The Ragamuffin/Hello Somebody Jay-Z Concert Contest

Posted on 28. Oct, 2011 by loswhit in Culture

THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST IS DEREK PAULO FROM SO CAL!!!

Bring your dancin shoes Derek.  It’s gonna be on…

 

It’s simple.
70 watches sell…
1 kid gets off the streets in Rwanda and is fed and educated for ONE YEAR.
Simple.

Meet Janvier Nkundimana. The newest soon to be member of the Ragamuffin Family.
A stunning 13 year old sweet potatoe loving kid.
If we buy 70 watches, his life will change. Literally.
Now this should be enough for you to buy you and your whole family a watch.

They now sell the smaller face watches for those of you not wanting to show too much of your swag off.
But no.
We have something more.
Manny and I are going to the Jay-Z show the day before we leave for Rwanda in December.
You know, to make sure we dust our shoulders off before the trip.
We have an extra ticket.
So.
If you buy a watch between now and this Sunday night the 30th, you will be entered to win an all expense paid trip to Dallas to see a fantastic hip hop show with 2 bald Mexicans.
We pay for airfare and hotel. You gotta pay for your food. So I guess that’s not all expenses paid.
But it was fun to type.
You buy 2 watches, you are entered 2 times.
You buy 10 watches, you are entered 10 times.
And so on.
I’ll announce the winner on Monday morning here on the blog.

IMPORTANT!!!  YOU HAVE TO ENTER JANVIER’S NAME IN THE NOTES FIELD ON YOUR PAYPAL PURCHASE.

So let’s get Janvier some sweet potatos, books and tuition paid for!
Oh. And I’m hoping for us to be able to meet him soon. Like REAL soon.
And I’mma take you with me?

What color watch did you buy or would you buy?
Los

Oh.  And if you don’t like Jay-Z, that’s fine.  Janvier doesn’t care.  He just wants to go to school. ;)

    Do I have to buy the small watches? Or does any watch purchase count? What about other merchandise?

    Dang bro…just bought it and totally blanked on the name in the notes section. My bad:/

    I bought a couple and didn’t see the option to add a note to seller ordering through the website. I may have missed it…but as I looked, before I knew it my order was complete. Either way, I’ll get some sweet watches and help Janvier get his opportunity.

    People still wear watches? I thought the cellphone was the new watch

    Hey Carlos! If your friends forgot to enter Janvier’s name, they can email me at info@hello-somebody.com and put “Ragamuffin” in the subject line. I will make sure they are entered!

    Just ordered one for my husband. I had ordered one for myself (through Jon Acuff’s site) a few weeks ago. He’s been jealous since. Plus, he loves Jay-Z. Fingers crossed he wins the contest.

    Just bought 3…these will be great Christmas presents if I can wait that long! What a great cause, thanks!

    I bought one but didn’t see the field for Janiver’s name so I sent an email asking how I to add it after the purchase. The watch is cool but I really want Janiver to get something out it too.

  15. Cameron Gregory 29 October 2011 at 11:56 am #

    Just ordered mine! Those are some pretty sweet watches that are going to a great cause! Thanks for making me awake of Hello Somebody!

    I bought a pink logo and white mini logo! I love watches, and bettering children’s lives, so that was an easy sell for me. :)

    I too missed the field, so I contacted them through the website to make sure Janvier would get the credit for my purchase.
