Raffle Prize opportunity... Fundraiser for youth

Ok, here is what I go for you if anyone is interested. I am the Program Director at a small town, single unit YMCA, in Indiana. Each year we have a golf outing at a local course to raise money for our "Partners of Youth Campaign." The money collected goes to help scholarship community youth so that disadvantaged youth or ones from tough situations are able to partcipate when they otherwise would not have been able to. Last year to help increase the money we collect, we also tried something new. We did a "Golf Ball Drop." It was a great success and we have decided to do it again. The event takes place on June 10th, 2009.

What is a Golf Ball Drop, you ask? Basically, the staff and board members of the Y sell 1000 tickets numbered 1-1000. On the day of the event, 1000 golf balls with the number 1 to 1000 written on them are loaded into a helicoptor from a local hospital. The helicopter then goes up and hovers 30 feet above a hole off the fairway (they do it there, so it does not put a lot of divits in the fairway or on the green). The golf balls come down out of a small chute and then onto the ground. It takes a few minutes for all of the balls to drop. Whoever purchased the ticket number of the corresponding ball that is in the hole or closest to the hole is the winner.

The tickets are $5 a piece and you get to choose from the following prizes:
*Scotty Cameron Puter & TaylorMade R-9 Driver
*uPRO GPS Sytem (for golf carts)
*Diamond Bracelet (1 carat, 14k gold)
*Nintendo Wii & Will Fit Program

-Prize Values $350-$899
-Winner need not be present to win.

If you would like any tickets, please let me know. You can post below or send me an email(Probably better since I need your address and phone number). I need to know your name, address, and phone number. Also I need to know what prize you want if you would happen to be the winner. (They auction off the other prizes that the winner did not choose). I can fill your stub out for you and hold onto it if you like, or if you want I will mail your stub to you. (I will take care of the stamp.) You can send cash, or a check made out to the Miami County YMCA, or if it is easier you can send me a paypal payment to musclec@hotmail.com

Thanks to anyone who wants a ticket(s). The youth of Miami County also thank you. Remeber, you don't need to be present to win. I will make sure you prize is packaged well and shipped to you.

Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to be as clear and descriptive as possible. I will be glad to answer any questions. I took a picture of the actual tickets, but I could not lod it on photobucket tonight for somereason. I have dial-up and the upload page would not completely load. I will try to get the pic up again soon.

Thanks again!

Dave I'll be buying a few tickets here soon.

United way is a big part of the funding for these programs and they've been hit hard with not meeting their budget and are cutting back on programs like the one Dave runs. This is a good way to help someone in our family. Dave selflessly works a job to help others and in doing so has given up on more money elsewhere. We need folks like Dave working in these programs. If you can help at all this is a good program and a great way to help a small community
