BEAD DRIVE 2015 PARTICIPATION RULES
1) With your bead donation: Include your name, contact number w/area code, name of one 501c3 animal charity of your choice.
2) Entries will be listed on the blog & Facebook as they are received. Please allow 2 weeks to post.
3) Winners need not be present to win. Winners & their charities will be contacted within 3 days. The winners will also be posted on this blog and on our Facebook page.
4) *The 501 (c)(3) animal charity must be located in the continental United States. Entrants will be verified to their 501 (c)(3) status prior to being placed in the drawing box. If the charity is not that status, the person submitting the beads will be contacted and asked to provide another animal charity.
5) You must be 21 to enter.
6) Only one animal charity is permitted per beading donation/entry. You may provide a second gift of beads for an additional entry either listing the same charity or a different charity but not sent in the same box or envelope. No stuffing the ballot box, so to speak.
7) The “original” seven Beading Divas are not eligible to win.
8) All drawings are random unless otherwise described. You agree to rules and the decisions of the judges which will be final in all respects.
9) In lieu of beads, you may send checks PAYABLE TO BEADING DIVAS, INC. – don’t forget to include the name of the charity you want to enter in the random drawing.
10) Donations are not tax deductible

DONATIONS ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE: Beading Divas to the Rescue is not a 501c3 charity. Each month we “volunteer” for a different animal charity and to sell bracelets for donation on their behalf. Therefore, donations to the Bead Drive are not tax deductible. The entire price of a $20 bracelet is given to the respective charity whether it’s paid for with cash, a check payable to said charity, or Etsy online sales.

Please like us on Facebook for continual updates re the Bead Drive progress.
