A big Canadian music raffle starts today. All proceeds to charity. Take a look.

Dine Alone Records has teamed up with some friends for a special charity raffle which will see all proceeds go to Black Lives Matter (see graphic below). Each $10 contributed will give you once shot at the item you want. There’s no limit to the number of $10 hits you can make (in other words, $100 equals ten chances to win.) Winners will be picked at random by 11:59 pm EDT July 5 and notified via email by July 20. All the details here.
