Saturday morning bump!
I want to say a special thanks for the generous folks who have made first, second and third donations after getting paid. I've received several notes from people saying they were getting paid and were peeling off some of their check to help this cause, as well as others who have donated each time they've been paid - a sincere thanks from Dennis and me! We're now at $7273.09 raised! |

You more than deserved those Moon Pies for all the work you are doing putting on this raffle. I just hope Dennis, Mark and all the others that helped to get all of this together reward themselves with something special.
I hope you had some R.C. Cola to wash all that down with. |

View Quote I never anticipated the raffle portion of this project to be so involved and time consuming. I don't like that John has had to take so much of his time to accomplish this, but he has done an incredible job at it. Thanks again! |

In again for the same as my last. IM sent and funds will be going out shortly.

Alright, Sunday morning bump and update!
We had a great overnight and are down to 50 tickets left in this roll with $8121.53 raised! I still have some people waiting on their paychecks, so I may have to go buy another roll of tickets. Shout out to Eagle 34 who upped his membership to Gold and IceCold1 with his Gold level donation! We also have a new top donor, with another very generous donation from BajaGringo, who is now atop the leaderboard - thanks Brother! We have 6-days remaining until we shut down ticket sales, do an audit, and then select the winner on Sunday the 25th! We're filling the bowl and as a reminder, I will be moving the tickets from the bowl to something else before the drawing. They look really nice all layered up, but there's no way I could ever mix those correctly so, I need to move them and give them a thorough mixing before a winner is selected. |

@Draconis
Your IM box is full so I can't send you your ticket numbers. |

I'd suggest combining Prize 5,6, and 7 into 1. You're going to spend a lot on shipping for those items each.

Evening bump - we're up to $8827.71 after fees!
People are making 2nd and 3rd donations and thanks to Jasoncar40 for his second donation that lofted him to Platinum Status! We've had additional prizes added also: Draconis donated a NIB LaRue MBT. EM901 donated a 2A Sticker package with NIW Pmag and, TerryC donated a NIW LaRue Nalgene Bottle. |

Morning bump! We broke $9,000 raised last evening and now stand at $9,044.32 raised after PayPal fees and 2170 tickets sold!!!!!
Thanks to BajaGringo for another generous donation - and we can't forget those handmade tortillas he's donating as a prize! I updated the donors stats and added them to the OP - I'll keep updating the donors using the OP. Lastly, per the rules (we have a written set of rules on file that are more extensive than what's in the OP), there will be one prize per person. That offers the best opportunity to spread the prizes to the donors. I will be drawing the Grand Prize Rifle Package first, then the remaining prizes in order, Prize 1 through to the end. |

Alright, I was behind but I have caught up with the overnights.

This morning's update is especially significant as we are over $10,000 raised. We had people donating for the first time yesterday and all the way to their 5th donation (MDW) to help us over the $10K goal!
Here are the people that threw in to get us over (in no particular order): ThreeMike Soonerman Hookem28 Sheier EndofDays MDW (5) Constitutionlvr Blksep Sparkem Dl3s3l Sparkchaser774 Stylin7 And a single donation by FMJunkie that put us over the top and almost de-throned BajaGringo as Top Donor! We are now at $10,708.14 raised after PP fees. This is wonderful news for Warrior's Ascent! We still have people making donations and we will keep going through COB today. If for some reason you need more time, please drop me an IM. |
