NEW MERCHENDISE AND CONTEST!

Here’s the deal, after our event we had a ton of cups left over so I contacted Austin and asked if he would be willing to autograph some of them so we could sell them and raise more money, he generously agreed.  We have 60 autographed cups available and a bunch more that are not autographed that we are selling in the packages.  (To purchase these items please see the side bar). 

The cups will be sold in different packages:
-One autographed cup - $8
-5 cups - 1 autographed, 4 not autographed - $10
-10 cups - 1 autographed, 9 not autographed - $15
-15 cups - 1 autographed,  14 not autographed - $20

The shipping for all order will be $5 and I am willing to ship internationally as well but please if you want to make an international purchase please contact me before purchasing so I can calculate the shipping costs.  (email: green4thegulf@gmail.com)

I have also included a donation tab if you would just like to donate to the cause, you can also donate through my Crowdrise: http://www.crowdrise.com/globalgreengulfrelief/fundraiser/angiemeyer 
(the contest only applies to my page for Crowdrise, not Austin’s or anyone else on the team, I am taking care of this contest.)

For every autographed cup, cup package or donation of $13 or more (either here or Crowdrise.com) you will be entered to win a t-shirt signed by the current cast of One Tree Hill, we have two shirts which means you have two chances to win!  People who have signed the shirts are as follows: Austin Nichols, Sophia Bush, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Jackson Brundage, Stephen Coletti, Antwon Tanner, Robert Buckley, Jana Kramer, Kate Voegele, Lee Norris, Lisa Goldstien, and Shantel VanSanten.  Your name will be entered each time you purchase or donate so if you buy something for yourself and decide later you would like to donate, your name will be put in again.  Remember every dollar (with the exception of shipping costs) is going directly to the cause.  Please check out the promo video I created for this cause as well, you can find it here: Green For The Gulf - Promo - Cups Autographed by Austin Nichols.

Green for Now. Green for the Future. Green for the Gulf.

Green for now, green for the future, Green for the Gulf. That is the motto for Green for the Gulf, an organization which was started to raise money to help aid relief efforts for those affected by the horrible oil spill along the Gulf Coast. This is a despicable man made disaster that could have been easily avoided if our great country, US of A, was a little greener. If we don’t want to see a tragedy like the Gulf oil spill again and want to preserve our land for future generations, green is the only way to go.  From one coast to another, we are fighting to keep our oceans and beaches clean!

We have organized a benefit to help raise money for the Gulf.  All of our proceeds with be donated to Global Green through the project "Run My Ass Off For The Gulf" founded by Austin Nichols.  This project is being conducted on Crowdrise.com, a social networking fundraising website.  Austin is aware of the event however he is not personally involved and this does not mean he will be attending.  Our benefit will occur on Saturday October 23, 2010 at The Brass Pelican in Surf City, North Carolina.  It will start at 2PM and go through the night til closing at 2AM.  This benefit is joining forces with The Brass Pelican's Oktoberfest.  Festivities will include beer tasting, beer games, German food and live music throughout the day.  Live Music by Jagged Edge (classic rock band) 10PM - 2AM.  We will also have a table set up to inform all customers and participants how to live green in our everyday lives.  We hope to see you there to help us raise some cash for the Gulf.
