Squirrelers Thanksgiving Giveaway Contest

Welcome to the Squirrelers Thanksgiving Giveaway Contest!

In March of this year, Squirrelers was launched as brand new blog, with me as the only regular visitor:) Now, 8 months later, Squirrelers has found it’s own place in blogosphere, with great regular readers and new visitors coming by all the time.

Personally, it’s been a lot of fun running Squirrelers. It’s been great getting to know readers and fellow bloggers, while gaining new personal finance knowledge and sharing money stories along the way. I’m glad I made the decision to act on that nutty idea of blogging that had come into my mind. It now seems like second nature.

To show my appreciation, and to give back, I have decided to run a Thanksgiving Giveaway Contest!

There are nearly $400 in total prizes in the giveaway, as shown below. The grand prize is provided by Squirrelers, and the other prizes are all courtesy of a group of fantastic sponsors, noted below. Please check out these outstanding blogs. A number of the sponsors are members of the Yakezie Network, which is fantastic group of bloggers of which Squirrelers is proudly a member.

Additionally, due to the tremendous sponsor support, I have decided to donate $200 to CureSearch, an organization dedicated to working toward a cure for children’s cancer. It’s not a large amount, but every little bit helps. If you get a chance, please check out this charitable organization.
