Hi everyone,
As some of you know, my wife is extremely active in animal rights advocacy and has participated in the Walk for Farm Animals for several years now. It's organized by and for the benefit of Farm Sanctuary, which is a farm animal rescue and such a wonderful organization. There have been similar sanctuaries popping up over the last several years, but there are still far more abandoned and mistreated farm animals in need of rescue than organizations to do the work and Farm Sanctuary is still the best of the bunch.
As the title says, in exchange for donations to the walk, I'll be raffling off a package consisting of all the following:
(1) 10% equity in my entry into the upcoming Parx Big Stax $300+30 tournament (if you donate before my tourney flight which is this Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 11am EST);
(2) Two bridge size set-ups: one sealed Desjgn and one pre-USPC Kem (opened, but unplayed by me and in pristine shape, found in an antique shop a few years ago) plus 2 yellow and 2 red bridge size cut cards;
(3) Single chips in air-tites: one Binion's $100; one "Call This!" by emptypocs; and one ASM 100 year anniversary chip; and
(4) Sample sets of the following:
All items as pictured below. International participants are welcome at no extra charge.
So how much do you have to give for a chance at the above?
Donate $20 and receive 5 entries;
Donate $30 and receive 10 entries;
Donate $60 and receive 25 entries;
Donate $100 will receive 50 entries *as well as a set-up of 2008 or 2009 WSOP Kems (opened, but unused)*;
*Please note that there are no more WSOP set-ups remaining. The three I had are now spoken for thanks to the generosity of a few kind PCFers. Thank you guys
Procedure for the raffle will be as follows:
So what do you need to do to enter? Go to my wife's page here and donate a minimum of $20. Be sure to click the option to make your donation public and then also post in this thread. I will update the second post below so you can see that I have noted your participation and the correct number of entries.
Note: the donation site doesn't take PayPal, which I consider a PITA (though I know the arguments both ways), so an extra thank you for having to actually take the time to key in your number. If it's enough of a PITA that they don't take PayPal that you might be discouraged from donating, please PM me. You can PayPal me and I'll donate in your name and you can see it go up on her page for verification. My paypal is jbutler16 [at] gmail. Please include your PCF name (but do NOT include "PCF" as it will be flagged and held) in the message.
Note also: if you don't get your donation in before the start of the tournament, you will be drawing only for the stuff above and not the tournament equity. For those who do get their entries in before the tournament, the winner will receive 10% of my net, post-tax winnings.
Clarification: prompted by an emailed question that I hadn't considered, but should have, please note that no matter whether the ultimate winner of the package has donated in time for a piece of the tourney, 10% of my tourney equity will be given away to someone. If the person whose number is drawn in the NJ Pick 4 drawing did not donate in time to receive the piece of my tourney winnings, the winnings will go to the person who did donate in time and whose number is closest to the number drawn. In the event of a tie (equal distance on either side of the drawn number), the tourney winnings will go to the lower number if the number drawn in the NJ Pick 4 is odd and the higher number if the number drawn in the NJ Pick 4 is even.
Thank you so much in advance for any amount!
