Small raffle to help with bucket list of a high school friend

[Frank bierce]

So, with permission, I have decided to set up a small raffle for a high school friend. She has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and have seen her trying to sell small items to accommodate some of her bucket list goals. This is a woman who dedicated her life to her children and never gave herself an opportunity to travel or even do the simple things in life. With her days numbered, she is now trying to experience what she can in this world.
I want to help her out. This is my plan…I’m not looking to raise a ton of money and have seen mixed results from other raffles before. Most raffles have gone quite well, but I don’t want to be any part of one that gives anyone a sour taste in their mouth.
now for the plan;
I’m going to donate a few items for the raffle….I’m going to limit the amount of participants to 15 members at $50 each, on a first come, first serve basis. Now for the raffle items. Shipping is covered for all
items
@Czed raised $400 re-donating the 346xp
@Roadfxr raised $450 with the 550xp
@Cat 525 raised $250 with his axe





@dustinwilt68 is auctioning off a port job for a saw of your choice…information on page 8…….bidding @ $250

@Roadfxr has graciously decided to also big off this very nice 2015 550xp to the highest bidder. More photos can be seen on page 8 of this thread.

@Woodpecker is auctioning off this beautiful single bit axe donated by cat525…bidding ended at $250


As far as payment, I’d like input on what has worked best in the past…I’m perfectly fine if a third party holds the funds until raffle is complete….let’s get this started, and thank you!!

My PP address is fbierce@gmail.com
I’ll send out private messages…and thank you all!!

Note: Bars will come as a bar and chain combo and if you would like a square grind I’m more than happy to do that.

Good on you Frank for doing this for her!

Very kind and generous gesture sir. She is lucky to have a friend like you.
Are all these items included in one raffle, or is this 5 separate raffles?

Excellent Frank - but maybe instead of limiting the # of participants, you could set a number of tickets you want to sell and hold it to that?

 

[Duane(Pa)]

In for $50.00

That would be a good way to do it as well.

They are all included in one raffle. Do out of the 15 “ tickets,” 5 will come out with a prize.

[farminkarman]

Frank, this is a pretty cool thing you’ve got going on. I would love to join if you are still accepting participants.

 

[Frank bierce]

Are you guys fine with me carrying the funds, or would you all rather see a third party do so, if I can find someone willing?
