Chipper, at www.coffeekids.org, pulled a name out of the "virtual hat" to raffle off the first prize of the Coffeekids Raffle...
The winner is Marc of New Hampshire!
Of course Coffeekids is a winner too, collecting $269.
I would really like to see Coffeekids "win" a little more..like how about another $250 or $500.
A Fifty Dollar Sweetmaria's Gift certificate will be raffled off on Friday, December 23rd.. If over 50 people donate by then, a second certificate will be raffled, etc.
It has been a hard year for Coffee growers...
During this holiday season, what better way to make your cuppa taste a bit clearer and fuller than to give a modest holiday gift to Coffeekids.
To be eligable to participate in the raffle(s) go to www.coffeekids.org donation page here Fill in the form REMEMBERING to fill in the COMPANY FIELD with the words DIVERSITY RAFFLE , thus indentifying you as a raffle participant. You must donate a minimum of $5.00 to participate in the raffle
I am hoping that our community can embrace the larger coffee community in an act that is more than donating to charity. A donation to Coffeekids helps create social infrastructure that aids coffeegrowing families achieve more independance and better lives.
Best to all, Myron (ed note: made it a sticky, and changed the title to reflect the post)

Either i'm doing something stupid, or the donation form is broke, every time i click the "Continue to secure checkout" I get left on a blank page (the url is http://www.coffeekids.org/donate/transfer.php) I get this in both IE & Firefox.

If you have continued problems with the donate now page, I would suggest emailing Chipper at Coffeekids.org. Tell him the problem, give him your contact info, amount you want to donate WITHOUT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO !!
You can call him or fax him to continue the process.
Since i donate from overseas, i don't get past that page either..so i always contribute in this fashion.
