A list of prizes donated by our wonderful participating brands will be posted soon!

 

We have three methods of entry for our charitable drawing: 1) you can provide proof of donation to the Direct Relief CA Wildfire Relief fund, 2) share Bay Area Kei’s Instagram post raising awareness about the California wildfires, or 3) participate in our #instagramarye challenge! You can enter by one, two, or three of these methods! No monetary purchase is necessary to enter or win the drawing.

 

Submissions open October 1, 2020. Regardless of the entry method you choose, all entries must be submitted no later than November 1, 2020 at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM EST

PRIZES

ENTRY METHODS

1. Make a Qualifying Donation of $10 or More to Direct Relief


You can obtain one (1) entry to the drawing by making a donation of $10 or more to the Direct Relief CA Wildfire Relief fund. You can donate here. After you’ve donated, upload a screenshot of your donation to this form. (Please note- you will be asked to select Wildfires in their drop-down menu!) Please note that your donation screenshot must be dated October 1, 2020 or later- earlier donations don’t count!


Direct Relief is a non-profit organization that provides medical supplies and funding to medical professionals working on the front lines of natural disasters. We have chosen to support Direct Relief due to their recent work combating the global COVID-19 pandemic and the destructive wildfires that ravaged Bay Area Kei’s home state of California this summer and fall. You can learn more about Direct Relief at their website.


While we encourage larger donations, you can only obtain one (1) entry by donating, regardless of the size of your donation. Additional or larger donations do not qualify as additional entries. In addition, direct donations to Bay Area Kei are not accepted, and will be immediately refunded. We ask that all participants donate money straight to Direct Relief via their website, which can be found here.


2. Share Bay Area Kei’s Post to Raise Awareness About the California Wildfires


Even if you can’t donate, you can obtain one (1) entry by sharing Bay Area Kei’s social media post about the wildfires. This will help draw attention to those struggling to rebuild after the fires destroyed their homes. 


To enter by this method, you must:


  1. Follow @bayareakei on Instagram. 

  2. Like our wildfire relief post, and tag a friend in the comments.

  3. Repost the wildfire relief post to your main Instagram feed (not your stories!), and tag @bayareakei so we can see it!

  4. Fill out the drawing entry form with a link to your completed post.


You must leave the post up and follow @bayareakei until Gramarye ends on November 1 to receive a reward from the drawing!


3. Participate in the #instagramarye Challenge


For one (1) final entry to the drawing, you can complete our #instagramarye challenge over on Instagram! You must complete all 6 prompts to receive an entry. You can complete the prompts in any order, and we encourage you to combine prompts where possible! You can see the challenge rules and requirements here

ENTRY SUBMISSIONS

Once you’ve completed any of the above items, link us to your completed posts using the drawing entry form!

You will receive one entry for each completed action, for a maximum of three (3) entries. Please submit an entry form for each individual entry. If you submitted an entry for our Tea Party registration, you do not need to re-submit via this form. Entries not submitted via this form or the Tea Party registration form will not be considered for the drawing. 


No matter which method you choose, don’t forget: the deadline to submit proof of your donation is November 1, 2020 at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM EST. We’ll announce all winners at our closing ceremony on November 1, 2020.

GRAMARYE: WILDFIRE AWARENESS

DETAILS

For this event, Bay Area Kei is holding a charity drawing to bring awareness to the wildfires that ravaged our home state of California this past summer. We're hoping to draw attention to both the devastating impact of the fires, and the broader issue of climate change that impacts all of us. One of the ways to participate in the charity drawing is by donating to our recommended beneficiary, Direct Relief. Another way you can qualify for the charity drawing is by reposting our Wildlife Awareness post. 


In order to qualify for this entry method, please fulfil all the following items:

  • Follow @bayareakei on Instagram. 

  • Like our wildfire relief post, and tag a friend in the comments.

  • Repost the wildfire relief post to your main Instagram feed (not your stories!), and tag @bayareakei so we can see it!

  • Fill out the drawing entry form with a link to your completed post.

​

Please see below for a text version of the post:

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

Write to your state and federal representatives and demand stronger environmental regulations. Text RESIST to 50409 to find your reps and draft letters.

DONATE MONEY TO WILDFIRE RELIEF CHARITIES

Gramarye’s chosen beneficiary for this event is Direct Relief, but you can find a list of vetted charities to support on charitynavigator.org.

DONATE MONEY DIRECTLY TO VICTIMS

You can find and donate directly to victims of wildfire on GoFundMe. Many people who need help are from marginalized groups and are asking very little to help piece their lives back together, so even small amounts can make a world of difference.

DONATE BLOOD

Blood donations have gone down due to Covid-19. If you are able, giving blood would be a great help to victims and firefighters who have been hurt in a fire. You can find your nearest non-profit blood donation center by texting BLOOD to 50409.

VOLUNTEER

Many charities are seeking volunteers to help with food donations, shelter upkeep, blood donations, and more. There are even virtual volunteer opportunities for those sheltered in place.

EDUCATE YOURSELF ON CLIMATE CHANGE

While it is ultimately up to corporations, not individuals, to make effective change, it is important to make your voice heard and pressure them to take responsibility. Learn about environmental regulations and legislation and be informed.
