The Pen Addict for St. Jude, Week Four!

We are entering the homestretch in this month of raising money for St. Jude, and I’m back with another batch of goods to add to what has been donated already.

First up, if you haven’t seen everything listed so far, take a look at these links:

Week One

Week Two

Week Three

For Week Four, I’m adding in some mystery bags! Ok, they aren’t a complete mystery because you can see the items below, but here is the plan: FIVE individual winners will each receive a package with at least one pen case, one ink, one notebook, one Penquisition pen cup or pen holder, and two Penquisition fidget toys. That’s a lot of awesomeness!

In that vein, THREE additional winners will each receive one Yachingstyle Suede Pen Box. The rows in this box are extra long to help accommodate glass dip pens, and well as standard pens, and the lid features a unique magnet flap which can easily be removed from one side, or both.

Finally, in addition to the nib grinds listed in Week Two, Damien from All in the Nib has but this amazing Steel Stacked Nib, ground into a Nagitaga Togi. This Jowo-based nib will fit into any pen that takes a Jowo #6 housing:

There are five days left in my campaign, so how can you help out the kids at St. Jude, and have a chance at winning some great prizes? Here you go:

Donations made through Relay FM affiliated Community Campaigns are also eligible.
  2. After you donate, forward a copy of your donation receipt, or a screenshot including the amount and date of donation to stjude@penaddict.com with 2024 St. Jude in the Subject line.
