Passports with Purpose is offering outstanding prizes this year. I’m making my list and checking it twice. Now off to donate to PwP. Thanks for including our prize of a 2-night romantic stay at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North.

Fantastic juxtaposition of the two! 🙂
In addition to trying to win a prize for personal use, I think donating in someone’s name can be a great gift as well. We don’t need “stuff” (nor can we carry anything more, lol), but I’d be tickled if family members donated to this in lieu of giving us Christmas gifts! Sending the link now…. 🙂

Very good way to look at it! I’ve already made one round of donations to PwP, but I’ll be making another round next week!

5 nights in Hawaii is better than one hour parking in NYC. Plus, PwP is a great charity.

Possibly the best $10 ever spent!
