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.

You're asking if a person sponsoring a $1,000 prize gets the equivalent of 10 $100 donations?

Or donate and YPMV  ;)

If SF picks up, and you asked such a question, you are automatically debited until balance is < $100 after which your account gets frozen.

Not in so many words (not every prize had a clear $ value), but maybe one entry into each raffle or something like that.

Well you have to define what you want if you are asking for peoples approval. I think one entry into each raffle sounds fair if the item is valued over $100. But it just makes things complicated and I was told
Don't complicate things that aren't complicated.
so I guess propose your idea in detail and see what others say.

How about this: if the approximate value of the prize is >$100, then 1 entry into each raffle; $50-100, then 1 entry into the $20 and $50 raffles, etc.

As far as keeping things from getting too complicated, the G doc could simply say ">$100 Prize" under Donated and 1 under each pool. That way it won't mess up the total collected.

Just my $0.02

IMHO sponsors should not be in the raffle.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

For their own prize or all the prizes? As long as they are not the ones doing the actual drawing, I dont think we should punish them for sponsoring!

Sponsors are not being punished. How about we let the sponsors decide so we don't have a 20 page debate about it.

The problem there is that they are getting too caught up in the overall scheme and if everyone is innocent or guilty when the focus should be more on how in this specific case this man was uninvolved in the scheme.
