Enter the Service Soapbox Writing Contest Here!
In conjunction with our upcoming baby shower to benefit the March of Dimes Teddy Bear Den we're hosting a writing contest!
We want to hear what you have to say about compassionate service, charity, birth defects, or the March of Dimes.
Write a post telling us about your thoughts, your experiences, and your views.
Inspire us, move us, motivate us to action, or make us laugh - give it your own personal spin.
Leave a link to your post in the MckLinky below - with your name and the post title. The post can be old or new, but your post must mention and link back to the Service Soapbox post (the idea is to spread the word about the upcoming charity events - because we really want and need more folks to get involved!)
You may enter up to two posts. The deadline for entering is Monday, April 12th, at midnight MT.
On April 15th we'll announce five finalists, and we'll then leave it up to our readers to vote for the winning post.
In addition to bragging rights, the winner will receive this nearly $100 Gourmet Feast gift basket from GiftTree.
Good luck!

Hi there!
We're the Service Soapbox bloggers - a non-profit group of over 87 women (and counting) who've joined forces to use our blogs for good, putting together local and virtual events designed to do a little good in the world.
We would love for YOU to join in the fun. Here's how:
In April, we've put together a series of events designed to raise awareness and products for the March of Dimes Teddy Bear Den. The Teddy Bear Den helps to prevent birth defects by giving low-income women baby-related incentives (diapers, baby clothes, wipes) for participating in prenatal care and for avoiding unhealthy behaviors like smoking and drinking during pregnancy.
If you live in Utah... Grab a pack of diapers (or a case!), baby clothes, blanket, or anything else baby related (see the wish list here), and join us as we gather baby items for the March of Dimes Teddy Bear Den Baby Shower. Grab a friend and come socialize with some amazing women on Saturday, April 24th, from 10AM - 12PM at Noah's in South Jordan, as we enjoy refreshments, great door prizes and lots of fun.
If you DON'T live in Utah...The week after the event, starting on April 26th, we'll be hosting a virtual shower. Everyone who donates baby items to the Teddy Bear Den will be eligible to win great prizes from PC Laptops, Ulta, GiftTree, the Vintage Pearl, Target, Marilee Jean, Blush, Bellybuds, Minutes with Me, and many many more.
Writing Contest: On April 10th, we're hosting a writing contest designed to raise awareness. You'll be able to submit your new or old post about service, charity, birth defects or the March of Dimes. Five finalists will be selected by a panel of judges - and the readers will then select one lucky winner, who will receive a $100 gift basket.
