UPDATE FROM CHRIS - SEE PAGE 15

WINNERS DRAWN - SEE PAGE 12

12/19 12:05PM EST UPDATE - This is now closed. Come back later this evening to check on winners! Thank you again everyone for your donations and support. I know this will mean a lot to Francisco's family

2/19 1:23AM EST UPDATE: No longer accepting entries, just waiting for payments from folks who already have payment info. If for some reason you JUST saw this and really really really REALLY want to get in, try sending me a PM and if I send you payment info and you get your donation in before 12PM EST Sunday, I will include you, otherwise I will include your donation but you will not be included in the poster raffle. Want to be fair to everyone who already sent in their donation.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
  • Donate $10 for a chance to win a PJ20 billboard poster - PM if you would like to donate
  • Additional items for the next 4 names drawn: 1) Chris Cornell Songbook matching # Diptych posters donated by dwhite76; 2) Pearl Jam Gdynia 2010 Klausen signed poster donated by pjsyco 3&4) Two mystery posters, donated by GivenToLukinKP and dwhite76
  • Each $10 = one entry. $20 = 2 entries, etc.
  • Shipping anywhere in the world will be covered
  • All proceeds will go to Francisco's family

***ACCEPTING ENTRIES UNTIL SATURDAY 2/18, 11:59PM EST, WINNERS ANNOUNCED BY SUNDAY 2/19***
If you cut it close, please PM me with your pledge (i.e., $10, $20, etc...), I will just ask that you pay by Sunday 2/19 12:00PM EST to still be eligible.

As I was contemplating dropping an obscene amount of money on eBay for the I Woof You poster, I pulled up Chris' post about his friend Francisco who was sadly lost to a car accident. Chris goes on to describe how his family hasn't yet been able to afford a tombstone even though a month has passed.

So, rather than indulging myself, I would like to give something away instead to help Chris and Francisco's friends and family. Please help me help them.

PM me if you'd like to donate and I'll send you pmt instructions (I'm a bit paranoid about posting details here). Please don't let that be a barrier to helping. I will share list of names with Chris unless you'd prefer to be anonymous, just let me know.

Chris' original post: http://community.pearljam.com/viewtopic ... 4&t=183195

Thanks for reading.

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
