For the fourth year, food bloggers around the world are participating in A Menu for Hope, the annual fund-raiser sponsored by Chez Pim. This year's campaign officially starts tomorrow and runs from December 10-21, and will raise money for the UN World Food Program with donations targeted to a school food program in Lesotho. We're hoping to beat last year's total of $62,925.12!
One of the many fabulous prizes will be of special interest to Bloghers. Once again the wonderful Blogher founders have generously donated the prize of a free conference admission for Blogher's 2008 Summer conference. BlogHer '08 will be July 18-20, with all events taking place at the Westin St. Francis Hotel on Union Square in San Francisco. (Conference prize is a $350 value this year, and does not include travel or hotel costs. The Blogher Conference is open to women or men.) For the Blogher Conference Admission, the prize code is UW15. Keep reading to see how you can participate and have a chance to win this prize.
