My friend Jessica Gottlieb invited me to lunch the other day — lunch with benefits. And while I got to play Wii tennis (badly) with my mom blogger friends courtesy of The Game Truck, was given an adorable bracelet made by MoGo and a cute T-shirt made by 10AgainClothing, the real beneficiaries were refugees around the world who are helped every day by the United Nations Refugee agency (UNHCR) since the luncheon was also a fund-raiser. Jessica asked several of her friends to open our wallets over some Chinese Chicken Salad (which was quite delicious), and of course, we could not say no. The UNHCR only needs $200 to build a tent in a refugee camp, and every contribution helps. If you feel so moved, you can help Jessica reach her goal of raising $10,000 (or 50 tents) by visiting her fund-raising page here.

Plus, I got an extra 10Again T-shirt to give away. Bonus! If you’d like the shirt — and who doesn’t like a 70′s Wacky Packages reference?Just leave a comment and make sure your mailing address is within the US so I can send it to you when you win. One comment per email address, please. Contest runs from Saturday, January 23rd to Saturday, January 30 at 12 Noon Pacific Time. Winner will be announced here. Close-up of the shirt, which is a kids size large and seems like it would fit a trim adult woman as well: (If you don’t win but would still like to get one of their cute shirts, check out their site and use this special discount code when you shop: MOMSROCK1.)

UPDATE 1/30/10: The contest is over and Caroline won! Congrats!!
