I have seen some pretty amazing publicity stunts lately… www.hiremeforthebestjobintheworld.com. But this one smells a little bit different.
Sure that title Win a South Beach Condo for $100 smells a bit fishy, but upon further inspection I get the feeling that this is actually a legitimate fundraiser for a legitimate not-for-profit charity Veterans Retreat, and what a great fundraising idea it is!
From the website…
The winning prize is a stunning 1-bedroom waterfront condominium on Miami Beach, Florida. This 850 sq. ft. condo has been exquisitely renovated and comes equipped with travertine marble floors, granite counters, stainless steel appliance and custom built-in cabinetry. Veterans Retreat will pay for all local property taxes and monthly condominium maintenance fees through December of 2009. This condo is in the heart of South Beach; home to the rich & famous, or possibly YOU! Don’t miss this opportunity to help a Veteran, while also taking a chance to help yourself.
I haven’t actually called the organization to find out, but I would assume the entrance fee is considered a tax deduction. If so, I may actually enter myself. How could you go wrong? Its the classic win-win-win. At the very least, I have $100 more dollars to claim come April 15 2010 and I have helped a few soldiers have a good time. Who knows, by this time next year I could be sipping rum on my balcony watching the sun set over Vice City. And the best part of it all? According to the website “… the condo has been exquisitely renovated…” so I don’t have to!
