Thank ya!

And Great job T-1!!

I'm betting t-1 will defer that to you.

I can't even imagine all the effort he has put into this.



I want to thank everyone for donating but we really need to give a big giant slap on the back to t-1.



 

To T-1 & his helpers that put this all together!

Can't wait to see the prize packages.

Dead right.

And I am in agreement. As much as I get a headache coming here sometimes, when the chips are down for a deserving person then the awesomeness of human beings shows up to allay my fears.

You guys are in my thoughts each and every day.  

HINT! HINT! HINT!
If we can win this HiPoint Carbine, it'd get us a starting point.

I wish I had the time. I will just give more. But the energy with this was more fun than just giving.

I just wanted to give a shout out to the entire ARF family that's gotten behind this amazing show of support for one of their own. You all are AWESOME and I've never been prouder of the shooting community than I am right now.

I'd also like to give a special shout out to T1 and NorCal for all they've done behind the scenes. It's been a monster undertaking, I'm sure, to spearhead this raffle... You guys are great for taking on such a worthy cause.

If my name/tickets are drawn during the raffle, I want to donate the prize(s) to T1 and NorCal for all their hard work and efforts. You guys deserve it... THANK YOU for all that you've done for Jeep and his family!

As always, Gig'em & God Bless!

+1

don't forget AndrewS in there.







 

I'm with NorCal on this..A very generous offer but one I'd have to respectfully pass on.  This raffle belongs to the members for the benefit of a member. It doesn't really get any better than that!

I'm confident we as a forum will find some other way to embarrass ourselves, but on this one----we're champions!!

Rock on brothers!

This site and it's members never cease to amaze when a brother is in need.  Thanks T-1 and all who donated prizes.  Best of luck to all who donated by purchasing raffle tickets.  And most of all, prayers, love, support, and strength to jeep and his amazing family!

No thanks are necessary.  I was just the list monkey. It was my way to contribute a little more than I did financially to jeep's family. Big list = more ticket sales/donations for them. If you want to thank me you can kick in some extra cash to them

Some of the prize package winners are going to be getting packages from all over the place for maybe 2-3 weeks!

How about a winner's thread?

With Pics!!

Minor correction to the  list, please change willganz 1--250 to wganz 1--250






ETA: Stupid tablet, couldn't select anything with it.

Oh, I did. I got trigger #47!

 

Come on lucky  #14

I'm checking back into this thread. Can someone update me on the raffle date? I have my part of the first prize ready to ship out.

Now that our community service for Brandon and his family is done and considering this post might be the longest AR15 post without a fight....... it's time to go back to being true AR15'commers.  So with that said....

All of you guys can suck it, I'm wining the grand prize.  You suckers can fight over the remains!

Still pulling for you Brandon!

I would def follow a winners thread!

late to reply, though I did pm t-1 with check sent by the deadline (that's how I roll). I'm in for one ticket under my screen name

Awesome prize packages,  this is truly amazing.

T-1, this is all thanks to you. Over $10,000 raised, wow. And a huge thanks to everyone that donated prizes as well, it couldn't have gotten this big without you guys.

Fuck. Forgot to send out my check

Any way to still to paypal?

 

Are you still planning on a live youtube event or something like that?



The packages look good so far! If you need help with anything, just ask.

"Live" in the sense I'd like to tape it--then post it so people know it's a square drawing..my 6 year old keep bugging me "is it time yet, is it time yet?"  So he's all in.

 

Im with the kid!

I know the drawing is coming up soon but I'm leaving to finish out archery season so I won't be back for a week or so. So if I'm fortunate enough to be drawn for anything, I will be back, just may be a few days late.

Is it still on for tomorrow? Any idea when the winners will be posted time wise?

*******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

Oh yeah..lastly, some of you didn't put your screen name on your checks or electronic payments. In those cases I listed (and will list) you by the name associated with your account. Thanks again!

Once again, Thank you for all your hard work T-1, NorCal and AndrewS!

Awesome! Hope everything goes smoothly for the drawing.

 

As to bartering, I hope it's understood that prize providers are responsible for shipping only to a designated winner of that prize.

After that, you're on your own

This is going to be fun for a while.

Thanks to all, and Good Luck!

UNFLIPPING REAL!!!

T-1 I bought tickets to support YOU in your desire to help Brandon which is a something I agree with.
I am fully prepared to laugh with you at all the craziness that ensues with your crew. Don't sweat the small stuff.

t-1, you're a rockstar.

Thank you T-1, AndrewS and NorCal_LEO as well as the many donors for all that you have done to make this raffle successful.

That is awesome!

THIS and all the guys that donated.

Thanks for the update.

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..

OOOOOOhhhhhhh, plot twist!

Thanks to everyone who made this happen. Wish I could have done more but I a broke college student. The support this community gives is remarkable! Keep it up guys.
