    Entries into raffle have 11 hours to go to be accepted.
    Then a little later this week, a winner will be drawn and he/she can keep it, flip it, throw axes at it...whatever! it's up to the winner!

    Lots of runner up prizes to be drawn as well as thank you presents for your generosity and support. I want to thank everyone involved. To the donator of this amazing item, to all that have entered, to those that have bumped, to those that donated raffle runner up prizes,to everyone in between and yes even to SZ303389 for without his pissing on my lawn, we would have less views here as he inadvertently bumped the thread a few times. It's been an amazing experience with this entire process. THANK YOU!!
    XOXO

    Bump for an awesome fundraiser. I have a feeling that this thing raised a ton of $ for OYR of SJ.

    Finally got my 2 entries in.

    Everyone won as this is truly a win-win after seeing the amazing generosity and participation in this raffle.
    I will hopefully be doing the drawing later today and start the notification process, first to the variant winner and then to many runner up winners...

    I was just joking, even if I don't win I feel great for helping out your great cause. I'm sure you raised a ton of money which means you'll be shipping packages to the troops for a long time. :)

    10/1 Update:
    I shake my head in amazement and disbelief...Thanks to all of you, we more than tripled my expectations and hopes.
    THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, we have raised over $2700!!!

    The Variant Winner has been engaged.

    I'm starting to reach out to runner up winners now to notify and get mailing addresses.

    For those that win something:
    Keep it, sell it, flip it, trade it, donate it...it's yours to do so as you wish!

    Once you get it, feel free to post a picture of it or what you won in the thread or not and remain anonymous. It's up to you.

    I'm most grateful for generosity and support of everyone!

    Words don't do justice to show my gratitude...THANK YOU!!
