New Reward: Dave Letterman Tickets!

Update #5 · Jun 7, 2012 · comment

Last week we announced that backers donating $50 or more to the Bring it to the Table Kickstarter campaign will be entered into a drawing to win 2 tickets to HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher in LA, plus a 2-night stay in Malibu.  Great news: Another one of our amazing backers has just offered 2 tickets to see the Late Show with David Letterman in NYC. Donate $50 or more and you will automatically be entered to win this amazing prize!

If you've already donated $50+, your name is already in the hat.  If you've donated less than $50, don't worry, you can increase your pledge and join the drawing.

Don't wait. We only have 11 days left to raise the remaining $8,000.  Help us bridge partisan politics!

(Don't know how to increase your donation? Go to Kickstarter and sign in. Head to our campaign page, and you'll see that the green “Back This Project” button has been replaced with a blue “Manage Your Donation” button. Click it and enter a new amount.)

With gratitude,

Julie, Ed, and the TEM Team
