Then, I continued to read the e-mail. Damn, that was one helluva gift basket. I grabbed $20 and ran to her office. Guess what. I won! Here are a couple of pictures:
Each department at Baptist Hospital here in Beaumont was responsible for creating gift baskets and selling tickets to win the baskets. My basket was created by the Medical Records department. The hospital raised about $8,000 for the March of Dimes and I got a basket full of stuff that will be kick ass for the beach. It's over $1200 worth of stuff. Here's what I won:
- Brinkmann Smoker/Grill
- Barbeque utensils
- $50 Academy gift card
- $50 Wal-Mart gift card
- $20 Sports Connection gift certificate and t-shirt
- $20 Hooters gift certificate
- $50 Visa gift card
- 3 rounds of miniature golf at Colorado Canyon
- 10 free games at Crossroads Bowling Center
- Round of golf for two with cart at Brentwood Country Club
- Round of golf for two with cart at Babe Zaharias golf course
- 4 season passes to Lamar University baseball
- 6 passes to the 07-08 Wildcatters hockey season
- 4 Astros tickets (Astros vs. Oakland)
- Dallas Cowboys TO Jersey
- Set of horseshoes
- Titleist golf balls and tees
- Texas A&M and Longhorn Coozies
- Charcoal
- Charcoal lighter
- Drinks
- Snacks
- Two tennis rackets and balls
- Electric dartboard
- Canopy
- Football
- Astros t-shirt
- Lamar t-shirt
- Disposable camera
- 11 pound ham from M. A. Brown Meat Market
All that stuff for twenty bucks, helps The March of Dimes, and you're good lookin' too!
ReplyDeleteToo cool! I was so busy at work yesterday I didn't see the e-mail until after lunch. Ya know I thought "I hope someone in the office gets it"
ReplyDeleteYour welcome

Damn. I'll take what you don't want.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, $1200.00 for a $20.00 investment, now that's GOOD value.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is some Easter basket. And all for a good cause, too. Congrats!
ReplyDeletewow, cool, You won big!!!!
ReplyDeleteand now you have horse shoes for next week at the beach!
I believe you promised me the Lamar t-shirt, Missy. Seriously though, if you don't know anybody who could use them, I'll buy the golf trips from you. But that's only if you absolutely know no one who would want them. Just let me know. Happy Easter and see you Monday. Love and kisses, Carly.
