(Disclosure: I spoke to Eric about this and received his permission to post this here. Thanks for all your support! You can find more info here, and you can donate here.)
About 18 months ago, Brian Berman of Project Mañana contacted Matt at Cigar Federation with regard to sponsoring of a child in the Dominican Republic. Matt left that phone conversation trying to think of how he could help his friend Brian and Project Mañana to the best of his abilities. That led to Cigar Federation jumping on-board and Cigar Federation's Raffle for Project Mañana which raised roughly $5,800 and helped build a new school in the Dominican and helped our friend Erison get a new wheelchair.

This year, we want to take it a step further and have a goal to raise $6,500 to help with continued endeavors of Project Mañana in the Dominican. Over the next three weeks plus (beginning yesterday, 9/2, and ending Friday, 9/26) we want to generate as much funding for Project Mañana as possible. We have reached out to many of our favorite cigar manufacturers for support and now, we're reaching out to you! With your help, we have the ability to change the lives of numerous children in the Dominican Republic - together!
You can find the full list of prizes below, but the list will continue to grow as we receive more donations from manufacturers. We urge you to support this initiative as soon as possible to help us reach our goals. As a bonus, we've announced that the person who donates the most money will automatically receive the Drew Estate prize pack! In the event there is a tie for this honor, the person who donated that amount first will receive the prize, so make sure to get your donations in early!
Additionally, while we are limiting prizes to one per person (winning the Drew Estate prize pack is excluded - so you can win the DE prize pack AND another prize), if you donate $260 or more, you will be eligible to win TWO prizes. So, theoretically, if you donate $400 and are the highest donor, you will win the DE Prize Pack and have the chance to win TWO other prizes as well!
During the week of Sept 29th (the official date is to be announced soon), we will conduct a Live Special Edition of Cigar Chat to announce the winners. All entries will be compiled into a spreadsheet and we will use Random.org to pick the winners. If you have any questions, please contact Matt or Logan from Cigar Federation through a direct message. If you would like to email Logan, you can do so at logan@cigarfederation.com.
Good luck to all and thank you for supporting Project Mañana!
