On behalf of Mark, Lorie, Bikes4Tykes and DPMS, I would like to let you all know of a raffle to help raise funds for the holidays.
As the holidays approach, many of us can't help but to think of those whose lives need a little extra holiday cheer. It can be a particularly difficult time for children. This year, take a minute to help a child and you'll have a chance to win a terrific rifle from DPMS. Always willing to help the community, DPMS has thoughtfully stepped up to the plate to help Bikes4Tykes raise a few extra dollars. They have donated a Lo-Pro Classic rifle to be raffled off, with [b]ALL[/b] proceeds to go directly to the charity. Now you can give a little something and maybe walk away with a extra holiday cheer for yourself! [b]RAFFLE INFO - Tickets are $20/each - 75 tickets total will be sold[/b] Ticket Sales will be handled via paypal. Click the following link to purchase tickets: [size=6][red]SOLD OUT!!! THANKS EVERYONE!!![/red][/size=6] [i]The raffle will be held in NYC once the tickets have been sold. The rifle will be shipped directly from DPMS to the winners FFL.[/i] For more information on the organization, please check out: [url=http://www.bikes4tykes.org/]BIKES4TYKES[/url] [img]http://www.pantherarms.com/img/Logo.gif[/img] [size=6]DPMS LO-PRO CLASSIC[/size=6] [img]http://www.shooterstore.com//dpmsinc/images/rfa2-lpc.jpg[/img] For information on the Lo-Pro Classic, or other great Firearms and Accessories, check out: [url=http://www.pantherarms.com/]DPMS[/url] My sincere thanks to DPMS, Mark & Lorie, and DonR for making this effort to help others during the holidays! |

[red]I saw a Gunny on TV this mornin saying that they are running low on Donations this year![/red] View Quote Well, I don't know about elswhere, but greater New York is HUMMING with Toys For Tots right now. I've received a call from my League detachement asking for help with p/u and delivery next week. Since I just wnet to nights, I imagine I'll find the time. I can sleep after the 25th! [:D] Anybody in Metro NY/NNJ/SWCT that has a minivan or truck and would like to help out for a couple hours or a day, just IM me....[bounce] Edited to Add: with Reconbyfire's addition, we have sold 29 chances on the rifle as of this minute. Tell your friends not to miss out; at this rate it'll be sold out before midnight! |

Quoted: Money Sent for 2 tickets, but says there is no Pay Pal account for them yet. Also who is going to teh thing for the Bikes next Sunday at the NYPD ESU in the Bronx? View Quote Okay...first off, Marc if you go to ESU on SUNDAY, you'll be all alone.....it's on SATURDAY! 9 am to 1 pm [blue][b]Emergency Services Squad 3. 930 Fteley Ave (<--NOT a misprint) Bronx, NY 10472[/b][/blue] Use mapquest and you should be fine. You LI guys should try to carpool, like any pct., parking is at a premium on the block. Now, regarding ticket sales: Depending on how you have your Paypal account set up, credit card vs. checking account, and whether you are VERIFIED, some transactions clear faster than others. This is the first time we have used this method, and there seems to be as much as an 8 hour lag between posting "Paypal sent" in the thread and B4T having the money in its account. We are using Paypal "notifications of payment" emails, which are sent upon payment but BEFORE the payment "clears", to calculate ongoing ticket sales, and intend to cease when THAT number reaches the magic 75. This means that if in doubt, ACT QUICKLY, once the door closes, that's it. Lorie and Goatboy will be watching the list (I have to go to work tonight) and will post when ticket sales will cease. Sheesh! This dad-gum newfangled compooter-age stuff is starting to hurt my little head. [b]Good Luck to all![/b][bounce] |

ive been very lucky lately, feels good to help some kids and have a chance at another AR15 at the same time. money sent. bet there are not many tickets left

When I click on the paypal link, and set input the amount to pay, the next page gives me this:
Check these details and click the "Pay" button to complete your payment. Pay To: [email protected] User Status: This recipient is not yet registered. PayPal will send an email to the recipient explaining how to open an account and receive your transaction. Payment For: AR15.Com Raffle - Bikes4Tykes 2002 Quantity: 1 Currency: U.S. Dollars View Quote What gives? It says that the account isn't active, or that the user isn't registered? I know I can paypal stuff, because I've just done it today. Anyone know what the deal is? I wanna get in on this, but it seems that I can't pay for the tickets? -Gloftoe |

Helldog, new at this Paypal,sent funds for two tickets,then did a Paypal with Goatboy. It shows the transaction with Goatboy complete,but it shows the one with you as un-claimed,any idea what that means...anybody ?
|
|
For what it's worth, I received a receipt for payment for paypal a few minutes after filling out the form. I've never used paypal before.
|
|
I just talked to Helldog and the count is at around 60-65 tickets sold...
That means there's VERY FEW LEFT!!! [=)] The raffle will hopefully take place this weekend (a few items need to be finalized for this) and the drawing itself will be done by someone VERY special. I will let Mark go into all the details. I want to thank everyone for helping out and again throw a [b]very special thanks to DPMS[/b] for making this possible. [<|:d>] |
