Awesome Opportunity! · 05-19-2006, 04:08 PM

I just got this email from Wood Magazine. Follow this link for full details.
I think that this would be an incredible opportunity and it's for an excellent cause.

Use your talent to win amazing prizes...and help find cures for childhood illnesses.

You could win $5,000 worth of woodworking tools and accessories from Peachtree Woodworking Supply Inc. or one of many incredible prizes and help to raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by entering WOOD magazine’s Build-A-Gift Contest.
All woodworkers are encouraged to enter. There are 25 different ways to win. Winners will be featured in the February/March 2007 issue of WOOD magazine and on WOOD online.

After judging, the handcrafted gifts you enter in WOOD magazine’s Build-A-Gift Contest will be sold at both a live and online auction to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Their mission is to find cures for children with catastrophic illnesses through research and treatment regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

So, when you enter your gift, not only do you have a chance to win a great prize, you are giving the gift of hope to the next generation.
