Hey everyone,
I am attempting to make some money for a local soup kitchen in Detroit that could really use some help in these hard times. This group has been around serving about 2,000 meals a day and delivering food across the city for a long time, I believe they started during the Great Depression and continue to this day. I am currently trying to think up different ideas on how I can help them, I am currently working on a facebook page to try and generate awareness with some of my friends, and hopefully they pass it on, but I thought maybe a charity raffle on here could work as well.
Raffle Idea
Any game you want, if you win the raffle I will purchase it brand new for you and ship it to your door or P.O. box. So with that said, say the majority wants MW2 but you want Uncharted 2, not an issue, I will purchase any item you want that retails for $60 or less. I had thought about doing a system raffle but with shipping I think that would be a bit rough.
I want everyone to know that every cent of revenue will be going directly to the Detroit Capuchin Soup Kitchen, so even if you dont win the raffle, you are donating money to a great cause. I will be donating time + some of my own money to them over the next few weeks.
If anyone wants to purchase more then one ticket that is perfectly fine, no limit on ticket purchases will be set. I will accept all forms of payment but if paying with paypal would appreciate it being sent as a gift so money is not lost on fees. I will do the names in a hat system unless someone has a better way, i have seen some name generators on here in the past, maybe I can find one of those to do it.
I think I have generated a good reputation on here and hope that everyone trusts me enough to take part in the raffle
UPDATE - October 30th
Round 2
To start, I would like to thank all of you who participated in round one; you are all winners for donating to this great cause. In the first round we have raised an additional $18 dollars that will be donated to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen of Detroit.
Congratulations to TheGhost4413
You were selected as the winner of the raffle. If you want a game that’s currently available I will pick it up today and have it shipped by tomorrow.
I did take a video – it came out all right – but I have to figure out where to upload it, I have never uploaded a video online, but I’ll try to get it up on YouTube later today.
I would like to begin a second round – if everyone is still interested. The first round went well, but I would certainly like to speed up the process a bit. I do apologize for the delay in finishing up this raffle; it was a very hectic school week. If you are interested in the second round, please copy the list below and add your name + the amount of tickets you would like to purchase. Tickets will still cost $5 per or $4 each for any amount over 2, I would like for this group to have at least 25 tickets, and to close the group by next Saturday night (Nov. 7th), though it will depend on remaining tickets.
Again Congrats to TheGhost4413
Thanks,
Matt.

just a thought, you might want to edit your first post with current info so people don't have to scroll through multiple pages to figure out what's going on |

So I can get any item that retails for $60 or under if I win? If that's the case then I'd just get an Ipod shuffle. If this is the case, then I'll take a ticket :D

Wrote that up kind of poorly, 1 ticket = $5. 2 tickets - ???? = $4 each. So 2 for $8, and yea 3 for $12.......
Thanks for taking care of the list update. : ) |

To the top. Modern Warfare 2 comes out on Tuesday, if enough people join in one of you could win a copy for $5, plus you would be donating money to a great cause. : ) |
