Home > Charity > Thanksgiving Cookoff for Charity: $5k Grand Prize Winner

If you’ve been paying attention, and you have, you know we’ve been donating $1000 a day to charity through Thanksgiving.

Every winning lens from the Squidoo Thanksgiving Cookoff for Charity won $1000 for the charity it supports, along with Lens of the Day fame.

Of those, only one could snag the $5000 Grand Prize that we offered in a Thanksgiving Day vote-off. PJWuebker’s lens ‘From the Garden Pumpkin Pie’ ran way with the popular majority, scoring $5000 for Wildlife Forever. Congratulations!

Voting is closed (new votes don’t count toward anything but fun) but you can see how well your favorite charity did in the poll.

The real win here is this: Contests aside, every single day, lensmasters are making great lenses (about everything and anything) that are raising money for charity. It’s free. It works. It’s simple. It’s fundamentally game-changing for nonprofit organizations.

If there’s a charity you care about, send them this link now, today, and make sure they know that. Make sure they know how many people out there are ready, willing, and enthusiastic about making free online recommendation pages that will raise money for their organization for free, forever. More people than are willing to dig into their own pockets and write a check, for sure.

We’re grateful to the people who get it. That means you.

And congratulations again to Wildlife Forever.
