Hybrid Theory EP Era Fundraiser

[zerothree]

Hey LPLive,

It's been a hot minute since I've been around here. This site used to be a regular website visit in my daily routine.
As the years have gone on, I've continued to lug around two giant boxes of various Linkin Park paraphernalia. Now that my partner and I have just moved into a small apartment together, it's been time to reckon with what is most important to me. I'll be keeping some of my favourite pieces (such as my LPU9 vinyl, my signed LIVING THINGS vinyl etc.) however it's time to let some of it go.
This is where you come in.

This month in New Zealand, the Mental Health Foundation are running Mindfulness Month, a fundraiser and way to get people into good mental health practice.
In order to help raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, I am giving away 1 copy of the LPU reissue of the Hybrid Theory, as well as a t-shirt from when they were still called Hybrid Theory that I won through the LPU.

All you have to do to be in the draw is to make a donation of $10 at the link below (the money doesn't go through me at all) and in the comment with your donation, use the hashtag #MakeChesterProud and write your LPLive username. For every $10 you receive one entry (e.g. donate $20 and you'll receive 2 entries). I'll be drawing a different name for each prize at the end of the month so there are two chances to win.

Thank you so much in advance. Here's to the cause and to Chester.

P.S. Here's what's up for grabs

Hey LPLive,

I was considering taking this down as it hadn't received any donations from the LP community, but as the first donation from the LP community has been made, I will let it run.
As it stands, that person will walk away with everything for $10, so give them some competition, and let's raise money for a great cause.

I've also added a link to photo directly in the original post.

2 weeks left everybody, there are currently 4 legit entries so if you enter once now, you'll have a 20% shot (more if you get more entries!)

I believe that was me, itd be great if I walk away with everything! 🤣 Best of luck to everyone, and hope you achieve your goal

If there's two weeks left I hope I have time to donate as soon as I get my paycheck

 

PS: I'm from the opposite part of the world (Spain), would it be any problems with that?

Haha I think it was. Hey, I'm glad you got it started. You have a pretty reasonable chance still. Three donors, one of whom donated enough for three entries so 1 in 5 chance at the moment!

No problem at all! I'm from New Zealand so I figured most donors would be from anywhere but here haha. Fingers crossed!

A corporate sponsor has hopped on board to match any donations received over the next 24 hours so if you are waiting to donate, now's the best time to make the biggest impact. We have seven legit entries right now, your chances are still higher than 10% for some pretty impressive prizes so please get behind this important cause. Remember entries close July 31st so don't miss out.

What does paraphernalia mean? 🤔

(Sorry,not trying to be the idiot in this situation,I'm still learning stuff)
 

That's all good! It was a bad choice of a word by me anyway. It just means objects related to a particular thing e.g. a tshirt and a cd related to Linkin Park.

Roughly 12 hours left to enter. In the last 48 hours there have been a heap of entries bought, in fact I think we're one entry away from hitting $300 raised by the LP family for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand so I want to thank everybody who has entered. If not, it's your last chance. Good luck everybody!

The competition is now closed and I'm now in the process of contacting winners. Once they have gotten back to me and confirmed, I'll announce the winners on here.

Both packages were sent off yesterday ... and both winners came from r/linkinpark!
u/warchiello won the LPU1 reissue of the Hybrid Theory EP, and u/ToroRossoAlphaTauri won the rare Hybrid Theory EP era t shirt. 

The LP community raised $350 for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand which I think is a pretty great outcome so thank you everyone who got involved. It means the absolute world.
