If you’ve never experienced Benihana, now is your chance: This month, FIJI Water is giving away (8) $50 Benihana gift cards! The best part? Benihana will donate all proceeds from FIJI Water sales at its 77 restaurants in North America to Best Buddies, an organization dedicated to creating friendship, employment, and leadership opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
There are two ways to win:
1. On Facebook: Write a haiku about Benihana, food, hunger, or the Best Buddies organization on our Facebook wall. The haiku with the most “Likes” by each Wednesday, 3pm PST during the month of November will win a $50 gift card to Benihana. We’ll have one winner each Wednesday until November 27, 2009, four winners total. One entry per person per Facebook account.
Just in case you need a poetry refresher: Haikus are Japanese poems that are three lines. The whole poem is 17 syllables (five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line), and they don’t have to rhyme.
An example haiku (with number of syllables for each line):
Daydreaming of food (5 )
Fresh stir-fry heart-shaped fried rice (7)
Benihana now! (5)
2. On Twitter: Follow us on Twitter, and retweet this sentence: Follow @FIJIWater & RT to win $50 card to Benihana. This month, FIJI Water sales @Benihana__ go to Best Buddies #fijihaiku. One entry per retweet.
That’s it! Don’t forget the #FIJIhaiku hashtag, because that’s how we’re tracking your entry on Twitter. We’ll randomly choose one follower who retweeted the message as our winne by 4pm PST every Wednesday, until November 27, 2009.
Here are the official rules. Now, go get your haiku and retweet on!
