The Pen Addict for St. Jude - That’s A Wrap!

Thanks to your support, The Pen Addict community raised over $36,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital this September. That’s nothing short of amazing, and helped pushed the Relay campaign over $1 Million Dollars this year alone! That’s mind blowing stuff, and I can’t thank each and every one of you enough for your support.

Winners of this year’s giveaways have all been emailed as of yesterday, and I will begin coordinating shipments this week, and into next. And finally, a special shout-out to everyone who donated products or services to help out this year. It is greatly appreciated!

The Pen Addict for St. Jude, Week Four!

We are entering the homestretch in this month of raising money for St. Jude, and I’m back with another batch of goods to add to what has been donated already.

First up, if you haven’t seen everything listed so far, take a look at these links:

Week One

Week Two

Week Three

For Week Four, I’m adding in some mystery bags! Ok, they aren’t a complete mystery because you can see the items below, but here is the plan: FIVE individual winners will each receive a package with at least one pen case, one ink, one notebook, one Penquisition pen cup or pen holder, and two Penquisition fidget toys. That’s a lot of awesomeness!

In that vein, THREE additional winners will each receive one Yachingstyle Suede Pen Box. The rows in this box are extra long to help accommodate glass dip pens, and well as standard pens, and the lid features a unique magnet flap which can easily be removed from one side, or both.

Finally, in addition to the nib grinds listed in Week Two, Damien from All in the Nib has but this amazing Steel Stacked Nib, ground into a Nagitaga Togi. This Jowo-based nib will fit into any pen that takes a Jowo #6 housing:

There are five days left in my campaign, so how can you help out the kids at St. Jude, and have a chance at winning some great prizes? Here you go:

  1. For every $10 you donate via the Relay FM for St. Jude 2024 page, you will receive one giveaway entry. You are not limited to how much you donate, or how many entries you have. For example, $20 donated = 2 entries. $100 donated = 10 entries. We are trying to raise as much money as possible for the kids, so go wild! Donations made through Relay FM affiliated Community Campaigns are also eligible.
  2. After you donate, forward a copy of your donation receipt, or a screenshot including the amount and date of donation to stjude@penaddict.com with 2024 St. Jude in the Subject line. Only donations timestamped on or after September 4th at 3 p.m. Eastern, and before 11:59 p.m. on September 29th, are eligible.
  3. If you are unable to donate, you are allowed one free entry simply by filling out this form.
  4. All entries will be added to a spreadsheet after September 29th, and Random.org will be used to select the winners.
  5. All winners will be contacted directly via email, if selected.

Helping to raise funds for St. Jude is one of the highlights of my year. Their work is important and impactful, and I appreciate your support of this great cause. That you to everyone who participates!
