Squidoo Is Stepping Up To The Plate For Pendleton SC

Squidoo is having a charity contest this summer called the Summer Sunshine Award Contest for Charity. They will be giving away $99 a day each weekday for 60 days beginning June 7, 2010. Friends of the Park is an approved Squidoo Charity so we have a chance to be a winner more than once. Lensmasters are asked to create a lens after May 1, 2010 and opt to donate 100% of their royalties to an approved charity. That means that Friends of the Park will be receiving 100% of the royalties from every lens that is created on it's behalf.

You can nominate these lenses by submitting the New Nomination Form to be used for this contest Sunshine Award Nomination Form


To date we have 9 lenses donating 100% of their royalties to Pendleton's Friends of the Park and I anticipate this list to grow. If you would like to see our Veterans Park be a winner, then please nominate each of these lenses. You can only nominate a lens once but you may nominate as many lenses as you would like. Please visit these lenses and leave a comment by choosing "visitor" in the comment section.

Or maybe you would like to join Squidoo and create lenses of your own. It is lots of fun and I will be glad to help you get started.

Here are the lenses in Squidoo's Summer Sunshine Award Contest for Charity designated for Friends of the Park.
