Charity Raffle for CARE: WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!

Blue Apple Herps

aka Matthew, PhD
The drawing was held and snakeboy99 is our winner!! Congratulations snakeboy99! And a BIG thank you to everyone else. Together we raised $95 that went directly to CARE.

I will be doing another raffle later this year that will benefit Toys for Tots like I did last year. This one is going to be a killer proven adult that'll hopefully raise some more money for an awesome charity! So be sure to keep your eyes open for the next charity raffle.

Here's the video of the drawing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhzvgKsjxok&feature=plcp

Please be sure to read through this post in its entirety. Thanks!

I still have this guy from last year, there's been lots of interest, but nothing solid. I don't really need the money from him so decided I'd rather do a charity raffle like I did at Christmas and get the money to those who need it more.

(See link to previous auction - it was a great success!! http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118410)

This time I'm doing it for CARE (http://www.care.org/index.asp). This organization fights global hunger and is a highly rated charity.

100% of the proceeds will go to the charity!!! I will post a screen shot verifying the money goes to CARE.

First up the snake. This is a male 2011 hypo blood 100% het lavender caramel. He will be amazing in a number of projects. From a hypo plasma x amber blood. This pic is of him as a hatchling, but he looks even more amazing now (wouldn't sit still for new picture, but even his hatchling pictures you can see just how nice of a blood he is!). Feeds great on f/t large pinks, probably ready for fuzzies.

Now the rules:

  • Tickets will be $1 per ticket
  • A maximum of 10 tickets per person - absolutely no exceptions (you can purchase less, but this is maximum)
  • A maximum of 100 tickets will be sold
  • To purchase tickets, please PM me here for payment information. Payment for tickets will be through PayPal as a "gift" so they don't leech any fees. DO NOT put gift/raffle/contest or anything related in any field. Just your CS.com user name
  • DO NOT send me money without first contacting me and getting OK - last time several people sent me money that I've done business with before and didn't tell me so I ended up overselling tickets by 5. PM me first!!
  • The drawing will be held once all 100 tickets are sold (lets do this CS.com and get $100 to CARE!)
  • I will print out user names on paper, cut up into squares (1 square = 1 ticket), put in a bowl, and draw the winner! Winner will be announced here!
  • After raffle, I will Paypal CARE the amount collected from raffle and will post screen shot verifying this donation happened so everyone can see that all the proceeds went to CARE
  • Winner is 100% responsible for shipping which will be $55 via FedEx priority overnight (not included in ticket price). This will be paid to me to cover shipping costs and is in addition to your raffle tickets.
  • If you do not want the snakes, are not willing to pay for shipping, live in NJ, etc, etc then please do not participate in raffle, just donate directly to CARE or any other organization to help out

I think that's it. Feel free to ask any questions if you have them. Let's do this again CS.com and get $100 to a really great charity and help out a bit! (please keep in mind that my job has me working like crazy and I can mostly only check my PMs at night, so keep that in mind if it takes me a while to get back to you. Thanks!)

Thanks Todd!! Still plenty of tickets left guys - here's your chance to get a killer snake for $1 and help a great cause. Everyone wins!
 
Hey Matthew....How about a current pic of this guy? Might help move some more tickets!!!:dancer:

Just a thought!:grin01::grin01::grin01:

Todd
 
Todd, I'll try to get one, but this guy is quick and feisty!!

Just an FYI, to not prolong this and force those who have already gotten tickets, I am closing the raffle on September 9th and will have the drawing next week. So get your tickets while you can!
 
Another 10 gone! Only 45 left - raffle tickets stop being sold this Sunday so get 'em while you can! Drawing will be held early next week.
 
I told my hubby that the drawing is next week so he can start praying that I lose. ;) ...but just posting this to bump for a good cause!
 
Bumping again for the last Day!!! Don't miss your chance on helping a good cause and winning a sweet baby.
 
I know PayPal makes transactions easier, but I won't use it. That kinda stops me from helping out in cases like this. Sorry, wish I could help.
 
A few last minute tickets sold. Once I have the final rad count I'll do the drawing. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. I'll video it and post a screenshot of proof of money going to CARE. Good luck everyone who bought tickets!!
