    I'll definitely be in on this. I also might have something for the raffle. Everybody has some sort of cancer connection it seems. I work in healthcare and recently had 7 patients at the same time (of about 13 total on my caseload) that had a diagnosis of brain cancer. Scary and weird. Usually I'll have 1-2 at a time.

    I say we blow that $2500 goal right out of the park, help RK conquer that fear of heights and walk the halo. :smile:

    Don't it make me smile!

    It might say in the link but do you know the deadline to donate? I will be happy to donate but would prefer to wait until the 15th if possible. Damn kids broke me with all the expectations of being feed and their new toy guns from Tombstone.

    You have until October 3rd to donate!
    Oct 3 - great!

    I planned a weekend baseball trip to Pittsburgh (next weekend) the weekend before the Empty family his the Outer Banks (week after). Mrs Empty isn't happy about the cash going out the door this month.

    who the hell wears the pants in your family?....oh, yeah.....right :no_mouth:

    RK, how does the donating of items for the raffle work? Would they be physically mailed to you? And what sort of items - like PJ stuff?

    I know, all these questions :)

    it's better for the raffle donors to keep their stuff.....RKCNDY can assign #s to raffle participants and then use a "random number generator" from the internet (or a hat)....donors and winners can then make shipping arrangements....so, if you donate, you also ship.

    clear as mud?

    I can't see clearly now, the mud ain't gone :whistle:

    Actually I do now get the process, but still need to know about what types of raffle things?

    Happy to ship :)

    Here people seem to like PJ stuff. Vinyl, posters, sticker packs, pins, (i would probably stick stuff together, like say a few pins and a few stickers as a set). I'll toss in a gift card to the 10c shop. Uh, Rob? Any other ideas?

    If you do a raffle let me know. I won a poser from the last raffle I probably wont frame. It is still in the tube and I would be happy to donate and add. Plus I have a few pieces of smaller vinyl like a Music in Film numbered edition I would be happy to add to the raffle as I am not playing them and someone else would want.

    I am doing the raffle, I just added the few things I could dig out now. I will go through more stuff on Friday to add, or I may hold back on good stuff as I get closer to the date. Just PM me, and I will add to the list. (probably should break up the post so it's easier to read)
    Thanks for your support!
