Here’s your chance to win a fine, fine organic shirt from MakaluWear. You see, MakaluWear is run by a couple of folks from Nepal (Makalu is one of the 8000m+ mountains in the Himalayas, East of Everest) and I stumbled on their shirts one day while searching the grand internet. I then came to find out they donate a portion of t-shirt sales to Room to Read, a non-profit I had been involved with in the past to help get a school built in Nepal. I liked the idea of organic shirts, something relating to Nepal, that the company was run by a team building the company from scratch and that they gave back to the community in which the lived.
Since then I’ve had a chance to meet one of the owners when I was in Kathmandu and get to know them both a bit better. They are people I’d gladly go climbing with and I still whole heartedly support their endeavors. And that’s why I’m giving away this shirt!
First, the prize: 1 (one)(uno)(ett)(ek) MakaluWear “Supporting Expeditions Since The 1920s” shirt in blue. Sara, of Rock Climber Girl fame, was nice enough to model the pink version as pictured at right.
Second, how to enter: simply leave a comment in this post. I’ll then use one of them fancy random number picker things to pick a winner at random. You don’t have to ‘like’ anything on Facebook (although they do have a page), follow them on Twitter (got that too) or any of that tricky stuff. Just leave a comment telling me what you like about the color blue. Or what you like about organic stuff. Or climbing. Or daises. Anything that’s not vulgar cus I have a big old delete button for that type of stuff.
Your comment must be posted by 11:59pm Pacific Time on June 30th, 2010. I’ll pick the winner the next day. Special note: I’m only willing to ship the shirt in the US and Canada. Sorry.
You are, of course, encouraged to visit MakaluWear’s website, especially if you want to see what the blue version looks like. And if you want to decrease your chances of winning but increase the amount of friends who find out about MakaluWear, please feel free to tweet this post or share it on Facebook with these buttons.
That’s all there is to it!
Organic Shirt? Blue? Something to do with Climbing (and old hobby that I haven’t had the money to continue to support, but still love)?
I’m game.
Good cause and a nice looking shirt.
Super cute shirt! It definitely looks like something I’d wear. Throw my name in!
Also wanted to let you know that I’ve really enjoyed the photography you’ve been posting lately. You have a great eye for the details in nature.
I certainly don’t think that blue shirt will look as good on me as it does on Sara, but I’m game. Good cause too!
Would LOVE to have that t-shirt. Just in time for summer, too!
Blue. Blue water, blue skies, blue moods…
I love all things blue. Great cause! And, your photography is awesome! I look forward to your latest shots and adventures in my in-box!
love organic and appreciate your photos, thanks for posting and sharing what you know!
Roses are red, Violets are BLUE
I think that shirt would look good
on me, too!
Blue is warm, gentle, & funky ~ a colour that seemingly hugs! The clouds appear even more puffy, with the perfect background of blue skies.
What could top that? Perhaps the fact it is also my Dad’s favourite colour & today is his birthday. :)
Very nice tshirt – proceeds to a GREAT cause!!
Beautiful photos – love your attention to detail.
Blue would be an interesting color for gelato. :)
I like blue because it’s got a wavelength of roughly 475 nm. :)
supporting a good cause, and Peter – what could be bad about this? =8^]
It’ll be perfect for my wife’s birthday next month. :)
Fine Fine. Enough FB harrasment. Let’s pick a winner.
And the winner is……Jeremy Kuno! #14. AS witnessed by my daughter in a drawing with random.org today
