[CLOSED] Raffle for a good cause
on: January 29, 2015, 10:04:58 PM
** Grant Approved  **

I know what it is like to have an expense wreck a budget, and sometimes recovery actually takes longer than expected.
derekmac was selling some of his tools, which sucks, but his vehicle comes first, and I appreciate people who strive to handle issues in-house!
so I am going to raffle of a like new BO Blast.  all money except shipping cost will be sent to derekmac.

how to help and have a chance to win:

Each dollar donated will get you a "ticket".  buy 5 and get a sixth free!

Paypal  as a gift (do not really want fees eating away derekmac's money)  to   detron.phillips@gmail.com  and be sure to put you MT.O username in the note field so I know who you are.

I will do the drawing February 6th.

if you have any questions, please ask.


as a way for others to see progress on this, I recommend anyone who gives reply here with the amount they gave.  I do understand if you want to remain anonymous, if so add that in the paypal note and I can update with anonymous donations so people see progress.

also this transparency should ease peoples mind against fraud or raffle miss-management. 


Pictures!

Oh wow, I am truly speechless! I honestly don't know what to say, besides thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This means so incredibly much to me. Getting hit with a huge expense like this sucks, even more so with it being just after Christmas.

It was a very hard decision for me to put my babies up for sale. My very first Alox SAK, which was also nodded by Syph, was the most difficult, but I knew it would be a quick sale. My Skele and orange Cadet were also hard as they were prizes that I won here, and I always said I'd never sell something I won fro here.

Thank you Detron, you really are an incredible person! :hatsoff:  Thank you to everyone else involved in this as well.

This place really is home, and it has the best family members anyone could ever ask for!

Ok, I will help, but I do not have PayPal. If anybody in the US is gonna play, I can send a fiver to them and they can have my tickets. Just as long as Dmac gets the money.

well, looking where we are right now, we should have at least $40 to send to derekmac, and about $50 if it is a US winner,  either way, I think that is great on a tool that I bought for $30. 

very nice!
