Raffling a Wii for charity

[BruceSteveRoy]

before i get any flack from you all about posting this Gene was gracious enough to give me permission to. so with that said.

hi everybody,

my wife and i are doing a triathlon with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training. Part of the process is to collect charitable contributions for the society so they can help fund research and treatment for blood cancers. Their mission is to "cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families." together the two of us need to raise about $8000 by March.

In an attempt to do this we have come up with the idea to hold a raffle for a Nintendo Wii. All money will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The tickets are $10 for one and $25 for three. If you can refer 5 people that also buy tickets i will give you a free ticket. In the event that the Wii needs to mailed to the winner i will cover the shipping and handling. This is a good opportunity to give to a good cause and help your karma. not to mention win a Wii.

From personal experience i will say that the Wii is about the most fun you can have with your pants on.

PM me if you are interested or email me at wii_raffle@yahoo.com
we will accept cash, checks, credit cards, squirrel pelts*, precious stones, pirate treasure, etc.


*it has been brought to my attention we are no longer accepting squirrel pelts. sorry.

i just spent 4 hours standing in front of the supermarket begging for donations. i have never been given so many dirty looks or mean responses in such a short period of time. so with that in mind i decided to bump this thread. don't worry its a one time thing i just want to make sure that anyone that might be interested in this gets a chance to see it before it ends up buried. thanks all.

the Drawing is Feb 28th.

My sons own a Wii and they love it. One of the features is the ability to rate your reflexs and eye hand cordination and then compute what is your age group.
My eldest son called me into his room and asked me to give it a try. Didn't do bad at all, in fact I am a little over half my age but I think I pulled something although I didn't let him know it Man I was trying as hard as I could trying to beat him
