Ordinary Hero Grant Giveaway!

Natalie, Mikaela and Tobi - Wright Family Ordinary Hero Models

Hi Friends!  We have just kicked off our Adoption Fundraising with Ordinary Hero T-shirts.  This afternoon I created a fundraising event on my Facebook page.  While I was working on that, Natalie went to pick up our mail.  She came back in the house wearing her new OH t-shirt!  She sneaked into our backyard and slipped it on before coming inside.  I squealed loudly to say the least :)  We ordered one for all 6 of us and I hope to get a picture of the guys in their very cool manly shirts by tomorrow evening.

Ordinary Hero Grant Giveaway!!!  Today I received an email from Ordinary Hero, the organization we chose to become affiliates with for fundraising.  We chose them because of their heart for orphans and because the merchandise is fabulous!  Anyhoo...OH is giving a grant of $1,000 to the family who sells the most merchandise between 9/21 and 9/30.  For every sale, 40% of the total is added to our adoption fund with our agency.  Please consider helping us raise money to cover our adoption expenses by checking out http://ordinaryherostore.org/.  Receiving the 1st place grant of $1,000 would be such a blessing. (2nd place is $500 and 3rd place gets $300). There are many great items to choose from.

IMPORTANT DETAIL:  When you go to checkout please click on Tobi Wright in the drop down list.  Ordinary Hero will send 40% of each sale to an account set up for us with our adoption agency, America World Adoption Associates. By clicking on my name you move us closer to winning the grant!
Let me know that you have placed an order (9/21 - 9/30) by leaving a comment here on our blog.  I will enter your name in a drawing for a Starbuck's Gift Card.  The winner's name will be posted here and on my FB page on October 1st!

We will keep the Ordinary Hero Fundraising opportunity open for 3 months (or more).  Each month I will do another drawing, each month a different prize :)  But this month your order will help us win $1,000 for our adoption!!!

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.  God is providing for these children to become a part of our family!  The adoption experience has been so good.  We are learning a lot through books, webinars, friends who have adopted and new blog friends who've also adopted.  We will keep you posted!

  11. Hi, Tobi. Thank you for inviting me to participate in this contest with you. I have been praying and thinking of you and your family since David told me your story at the K-State game a couple of weekends ago. I have ordered the new stainless steel coffee tumbler/mug. I can't wait to hear about the results of this contest - I hope you guys win it all!
