We'd like to help them reach their goal of making 44,000 bright & cheerful pillowcases (20 miles), each one representing a child currently in treatment, by hosting a pillowcase drive. The recipient of this drive will be the Conkerr Cancer chapter in Milwaukee, WI. To enter, all you have to do is make two pillowcases per Conkerr Cancer's specifications, and send them to us here at Arrow. This time we are offering first, second and third place prizes! Our first prize winner will receive one of our adorable thread caddies, and the two runners-up will receive a rolling tote!
We have listed the complete rules below, please read them over carefully, and if you have any questions, email us at rebecca@arrowcabinets.com.
With your help, we know that we can make lots of smiles for some sick kids!
The Rules (please read carefully):
1. Make two pillowcases following the guidelines posted here on the ConKerr Cancer website: http://conkerrcancer.org/pillowdirections.html Remember, these are for kids, so
they should be bright and cheery (you may think that rose print fabric
is the bomb, but trust us, the kids won't)!
2. Wash your cases, seal them in a ziploc bag, and mail them to us at:
Arrow Cabinets
PO Box 410
Elkhorn, WI 53121
Elkhorn, WI 53121
Please make sure you include your name and return address! Pillowcases
from pet-friendly homes are great, just make sure you bag them
immediately after they are washed and dried.
3. Cases need to be received by Tuesday, Sept. 23rd, 2014 to be eligible.
4. We will select a one random winner from the eligible entries to receive a thread caddy, and two random winners will each receive a new rolling tote!
If you can swing it, we'd love to get some pictures of you with your
finished pillowcases to post on our Facebook page ( this is not a
requirement for entering). Please feel free to share this contest with
all of your sewing friends, we'd love to have to rent a truck to
deliver these!
If you'd like more information on ConKerr Cancer, please visit their website at www.conkerrcancer.org.
Looking forward to it! Will be whipping mine up this week!
