Seems like it is time to raise more funds for shipping boxes. But this fundraiser isn't going to offer any prizes! Just a challenge!

I'll understand if you don't read any further. That is OK!

I've been thinking about how many thousands of brave men and women sacrifice so much protecting my family. So I figured I could donate $10 for each member of that family living under my roof. With my wife, 3 kids, and myself that comes to $50.

So the challenge is who will join me in donating $10 for every member of their household? $10 a person doesn't seem much to ask!

Screw it. You gotta have prizes, Leo!

I'll donate a 10 pack of Cubans. I'll do a random drawing for anyone who donates $20 or more dollars. The amount doesn't matter. You donate, you get one chance.

Apache - We need a cutoff date.

Sweet idea, guys! I'll send on my $30 this week for my family.

Are we going to have a move for stick donations in this one, or just cash?

I see this as a donation, due to fact I never win:(

Its not about me though, so for the troops my household accounts for a $30 pledge.

Will send to Schmitty in the AM.

I think they need cash more than cigars, but I'll also give an entry to anyone who donates 50 cigars.

So, you can get 2 enties if you donate cash and cigars. I'm going to leave it up to Apachelm to keep a running total of who donates what.

If there are more than 15 donors, I'll add another 5 or 10 pack of something.

See post #5 this is over.

No seriously thanks for the donations TJ as well. You guys tell me what you think as far as duration. Is 2 weeks too long? 1 week not long enuf?

LOL! That was funny Apache! LOL!

Why not end it on Sunday the 26th at Midnight. That gives 2 solid weeks and if people are waiting on a payday or seomthing, it should fall by then.

Just my 2 cents...

You need a running total of donors and prizes...

OK...

after discussion with others.. I modify my "fiver" offer: Each $10 donation gets one chance to win my "fiver"....so the more you give, the more chances you get... that way, everyone gets a shot at this dream "fiver"! And every one knows I can't count....just sayin.

It's for the men and women at the tip of the spear.... so dig deep.

Also I am taking TJ's suggestion of Midnight on Sunday the 26th for the cutoff. That will be C-Bid time or EST. Thanks for all who choose to donate.
