Peace Islands Institute (www.peaceislands.org/gala) is featuring singer and pianist Paul Knight and other entertainers as part of its annual black tie (optional) fundraising gala, Thursday, November 20, in the legendary Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in NYC. Help Paul raise $250.00, the price of a ticket, and earn a chance to win this ticket with each $5.00 you donate directly to PII. When we reach our goal of $250.00, a gala ticket will be raffled, and a lucky winner will attend this event.

HOW TO ENTER:
To enter the raffle, you must do two things: One: Make a credit card or PayPal donation of $5 or more directly to Peace Islands Institute, using the PayPal DONATE button at its gala page. Two: Forward the e-mail confirmation of your PayPal donation directly to Paul Knight at sing@paul.pk, and include your name (or your designee's name*), address and phone number (you may redact personal data). Then mark your calendar and be prepared to attend the event if your name is drawn randomly, or decline in a timely manner so an alternate winner can be notified and attend.

$5 PER TICKET
You will receive a raffle ticket for each $5 you donate. However, you can donate any amount, so please donate something, and help us reach our goal. Every donation goes directly to PII, in full, but will count towards the $250.00 goal ONLY if you forward your confirmation to Paul.

* EARN RAFFLE TICKETS
Your friends can purchase raffle tickets and assign them to YOU, increasing YOUR chances of winning! So let's make this go viral -- we've already raised $20.00 towards the $250.00 goal. Share this widely with your friends, and ask them to donate in your name.

DRAWING:
The deadline to enter the raffle drawing is 11 AM, Tuesday, November 18. E-mail confirmations received after that time might not be counted; however, we want to reach our goal and will make every effort to count every donation, and help anyone who wants to attend win this wonderful prize. Two alternates will also be drawn randomly in case the winner cannot attend.
