Quote
Dearest DDF Family!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude and thanks for the outpouring of love which I see, I am humbled by my fellow DDF'ers who took it upon themselves to join the fundraising effort and help me in my time of need. It gladdens my heart to be part of such a family, who will go out of their way to help their fellows in need, whether it is financial or otherwise. I will be forever grateful to all of you, to those who donated the prizes, to those who donated money, and to those who made this a reality.

Thanks again!



What's this all about?
If you've been following this thread you may know that a longtime DDF'er who has a young family was arrested for being on the scene at the time of the sting operation.  Many of you have probably even met him in the real world. Several generous DDF'ers have donated prizes to be raffled off to bring attention to the defense fund created on his behalf.

The whole point is that Dan wouldn't say "look at DDF". He would actually answer. Or they could chit chat about more advanced things. How many people would pay decent money to get Dan in a 1 on 1 format? I bet a lot would

So if I donate $200 I will have 10 entries to the $20 raffle, 4 entries to the $50 raffle, and 2 entries to the $100 raffle.

And all donated prizes will fall into those 3 categories.

Any objections?

But he's not going to answer the really good stuff so it may be good for a noob, but for an experienced guy it's a waste of an hour.

A one time vacation planning concierge would be great! Maybe a time limit of like 1-3 hours is best.

I think if we're posting this on Facebook it may be a good idea t write that winners must provide proof of donation.. Anyone can send a screenshot of their credit card statement easily enough.
