Luon for a Cause + Roon Raffle
Hey guys! How are you? Can you believe it’s almost the weekend? Bring it 🙂
Thank you SO much to those of you who donated items for Luon for a Cause! I think we’re going to be able to raise quite a bit of moolah for the Red Cross, especially in the aftermath of such a heartbreaking tragedy in Japan.
Here’s how today will work:
1. Luon for a Cause auction:
Check out the list of items below. If you see something in your size that strikes your fancy, send me a bid to luonforacause at gmail dot com. Include the item name in the subject line and your bid amount in the message. I’ll be updating the bids throughout the day.
The winning bidder will be notified of their victory by midnight tonight and will have until midnight EST on Friday (3/25) to donate their winning bid amount to redcross.org. In the case that the winner doesn’t follow through with their donation, the item will go to the next highest bidder.
The people who donated the items below are also donating shipping costs to ship their items to the winning bidders (thank you!!!!!!)
*US only, please, unless otherwise specified.
2. Roon raffle!!!
Make a donation to the Red Cross (via redcross.org) and forward your receipt to luonforacause at gmail dot com. $10 will get you one entry, and $20 will get you three entries! (Anything above $20 in $10 increments will get you one additional entry; so a $30 donation would be 4 entries, $40 would be 5 and so on)
The winner will be chosen by midnight tonight through random number generator, and the winner will receive 3 FULL batches of macaroons in their choice of flavors. (Blond, dark chocolate, mocha, super soon, Meyer-lemon lavender, chocolate almond butter)
The goods:

“Yes we can!” 😉 Thanks for setting this up Gina! <3
This is so exciting!! I love the Aura jacket. Unfortunately the one there won’t fit me but some of the others might… 😉 Great job with setting this up Gina, I’m sure you’ll smash your goal!
great work setting all this up.
I totally had a dream about you and you had a huge get together with all these people doing this luon for a cause, it was totally weird, Viesa was there!
Can you fill those of us that are new to the brand in on sizing? Does a 2 fit true to size… waist 26, etc? Awesome idea!! 🙂
I feel like it depends on the fit, in my opinion/experience. I have a pair of long shorts that are a size 10 and they’re big in the waist (I feel like I could have gone down to a size 8) BUT I have a pair of capris that are a 10 and fit pefectly.
Sweet idea Gina! Good luck on reaching your goal!!!
This is such a fabulous idea!! 🙂
so cool of you to do this!
So awesome that you’re doing this Gina!! Good luck!
Gina you are too sweet, girl fraaan! 🙂 I hope you reach your goal! I will be bidding soon on some cute Luon items, I will also put this post on my Facebook site and my blogs FB site! Good Luck, sweetie! 🙂
I just donated to the red cross but I was wondering how we forward you the receipt since it’s just a webpage…should we just include the link in the email or screenshot it? Thanks!!
nevermind, I just got an email from the redcross with a receipt lol will forward now! Thanks again for setting this up!
yay!!! so exciting and I hope you raise a lot of money!!!!! Thank you for letting me be apart of this Gina!! I love all the Lulu items!!! I think it’s going to be a success ; )
xoxo <3
What a great cause! And cute donations!
This was sucha brilliant idea G! Hoping you reach your goal!!
Thank you for fundraising for Japan!
It’s so sweet of you to be fundraising for Japan!
This is awesome! Off to see if redcross.org accepts PayPal 🙂
that is soooo cool! Good luck 🙂
Gina, you really are a special person. Not very many people would take the time from thier lives, especially right after their husband comes home from deployment, to put this auction together. You rock!
Love this!!! So many cute pieces. Good luck to you! 😀
Such a great idea Gina!
you’re doing such a great thing Gina!
Teach me your macaroon ways.
ok, young grasshopper. i will teach you 🙂
Gina your work, effort, dedication and desire to help others is awesome. Thank you for doing this and organizing it all!!
And thanks to your readers for donating!
🙂
You are so awesome for doing this!!
it’s great/fun idea! gina’s such a brain!
Hey Gina! This is a marvelous idea. I actually donated $25.00 to the red cross last week and I wasn’t sure if it would still count, but I sent you an e-card receipt at the luonforacause gmail anyway!
I just wanted to say “THANKS” for helping! I have the honor of greeting our military families who are being evacuated from Japan. These are the MOST amazing people EVER. As a military spouse, I meet all kinds of people…but these families are extra special. They are traveling with their children and often times another families children. For example, let’s say mom and dad are both active duty and can’t leave..but their kids have to evacuate. What do you do? Military families are coming together like never before to take care of each other. Last night we welcomed over 600 people to the United States and God knows I’m exhausted..but ready for more 🙂 Thank you for all supporting the Red Cross!
I was just about to donate to red cross today and then remembered your auction today! Is ‘roon auction open to Canada? Thanks!
yes, roon auction goes anywhere 🙂
are the roons vegan??
yes and raw
oo I like ::”””Mogul Jacket, Size 8 (New With Tags) Current high bid: $20 “”””– but I couldn’t go more than 30 esp not know how it would fit me — have fun bidders!
Fingers crossed…could this be the time i finally win some macaroons???? Praying instead…way better than finger crossing…lol
Awwh I was so excited to bid, but nothing in my size!! Good luck though, what a fabulous idea!!
This is amazing! I’m sorry I can’t afford to bid right now (but that doesn’t mean I won’t donate clothes/money to Japan)! Thank you for putting something like this together, you are definitely a force of nature 🙂
I admire you so much for what you are doing. this is an amazing idea! I wish I could contribute 🙂
This is wonderful what you are doing.
This is an example of the wonderful POWER OF BLOGGING and I’m sure you will meet your goal.
After the devastating Feb 22nd quake in my home town, a group of my blogger friends started the RUN FOR CHRISTCHURCH virtual run campaign (http://run4chch.wordpress.com/) through their blogs and it went completely viral, global even. The founder of it even had to scrub up for a TV appearance. They had a goal of just $1000 but raised over $16,000 and it’s still climbing. I was touched beyond belief by their efforts for the Red Cross in NZ and I’m sure your friends in Japan will be also. Perhaps you could feature a personal story from one of them? I know people like to see the results of their monetary efforts. The Red Cross here have been amazing in helping people stay healthy in ridiculous conditions, and the situation in Japan is even worse due to the Tsunami (thank god our quake was under the city, not out to sea).
Good job!
Thanks for doing this! I donated to the Red Cross and feel super good doing so! Shame on me for roons being one of my motivators!
I can’t wait to see the final tally and find how much money you raised!
so no email means no winning ‘roon raffle? 🙁
excited to see how much was raised! it looks like i was the highest bidder on one of the items… but no email 🙁
which item??
jk- found it, just emailed you
Woohoo, you raised a lot! This is just an idea (especially if you haven’t hit your goal of $3,000), and I’m a bit late, but maybe you should extend the Roon Raffle to tonight because those that bid on items, but didn’t win, may be now willing to put that money towards a donation, and entries into your raffle.
I totally agree! If you’re up for it Gina, I think this is a fabulous idea.
that’s an excellent idea 🙂 i’ll do that.
thank you so much for the suggestion! i extended it until tonight- wouldn’t have thought of that if you didn’t mention it!
