The Power of Love

So it’s official, we’ve taken Raffle.it on holiday in preparation for an incredible re-launch in June. We have partnered with the new charity, Mothers4Children.org to help them with their fund raising efforts.

The board of Mothers4Children are an inspiring bunch, Lisa Bilton, Yasmin Le Bon, Natalie Massenet, Trinny Woodall and Anya Hindmarsh. Between them they have created a charity that is set to improve the lives of many neglected children in the UK and Europe.

Lisa recognised that Raffle.it provides a perfect solution for charities trying to fund raise in this tough economic climate. As opposed to relying on auctions and the ever diminishing group of deep pocketed individuals, Raffle.it appeals to everyone by only requiring a tiny financial commitment.

To celebrate the launch of Mothers4Children, the girls organised an incredible lunch at The Mayfair Hotel for 200 of their closest friends. And we got to go along and explain how Raffle.it works.

I’ll add the video of Yasmin attempting to explain how our raffles differ from traditional raffles and how we got on with our biggest live raffle to date as soon as it becomes available.

On a serious note though Mothers4Children.org isn’t just for Mothers to help. I’m a Dad, most of the Raffle.it team are dads, uncles or big brothers and what we all take for granted is love. This is what is missing for most of the children Lisa and co are trying to help.

The cuddles I receive from my children on arriving home have almost magical properties, a sense of relief flooding over us and the weight of the day being lifted away. I can’t imagine what it would be like not to get these hugs. Money can’t buy love, but if we raise enough we’ll be able to help Lisa provide the support network and education required to help show many more children what it feels like to be loved.

If you’ve got something you’d like to donate for the Mothers4Children Raffle please complete this form and we’ll be in touch.

If you haven’t yet registered at Raffle.it, do it now. You’ll get early access to the raffles meaning you won’t miss out on the most popular unique gifts currently being pledged.

And if you’re on Twitter follow us @raffleit. We’ll mostly be tweeting the prizes being pledged but we’re also going to be running a cute Twitter Raffle, more on that in another post.
