Yes, the wait is finally over!!! Unfortunately, we had to delay the announcement of the winners of Menu
for Hope raffle for a couple of days. But... better late than never! Although we had a rather slow start, the campaign has been a smashing success, raising $91,188.00. That's a 50% increase
from the total of last year. Yay!
Our campaign couldn't exist at all without the help of all those generous food
blogging friends from around the world and the many companies, restaurants and other benefactors who contributed prizes. And all of you, of course, who invested their hard-earned money in a chance to win a slice of the cake.
So to all of you, a big round of applause!
Before I publish the list of prizes and their respective winners, here's what's going to happen next:
Jeanne and I will ne notifying the donors of the winners' email addresses and they will then be making contact with the winners. It is up to the winner and donor to arrange a suitable way for posting the prize that is mutually convenient, and/or redeeming any vouchers. If you are a winner and don't hear from the donor in the next seven days, please let me know so I can chase them. Alternatively, you may also get in touch yourself by contacting them through the links provided below.
If you placed bids for prizes in the other regions, please consult Chez Pim for a full list of prizes and winners.
