Charitable Organization Introduces Holiday Contest to Benefit Abused Teens

Online, November 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - 'Tis the season for spreading holiday cheer - and what better way to do so than by supporting a local nonprofit which aids abused and troubled teens.

From now through December 24, 2010, Red Door to Ruth House, based in Los Angeles, is sponsoring a contest to benefit abused teens. Just visit www.freeboobyprize.com and for a $5 processing fee, you can answer a trivia question relating to a special scripture from the Bible. If your answer is "RUTH-less" - ridiculous, unique, thoughtful and humorous, you'll be entered to win the booby prize - $5000 cash to use towards the plastic surgery of your choice - creating the change in you.

"The purpose of this contest is to shed light on the beauty in all of us- particularly in those of abused teens," commented Patricia Taylor, director of Ruth House. "We hope to create awareness of this growing concern in our community through a light-hearted contest directed at anybody who wishes to change their appearance. The $5000 cash prize will be awarded the night before Christmas, providing a special Christmas gift. The $5000 can be used towards breast augmentation or any type of plastic surgery you wish."

All monies collected will go directly to the Red Door to Ruth House to benefit troubled and abused teens. Entries apply to those 18 years old or older and must be received by 11:59pm on December 24, 2010. The winner will be announced on December 29, 2010.
