More on the Max Raffle

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,878]

The original idea for the Raffle to drive funds for Childhood Cancer Research cam from Tom Cornford who also is the caretaker for Max's tractor. Tom is donating the book he purchased in addition to his time and efforts. Since then, as you all are aware, Terry from ReDoYourHorse.com has been donating 5% of his sales to the charity drive, and I have also offered up my 2nd edition signed book should we reach our goal of $15,000! And Scott (whfan74) is also donating to the cause from the proceeds from his own personal show (it's too big to be called a meet 'n' greet)

Since then we have had 2 more pleges of additional funds.

Jordon from Jdog's Horse Ranch is going to donate 5% of his sales from the Big Show this year! I have met Jordon and his wife and can tell you they both are outstanding individuals. In a note that Jordon sent to me he said the following:

"I have been thinking and it would kill me if my son was in Max's shoes"

I couldn't say that better. I have a son too, and 2 daughters, and I couldn't imagine them (or any of your children) having to go through what Max had to endure. No parent should.

Michael Martino, the author of Straight From The Horse's Mouth, A Wheel Horse Story has also upped the ante by donating not one but TWO brand new FIRST edition books signed by Cecil and himself. You all know just how rare these books are and it is likely that an opportunity to obtain a BRAND NEW signed first edition will NEVER come around again.

But wait, there's more:

Michael is working on a 3rd edition, and will be giving ONE copy of the 3rd edition book when it is available.

If you haven't purchased your chance to win one of these treasures, what are you waiting for? Go to the Shop now and buy your chance for only $10 and you will have the opportunity to own one of these near priceless treasures, but mostly to help put an end to Childhood Cancer!

WOW this contest just keeps getting better, how much money has this generated to date?

< $500 which is very disappointing especially considering the cause.
