Mac Software Raffle to Cure Diabetes

Jim Whimpey recently contacted be about his raffle that he is doing for charity. I think this is an interesting event for a great cause. The event is based off of a raffle where there is a bundle of software given out. This bundle has some very well known names. The full specs are to follow.

What’s the Deal?

For every $10 you donate to Jim’s Ride to Cure Diabetes during the first two weeks of September you get the chance to win one of two Mac software bundles worth almost $275 each! Two winners will be chosen at random very soon after entries close and they’ll be notified by email.

To be clear, donate $20 and you have two chances to win one of the bundles. The donation collecting website lists all donors and amounts so you know exactly how good your chances are. Also note that it’s 10 Australian dollars.

The Bundle

A suite of applications for any Mac user. Get things done with Things, enjoy blogging again with MarsEdit, challenge your mind with Black Ink, get creative with Scribbles, get the most out of Twitter with Tweetie, organise your home movie library with Clipstart, get your media on your Wii with Wii Transfer, stay on time with TimeBoxed, remember your passwords with 1Password and trace your history with Family.

It’s a great bunch of popular apps from reputable developers.

iTunes Bonus!

John Eddie of Zicron Software, makers of the iPhone app Years, is kindly donating a $10 iTunes gift voucher to each raffle winner. Use it to buy a copy of Years and other iPhone software to compliment your swag of new Mac apps.

The Fundraising Campaign

My goal is to raise $3500 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia. You can find out all about diabetes, JDRF and the ride at my fundraising website.

Due Date

You have until the 14th of September. So hope over to the Raffle now to buy a ticket and help a good cause.
