Every penny raised here will go to Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey, a local US Troop all volunteer support group who sends care packages to those deployed in harm's way in Afghanistan and to those supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, run by yours truly. We also coordinate and facilitate "Rock Star" Welcome Home Celebrations for those returning here in NJ outside of Philly. YTD, we have shipped over 10,000 pounds of treats and hygiene products to show our support of those that sign the dotted line to protect and provide our freedoms. For 2013, we shipped over 33,000 pounds. It is very expensive to ship these packages as we spend $2000-$3000 a month on shipping and funds are running low. For more, please visit www.OperationYellowRibbonSouthJersey.org

We are most blessed with the pictured PJ guitar picks donated from various kind and generous people. A few are from my private collection as well. With all my heart, thank you to those that helped make this fund-raising effort happen with your generosity and giving spirit.

I will take the first 13 people who enter via making a donation of $50 to Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey. PM me for payment instructions but payments must be as a friends/family option to help us avoid the fees or an extra 5% is required to make up for the fees.

Once we have 13 people paid, I will draw winners. Each of the 13 will win a pick (one of the above pictured). Picks are as is as some are old and have been in collections for years etc. Some of the possible picks are worth more or equal to $50 and some aren't. Winners won't know what pick they won until receiving it, making the anticipation of opening your mail even more fun. If you enter, feel free to post here a picture of what you received! Once picks are in the hands of the "lucky 13", they are theirs to do with what they wish...trade them, keep them, use them on a guitar, flip them, whatever.

If over time I cannot gather 13 people to enter, I will simple refund all entries and sell these pick by pick for various prices to raise funds. I figured this way would be more fun then simply listing them for sale.

If I missed anything, please do not hesitate to PM me with any questions. I will try to answer all PMs as fast as I can but please be patient as I will be at work where it's hard to respond. PMs will be replied to in order. If I have more than 13 people wanting to enter, please understand I may have to turn down your offer to donate and enter etc.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to those that made this happen. I am at a loss for words to show my gratitude and I am simply amazed at the generosity found here in this little Pearl Jam universe we are all living in.

PS - I might even throw in a surprise bonus prize or two for one or two of the 13!!

    holy cow, this is filling up quick. I didn't expect this response. I'm guessing there will be people around the world angry at me like the 10c when limited stuff goes up for sale while they are sleeping LOL
    Thank you everyone as the response so far is beyond awesome. I need more picks LOL...

    I'm sitting here cross-referencing the picture with what people have received so far. Hahaha. I'm obviously keeping my fingers crossed for the PJ40 pick but in all honestly, anything in these pictures (even the Palm picks) are great considering where the money is going.

    Thanks again, Dave

    Awesome! I think there's a clear version of that pick out there too so now you have to find that one to go along with it LOL

    Some lucky runner up winner will be very happy (I hope) as I threw in a pretty valuable bonus item to someone who didn't win the Feels Like 40
