tyrion Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 My son and I are doing a Goruck Light (https://www.goruck.com/en/light). The company was started by a retired Army Special Forces soldier. The company sells backpacks amount other things and puts on events like the one we are doing. Some of the money from the events goes to the Green Beret Foundation (http://www.greenberetfoundation.org). Rather than ask for donations, I thought I would raffle off some Scotch and Beer. With the going rate for the Yamazaki 18, I figure the value of the bottles is at least $400. Thefollowing bottles go to the winner: Yamizaki 18 Highland Park 18 Bourbon Big Sound Baller Stout Abyss 20012 Surprise Bottle $25 per ticket. The raffle will start October 28 at 8:00 P.M ending November 17 at 8:00 P. M. To hopefully make this easier, I set up a donation page for the GBF: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/michael-baker-8/goruck I set my goal at $500 but hope to get more. I will give 1 ticket for each $25 donation. If you donate, pm me to let me know how much and I will assign you a number. I will do the drawing with a random number generator. Thanks for your support!

n_maher Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 So you want us to wait until next week to donate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Feel free to donate any time. Â I will count them all towards the raffle. Â After I posted, I thought I might open it up to another website (thedivewatchconnection.com) which is a small website, a lot like HC but watch oriented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Guys, it starts tonight. I had a reason for delaying the start but decided to just start it now and let it run a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Done  Edit: I have some veteran patients who have done a similar (non-Special Operations) event and RAVED over it. Really challenging, but a great time, and really a fantastic way to bond. Good luck! Edited October 28, 2013 by jvlgato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Second prize? Â BTW, you're not letting Colin enter are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Second prize? Â BTW, you're not letting Colin enter are you? Good question. Â Maybe I should add a second prize. Â As much as I know Colin entering throws off the curve, I would still accept his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 It looks like we will have a 4 bottle second prize: Â BA Bigfoot Gates of Hell Life and Limb Tart of Darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was mostly joking, but I think that it's a good idea to have multiple prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 In. I can speak for Colin, he only likes wine, so no need to ship him the beer when he wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
