile Necklace in Crabapple Floral“. If you have time, do check out Lisa’s Etsy shop too because she has quite a few other pretty handmade earrings and necklaces :D
Emily @ Swank Web Style Design Studio is sponsoring a year of webhosting, which includes 200MB disk space, 10GB monthly bandwidth, 5 addon domains and 5 MySQL databases. This is the perfect package for new bloggers or individuals wanting a small, personal website.
Catherine @ La Perle Jewellery is sponsoring a pair of gemstone earrings for the contest. Also, check out Catherine’s Etsy shop if you can, because she has some unique earrings and necklaces! :D
Hayley T. @ Cancer Survivor Stuff will be sponsoring not one, but two Survivor Buffs®. These are the original Buffs® that is used on the TV Show “Survivor”. Buff® is the brand name of an innovative, multi-functional garment and it is useful, comfortable, fun and it protects your head from the cold, wind and sun. Plus, it can be worn as a scarf, cap, headscarf or headband with complete freedom and comfort. May be used with or without chemo.
Laurie and Nikki @ Our3Day is giving away a pretty Lean Cuisine Lunch Tote to one lucky contest winner. The pretty lunch totes come in 3 different patterns – Patchwork, Pink Zebra and Floral Swirl.
To all our sponsors, thank you very much! :D Without your generosity, there would be no contest! So if you haven’t bookmarked Pink for October, what are you waiting for? I’ll be back on Thursday, October 2nd, with our first contest. See you then! :D
If you’d noticed, we have more sponsors now than we have contests (remember I was planning on 2 contests per week, on Mondays and Thursdays, for four weeks?). But that shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll figure things out along the way. I’m sure.
P/S: We are no longer accepting sponsorships because we now have 4 extra prizes, and I need to think of more contests so that those prizes can be given away before October ends. And I’m not exactly a creative person, LOL.
