Kirkham Raffle tickets...

We have other prizes. I can't read DV's mind. Even if we raised $100,00 from ticket sales by the time you give the raffle winner their choices to pick and the first one obviously picking the Kirkham car and the next winner picking a lesser prize and so on, we would be giving up a lot of prizes and NOT raise as much as we could.

American Cancer Society can, but we may not be able to. I just am not subscribing to the notion to giving back to the Cobra Community. The car has to be targetted to a larger audience than what is in here. I doubt seriously we could sell 500 tickets in here. God, I hope I am wrong. We have 5 months to do so, and we haven't even agreed on how much for each ticket.

Bill, I have no doubts in our ability to sell 2500 at $25.00 each.
That falls way short of what the car is worth. That is what I am talking about. That is only $62,500!!

Yes, higher bidder will pay retail tops. What is a Completed Kirkham (NOT a roller, but a COMPLETED Kirkham] worth? It still leaves all the OTHER prizes in tact. If the raffle does not produce revenue equal or exceeding that amount, then what?

Not my deal, I am just being difficult I suppose floating some unpopular idea to those who want the chance to win a nice car for the price of a raffle ticket. That is nice, but I doubt it that is what other raffles for other charities set as a goal. I would have bet, it is "How can we make the most out of a generous donation".

Let's ask Kirkhams, would they be happier if their car was given to some lucky ticket holder who may or may not be in the Cobra community, who may may not want a Cobra, but turns around and sells it for $100,000 while the raffle itself only brings in $60,000 or if they knew that their donation had a bigger impact on the cause.

Hell, everyone in here disagrees with me, why should they be any different. Seriously folks, all I am doing is suggesting other options before it is too late. Once the decision is made we will have to live with it. I have no agenda of my own. Glad to help, or create commotion to get others to think,act, help whatever...
