Dear Members
You may remember that last year there was a competition on Ebay with a top prize of £7000 for the winning charity. We are excited that this year Ebay are doing it all over again.
We have running costs of around £20,000 a year, but with no income other than member donations this prize would be a huge boost to our funds.
Please can we ask all of you who use Ebay to mark Freegle as your favourite charity, we are then in with a chance of winning some of the money Ebay are offering this year. It costs you no more than a few seconds of your time, just click the link and select ‘save as favourite’ - http://freegle.it/ebay
Unfortunately this is for 'new' favourites only, so if your favourite is still showing as Freegle from last year, you can’t vote for us this time. Optimistically, though, if your vote is already showing Freegle as the favourite at the start of the competition, please unmark it so that you can use it again next year.
Thanks so much for your support, we really appreciate it.
There are a lots of Tweets and Facebook posts scheduled to go out for the whole of October. variations on this:
"Please support #reuse and vote for Freegle to win a donation from @Ebay4CharityUK Go here >>> http://freegle.it/eBay You just need to make us your #favouritecharity – only takes a minute to do!"
