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 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.

The end.

Why can't we get peoples consent? At least try if it'll raise more money.

If anyone does not consent with waiting until November 6th, say so.

If you remain silent, your silence will be interpreted as consent to the new terms.*

Can't add terms after someone agreed to and acted on something totally different. It would invalidate the initial donations at best. :P

By all means, feel free to try.

But if even one doesn't agree, or cannot be reached, changing the date of the auction would be inappropriate.

Not allowed according to US law to my knowledge or Torah

Personally I'm all for an extension if it means more money donated, but it just doesn't seem right to those wanting to win the prizes.

+1I 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 $$$$.
+1
In addition to that, since every Jewish raffle in history (IME) has been pushed off it should be as if original da'as of anyone including the raffle heads included push offs and adjustments...

Simple.
Yuneeq - Send out an email to all those that sent in their verification email, asking if anyone has an objection.
If anyone has an objection then it is as AJK said -

If we aren't pushing off this raffle we have to have a massive campaign at least for the last 24 hours.

Any ideas how to spread the word massively?

As always write an article and have it published by Collive, yeshivaworld, vusizneias etc...

Did anyone contact the people fundraising the money to publicize this?

Both of those should have been done...

Personally I think every jewish raffle gets extended and people realize that...but I'm not in charge of this raffle nor can I pick the winners as I'm quite nogeiah :)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
