St. Jude Milestone Giveaway - River City Pen Co. Inkthrower Fountain Pen

I’m raising money for St. Jude during the month of September, and one of the overall milestones is to launch a giveaway once $1000 in total has been raised. Well, we just crossed that threshold this morning, so here you go!

This giveaway is for one of the two fountain pens that River City Pen Co. made from the extra material from my Inkthrower project. This one ships with an Extra Fine Steel nib, so read the rules and enter away! One note: this, and all other St. Jude Milestone Giveaways will run until the end of the month, officially closing at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

There are more giveaway milestones to hit, so check out my campaign and help myself and Relay raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Pen Addict for St. Jude - Let’s Do This!

The Relay for St. Jude Campaign has officially kicked off!

This year, I’m doing things differently here at The Pen Addict. Why? Because I will be in Memphis for a week in mid-September to participate in our 12-hour Podcastathon! I’m excited to be part of the on-site team this year, and can’t wait to see what is in store for me. Hilarity shall ensue!

Because of this I will not be doing the standard donation giveaways on the blog this year, but that’s not going to stop me from helping to raise funds for St. Jude on behalf of Relay. Nor is that going to stop me from giving away some pens. So here is the plan:

I have created my own Relay for St. Jude 2025 Fundraiser on Tiltify which is our long-time fundraising partner. Through this campaign, you can donate directly to St. Jude, and earn some cool incentives along the way. For example, I’m creating art on postcards, and inking some ponies at certain levels, plus there are cool Relay-specific rewards such as digital wallpapers and stickers. Click on the campaign to check all of it out, and help raise funds for St. Jude.

In an effort to raise $5000 this year, I’ve added milestone incentives along the way. Once those levels are hit, I’ll publish free public giveaways on the blog for everyone to participate in. I have some great pens in hand from some great vendors, so stay tuned for those to drop. And if we blow past those levels, well, I’ll be stoked to figure out what else I can do!

Thank you again to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts over the years, and here’s to another big year in 2025!
