Thread: DOB Chase For a Cure 2006 - Sponsored by VodaHost!

Okay, Voda Land, are you ready to win a great prize and help an even greater cause while you're at it?

If you are a VodaHost customer or a potential VodaHost customer, we have something of particular interest for you!

The Chase For a Cure is a contest we're running based on the NASCAR ****** Chase For the Championship and it's designed to benefit cancer research.

Here's the fun part - the Prizes!

With the help of our sponsor, VodaHost, we're able to offer the eventual winner his or her choice of five different prizes, all valued at $100 or higher. They are as follows:

1. FREE domain name registration and one year FREE hosting at VodaHost.com! You read that right! Win this thing and VH will foot the bill for you to publish your new site! For all of you who are considering VH but feel you can't afford the low, low cost of hosting, this is an excellent opportunity for you! If the eventual winner chooses this prize, he or she will also receive a $50 gift card to NASCAR.com, Ebay or QVC. Total value = $170.
2. $100 gift certificate to the NASCAR.com Superstore.
3. $100 gift certificate to Ebay.com.
4. $100 gift certificate to QVC.com.
5. One year paid membership to the Official NASCAR Member's Club.

How it works:

Go to the Chase home page here. Take a look at that page and the rules page to get an idea how the whole thing works, and then proceed to the picks page to make your predictions. The object is to correctly guess the final finishing order of NASCAR's Top Ten.

Anyone over the age of 18 may play, and you may play as often as you like. We have one stipulation, however - to participate, you must make a one dollar donation, which will be donated to cancer research. Making your donation is easy: once you've made your selections and pressed Submit, you'll be taken to a page where you can make your donation through us. (The donation is required each time you play.)

We hope you'll all come out to try to win a prize, but more importantly, we hope you'll join us in supporting a cause that has affected nearly all of us in one way or another.

And a great big THANK YOU to VodaHost for stepping forward and helping us to make this possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or on the thread at the Days Of Blunder Forum: Click here

One question I do anticipate getting, so I'll answer it right now. We're sorry, but if you don't have a credit card or a Paypal account, you will be unable to participate. Given the short length of time the contest will be open to join, we simply can't process any other forms of payment for the donations.

And well you should! LOL There will be a winner regardless how many people actually participate and so far not too many people have participated, so your odds are looking good!

Ahhh they will come...then my odds will be less but thats ok cos its for a good cause....many peoples lives have been affected in one way or another with this *******...including mine, so anything that raises funds for research into curing cancer...well ...i'm in there and i'm sure most people feel the same ....so ...they will come :o)

Thank you! Cancer has taken several of my family members and friends and this is our little way of helping to fight it. Every single penny helps.

This is a very great and worthy cause. We are very honoured to be
your sponsors.

A word to whoever is reading this.....

Nobody plans to get Cancer, it just happens…One day your fine and the
next day your screwed….We always see it happening to the other guy, to
the person on T.V. Not until it hits us or it hits the ones we love do we take
notice of this horrible killer.

Please participate in this very worthy cause. (Because You Never Know)

Hi, I've played, but would play more, but do you have to do pay pal one at a time? Like if I could do a bundle for $5.00 more dollars or so I would, seems a shame doing it individually for $1.00 .... Let me know, either way I will play some more .....

Great cause, great contest, great people doing a great job! Thanks!

There will also be announcements here and at the DOB Members Club.

How do you think it did, Race? Hope it was a success and you raised heaps of money!
