We’re thrilled to join forces again with other travel bloggers in the second annual Passports with Purpose fundraiser, an online raffle to raise funds for charitable organizations around the world. This year, 100% of the proceeds will help support American
Assistance for Cambodia (AAfC), an independent, nonprofit organization
dedicated to improving opportunities for the youth and rural poor in Cambodia. With your help, we can meet our $13,000 goal and build a school for underprivileged kids!
Here’s how it works: Each participating blogger is providing a different raffle prize. To see all the offerings, head to the Passports with Purpose web site. Make a $10 donation, and you'll be entered into a raffle for the prize of your choice. Donate $20 and you'll get two chances to win. The raffle takes place on December 21. Winners will be notified via e-mail on January 5, 2010.
This year, WeJustGotBack.com is offering a $100 gift certificate to Tots on-the-Go, an online shop stocked with all kinds of products
to make your your load lighter and your travels with babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers a whole lot easier. If you’ve got little kids,
you know how much schlepping and lugging and lifting it takes to get from point A to point B. Trust us: Picking the right equipment will make your travels ten times easier. The $100 gift certificate can be used toward any of the company's products and services (but can only be shipped to U.S. addresses). Here are a few of our favorites:
The FlyeBaby is a portable,
hammock-style, fabric seat that creates a comfortable, secure place to put your
baby at home, on an airplane, at a restaurant, at the beach or pool. In other words, you'll use it over and over on your getaways. Best of all, it folds up and easily fits in a
diaper bag.
The CARES aviation safety
harness is a bestseller at Tots on-the-Go. Instead of hauling a bulky car seat on the plane, pack this one-pound, belt-and-buckle
device. It provides kids who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds the same level of safety as a car seat, and it's certified by the FAA. Just fasten it to the airplane seat belt and you're good to go.
The Líllébaby EveryWear is a lightweight, comfortable child carrier that offers fantastic flexibility in how you carry your child: front outward facing, front inward
facing, hip, or back. The best part? You can use it for a few years, since it accommodates kids from newborn to toddler.
Instead of lugging your bulky baby gear your next trip, consider renting from Tots on-the-Go’s Tots Travel Rentals. The company will ship whatever you need—including crib, stroller, car seat, or high chair—nationwide to your destination, or deliver to select areas on the East coast, including vacation spots Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.
We urge you to check out all the great raffle prizes at Passports with Purpose, be generous, and good luck!
