Support Passports with Purpose 2009

Passports with Purpose is back for another year, this time with the goal of raising $13,000 to build a school in rural Cambodia, through American Assistance for Cambodia.

Passports with Purpose, for those of you who haven’t heard of it, is an annual fundraiser organized by four travel bloggers: Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby, Pam Mandel of Nerd’s Eye View, Michelle Duffy of WanderMom and Beth Whitman of Wanderlust and Lipstick. It works as a raffle, with travel bloggers sponsoring a prize which donors can nominate as their preferred prize.

Last year, the Passports with Purpose fundraiser raised $7,420 for Heifer International. With this year’s goal set at $13,000, the stakes have been raised.

Our Prize: $250 Accommodation Voucher

Last year, TravelBlogs missed the boat on sponsoring a prize for the fundraiser, but we’re doing our bit this year. We’re contributing a $250 accommodation voucher for use on Travellerspoint’s budget accommodation area.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The Travellerspoint accommodation voucher will be delivered digitally to the lucky winner and is valid for use any time before January 1, 2011.
• All donations go directly to American Assistance for Cambodia, which will be using the funds to build a school in Cambodia. They are a 501 (c)(3) charity.
• Each raffle ticket costs $10. You can buy multiple tickets and nominate different prizes, or nominate the same prize more than once to increase your chances.
• See all the Passports with Purpose rules here.
