CHARITY! Slog Is TWENTY THOUSAND TIMES Better Than Gawker!

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 12:37 PM

It's on the internet, so it's official: Slog has now raised $20,510.66 for Northwest Harvest, helping hungry people in our state this holiday, in the Slog vs. Gawker Holiday Charity Challenge! SLOG RULES, WHILST GAWKER DROOLS!

Many, many thanks to each and every lovely one of us who has donated so far, and a special shout-out to the Lucky Seven Foundation, a magical nonprofit that put us over the $20,000 mark with its generous donation. (Do you know a magical nonprofit with bags of money lying around? Have them send some!)

Today's prize is excellent AND wonderful: an overnight getaway at Cedarbrook Lodge, a posh retreat on 18 acres of restored wetlands in Sea-Tac, including a $100 gift certificate for their Copperleaf Restaurant (chef Mark Bodinet got schooled by Thomas Keller at the French Laundry!). Slog commenter Sir Vic says, "The food is indeed excellent, and the facility is wonderful. If you are from that area, you may not even know the place existed (I sure didn't)."

Aaaaand, so you don't have to worry about driving, Uber car service will take you there and back (they've donated $100 worth of transport in one of their sleek black cars).

All you have to do is contribute (any amount counts!) to the Slog vs. Gawker Holiday Charity Challenge between now and tonight at midnight, then forward your receipt to ih8gawker@thestranger.com, and you will be entered to win!

Cedarbrook Lodge: You could be here!

You still haven't figured out your math error. $20,000 is not twenty thousand times $0.

Fnarf, I'd think you'd be more charitable about a lady's math skills (or lack thereof)!

Bethany, I'm so hopped up on pills right now you're lucky that's not all I'm uncharitable about. Er, I'm lucky that's not all I'm uncharitable about, rather.
