That means a lot to me...and there's actually gonna be a pretty funny "oh really" when all is said and done..it's a small thing, but GD's head may collectively implode--in a good way.. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

*******UPDATE*********** So this is what's it's come down too! With any luck I'll have numbers pulled tonight! I'll make one last trip to the mail box when I get home and post w hatever payments hit. What I need out of you guys: -check the OP for your name, number of tickets and raffle numbers(s). If you're not there or there is a mistake IM me immediately. Please don't IM me at this time for anything other than a mistake, you're not on there or some other inaccuracy. I get roughly 50 IM's a day thanking me for what we've been able to do and while it's appreciated, it takes up a ton of time, and as I've said before, this isn't my raffle, it belongs to you folks, the members. -be patient. Once I get a final count, I'll draw numbers. This is gonna entail me wrangling a 6 and 3 year old, some form of recording device (iPhone probably) and YOUTUBE. -be even more patient. I got so many double post/double email, confirm-reconfirm messages it's not even funny for the prize list. The prize packages have been divided as best I could (and NorCal, thank bro). Some folks may win stuff they don't want. Welcome to a raffle. -Complaining is frowned upon, but trading is encouraged. The final winners (and the respective donors) will be made plain and clear. If you got something someone else wants, re-gift that thing! Swap, exchange, barter--whatever. The prizes are awesome, but what we did for Brandon and his family to me, is nothing short of amazing. -I'm gonna fuck something up. There are just to many moving pieces to not miss something. It won't be intentional. I will keep all tickets together until all the swag is accounted for. If at the end of this we find there is still stuff on the table, I'll grab as many tickets as needed to do this thing right. -This raffle is for you. What that means is winners and donors are gonna have to communicate (no homo). That's right, talk about your wants, hope, dreams and fear of a bean-free future. No, seriously. Please communicate with each other. If you've offered a prize, THANK YOU. Please reach out to the respective winner of that prize and vice-versa. Please utilize me and the mods as a last resort. Figure out what works best for both of you and honor Brandon's raffle accordingly. I'm tallying final numbers, but this is sitting at just about $11,000.00 If you fuck it up, I will forgive you. Believe it or not I think ALL of GD will forgive you. I said it before and I will say it again. THANK YOU, FOR DOING THIS!!!!!! That means a lot to me...and there's actually gonna be a pretty funny "oh really" when all is said and done..it's a small thing, but GD's head may collectively implode--in a good way.. Well that should be entertaining. Either way, excellent work! |

OK folks…All names apparently are accounted for (even if there are typos). All the prizes (to the best of my knowledge) are accounted for and listed in the OP. I know not everyone is gonna love the way things got grouped. All I can say is there was a lot to work with, and I tried to make it pretty even across the board. All in all 12 members are gonna walk away with some great stuff.
I hope when people look at the packages they get a sense of what members here contributed. It's a big deal. West coast time here is 8:00PM and I just got home. I want to dole out prizes like everyone else but I want to do it right. If I can't pull everything together in the midst of completing the bedtime routine for the kids (parents, you know what I'm talking about, bed, teeth, bathroom break, water, another bathroom break, two books) than I'm gonna have to push it until tomorrow. As stupid as it sounds, my sole motivation for taping the drawing is for transparency. Not that anyone would feel like it was rigged, but with the money collected, and the sacrifice made not only with money donations, but prizes as well, I think it's 100% fair that everyone see's how the winners got picked. I hope you all agree. |

I wanted to see the kiddo's drawing the tickets.
That would have been cute to watch but given the excitement it would have generated, it would be 10PM when you got them wound down to goto bed. |

Bravo to T-1 (and I'm sure the family for putting up with his stress during this).
The prize packages look great! and good luck to all that have helped support Brandon and Co. by donating. I also want to extend an offer to any winner that happens to be in the East Texas area for a steak dinner (cooked by yours truly), tater salad and an ice cold Pepsi. Or Dr. Pepper if you're one of those heathens. |

Nice job!
And for the poor soul that wins package F, Along with the laser pet exerciser, I'm going to toss in a Wyoming knife, so you'll have more than one way to skin the cat! |

Ok guys, while you're waiting, drop on into the main thread.
Maybe offer a prayer if you're so inclined, or just an expression of well wishes. Might help your chances.... And if it doesn't, it's what this is all about anyway...... |

Just had a thought and yeah, it might cost some of you more money.
Many of us have weapons that we associate with the great men that have shaped our lives (fathers, grandfathers, brothers, etc). Could we get one of our vendors to build an AR-15 especially for baby Aria. Christina could select a picture of Brandon to be photo engraved on the mag well as well as a brief inscription. The engraved Geissele triggers are very nice, but for a daughter, I think that the picture should be on the outside. Maybe some pink furniture? I'm thinking we could give Aria something to cherish forever. Obviously, Christina would have to be the person to take possession for now. Anyone have connections with a manufacturer or know how to make this happen? Obviously, it would be great if a vendor could produce something along these lines, and even better if they would be willing to donate it. If no donation is possible, 20 people @ $50 should cover the purchase price (or 50 people @$20). Thoughts? If others agree, I'm in for $50. |
