Make a minimum donation of $5 to the Presidential Inaugural Committee and get a shot at a ticket to the historic inauguration of Barack Obama ... or you could make no donation at all and still have a chance.
The fundraising effort is intended to help raise money to support the inaugural from small donors and avoid the traditional lobbyist and corporate donors of years past, committee spokeswoman Linda Douglass said.
Each entry requires an essay on what the inauguration means to you. The essay is required whether a donation is made or not, she said.
