T-Mobile is giving away $4,000 in their 4G Tweet Race competition which runs from Thursday, May 3rd to Wednesday, May 9th. One winner each day will receive a brand new HTC One S with a free year of service. At the end of the week, all seven winners will compete against one another for the grand prize of $4000!
How does the competition work? In a nutshell, the person with the most Retweets (RTs) of their qualifying tweet during the contest period each day wins, simple! You can read all the details on how to play here and the rules here.
Why am I entering this competition? First of all, $4,000 is a lot of money and I’ve always wanted to donate to various charities and causes but have not done so because of financial reasons. The charities and causes that I want to support are:
1) Cure For Breast Cancer @komenforthecure – http://ww5.komen.org
2) Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation – http://www.cff.org
3) Gamers Outreach @GamersOutreach – http://www.GamersOutreach.org
4) Able Gamers Foundation @AbleGamers - http://ablegamers.com
These charities are near and dear to me as they’ve affected many people in my life from family to friends and beyond. With everyone’s support, I’ll have the opportunity to support these great causes!
How can you help? During the contest period which lasts for 3 hours each of the 7 days, you will need to click on the Retweet button of my qualifying tweet (and hopefully have your followers do the same) and get as many RTs as possible to win. As a gamer, I am focusing on the gaming community for enough support in winning this competition.
In addition, a portion of the winnings will go towards video games & SpiritHood prizes!
Below is the race schedule for when you should look out for my qualifying tweet and the top of the hour and RT it!
