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.

Can everyone who has donated already please email confirmations of your donations? I would like to confirm everyone before the raffle starts.
I suggest you PM the DDFers on the list who have not sent confirmation yet.

But we'll have to agree that this wouldn't be extended any longer.

I agree to extending but to be fair you'd have to ask everyone participating.

I think we should not extend this deadline, but we can start a new raffle with a new deadline immediately afterwards. Obviously that would only work if new prizes are donated.

With 15 prizes we can take a middle road. Every day starting tomorrow night we can raffle off one prize until after 15 days we get to the main prize and by then we may even reach 20k!

I agree. Though pushing the date off a couple of days or even up to a week would probably not bother anyone.

I would think that the MAIN reason why people donated is for the cause, and not for the raffle.
If so, I am sure all would agree to make reasonable adjustments if it brings in more $$$$.

You can't change the terms of the raffle after it's already begun.

You'd need everyone's consent, and you'll never get it by tomorrow at the time of the drawing.
