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.

1) I can have this posted on thecooljew.com as well as several other websites someone just needs to make a article and state that people must must send proof of donation to a specified email!

2) I am willing to donate 15K BA or SW if we reach the 15K mark and 1k points for each 1k after that!!!!

I messaged Dan in regards but he has yet to respond most likely due to a personal issue he has with me :(

But my above offers stand

The webpage is for the publicity, and basic information of the cause and about the raffles.

One well written article to COLlive, vusizneias, yeshivaworld etc. will do much more than a website. Did anyone contact the people running this fund?

And I don't have to check my email till we pick the winners right? And if their email isn't in my inbox when the winner is picked than we pick a different winner...

Technically it's more complicated than that. There was a story from a long time ago where there was a raffle and after the winner was picked they discovered that someone who was supposed to be in it didn't have a ticket in for him (or someone had 2 by mistake?). The halachic ruling given was that since he didn't have a chance to win (or had more chances than he was supposed to?) the entire raffle is invalidated.
See here and here and unrelated but very interesing and often relevant here
