United by a purpose. Inspiring hope. Determined to make a difference. In these tough economic times, we would like to give some sense of hope to those less fortunate. Our communities need us now more than ever, and we can’t do it without you. Every bit helps, so please donate whatever you can afford to help us reach our goal of $25,000.

Today we will be launching a raffle designed to raise money to purchase toys for under-privileged children in North America. For every $5 you donate, you will receive one chance to win over 80 prizes, including the Grand Prize: a custom-made, hand-painted SmoothCreations PC gaming system, equipped with some of the latest high performance gear on the market.

Donations will be made via PayPal on TheTechLounge. For more information about how to donate and for a full list of prizes, please visit www.thetechlounge.com/toysfortots.php

The promotion begins December 1, 2008 and ends on December 31, 2008. All proceeds will be donated to Toys for Tots.

About SmoothCreations
Smooth Creations was founded by Jim "Smooth" Saling in 1999. Smooth has over 15 years of experience in the automotive finishing industry. During that time, Smooth's work has gained national attention from many media outlets. He has been called on to design and create custom paint jobs for high-end sports cars (among the best, he's painted a Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, many muscle cars and multiple hot rods that were featured in national calendars). When Hollywood comes looking for a custom-designed PC, they look no further than Smooth. Jay Leno and Steven Spielberg are among those that have commissioned the work of SmoothCreations. When he was introduced to the high-end computer industry by a friend, it was the perfect match. Now the power users of the computing world can get a custom designed, hand-painted "Smooth Creation" to match their interests, hobbies and even mood. No design is out of reach for Smooth, and it shows. For further information about SmoothCreations, visit SmoothCreations.
