Lure Raffle To Help Jacob & His Family

[Murph]

I am looking out for the guys that donated lures and tackle - and a nice rod to the winner. I would like to pass out boxes of lures to whom ever wants them - while I cant do that, I can pass out some stuff to say thanks to everyone.

hey murph, how bout u give everyone an update as to what is available with the raffle.

lets keep this up to date

[Murph]

Hey Shark,

Everything up for raffle is:

9 Canyon Offshore Lures
16 or so offshore rigs and lures from Chumstain
10 Sea Withches and 2 daisy chains from Off the Hook
Custom Spreader Bar and assorted resin head lures from SharkJP
At least 2 dozen offshore lures from WahoonBox and Capt Brian (pics to come)
A beautiful custom built rod from Double D
and additional lures on the way from Chili and Capt D and a few others.


HOWEVER THE DONATIONS TO DATE ARE TOO LOW, WE NEED ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO HELP OUT JACOB AND TO MAKE THIS RAFFLE A SUCCESS. I could count on one hand the number of donations that have come through so far.

You are looking at at least $450 worth of tackle of for grabs, but we need more donations.

Murph,
How much money do we have thus far? Do we have a goal amount prior to the raffle? Let me know and I will go to work on my end - the hospital staff.

Fishdoc, we didnt set a goal per se but I think those of us involved would love to raise atleast $500 to $1,000 or more.

as of now, I believe we have something in the neighborhood of maybe $100 though others have pledged money on the way. However in talking with the family they have only received raffle donations from two individuals.

Is there any way we can get raffle ticket books printed? I will be socializing with 200+ fishermen in the upcoming weeks, would be easy to unload a bunch if I had something in hand.

The family has received checks from only 2? I'm wondering if mine got lost, I haven't heard anything back...

[Murph]

I can get some books printed for you D, your check has been received by the family, they email me with each check received. They are mailing a receipt/ticket to you. I forwarded your email info etc. to them.

If you can get some tickets sold that would be great.

[fishdoc]

If you can take a picture of the raffle prizes and email it to me, then I will get some more money their way.
