    Seriously! OYR gets over 5000 lbs of candy and I will be swimming in it like donald duck by this weekend
    With that said, let's give it an hour and pick the grand prize winner...
    i answered a lot of PMs this morning about asking how to donate so if anyone winds up donating after 2:30 pm EST, we will just add them to the pool but obviously they would only be elig for prizes that are still left etc.
    Be back in an hour with our first winner!

    congrats to today's daily surprise winner! its a very rare and amazing item that she won!!

    The prize arrived today! I am incapable of posting pics (yeah, yeah...I know...photobucket, copy and paste URL in the little picture box here, click on "post comment"...I still have issues). I received an old school PJ gym/duffle bag. Green and gold. Sturdy cloth (not that plastic-y stuff). Good for stuffing plenty of merch. :smiley:Thank you, elwayvedder! You are awesome!!!!!!!
    wow. that's awesome.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    before we get to the grand prize winner, who will have their pick of any of the prizes listed on the first 2 pages, I need to ramble on for a bit.
    Never in my PJ fandomness have I seen this level of giving, support, love and friendship. Never and there has been a lot. TRUST ME. A LOT.
    This has blown away all things in the past. Whether it was the help and donations in 2009 in closing out the Spectrum (happy 7th anniversary SPECTRUMMMM!!)..or any of the other fundraisers and things done here in the forums since then...this has been the top one. I am just blown away.
    I mean the level of giving here was just off the charts. So much so that at one point, I was turning down people offering donation items simply because I wouldn't be able to keep up with everything and i would be drawing winners until next year...but then the financial donations kept coming in so i decided i owed it to everyone to start accepting prize donations again and voila, they just kept coming in...

    So here we are...drum roll please...
    Before expenses of buying prizes, shipping those prizes, paypal fees (when we had to start incurring them) and so on, are you sitting down?
    DRUM ROLL MR CAMERON....

    .,...

    For OYR & GTL, to be split 50/50 after expenses, we grossed well over $5K!!!
    WOW!!
    Unreal. My expectations were blown away. This helps (your help) in so many ways, I could go on and on all day. So thank you everyone. To the people who bumped and cross posted on facebook, to the people who offered prizes, to the donors, to those who came up with incentives to get more donations, and so on....we are all winners thanks to you....
    Last but not least, we have so much love here that there will be even more random prizes drawn and sent out to anyone who doesn't win anything. I will keep drawing names and send out prizes until I am out of everything!! So hang in there...if you don't hear from me, it may take weeks or months, but you may still hear from me...
    THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU GIVE & NOTHING THAT YOU TAKE...
    and now to the 1st grand prize winner where they have their choice of any prize on the list including the 96 Emek:
    Congrats go to:
    ldent42
    ...you are on the clock to pick!!
    Thank you everyone! More to come, be patient with me as I go back and forth drawing winners, getting addresses and getting things shipped out from me or from others who donated prizes.

    and things just keep getting more amazing...
    Ident42 has selected the Emek holy grail 96 poster
    and HAS DONATED THE POSTER BACK to OYR/GTL. Ident now wants OYR/GTL to benefit even further and has asked that it be sold to a great fan here on Lost Dogs (if not, then ebay or Facebook etc). We will start a new thread soon with the poster for sale benefiting OYR/GTL!!!"
