JDsleds Charity Sled #2

[400brian]

Most states today require a "license" to hold a raffle. That usually requires a not for profit designation. While I like the idea of St. Judes, or cancer research, or other worthy projects if we used the Hall of Fame's number/license it would make life easier with regards to legality. Rereading what I just wrote I'm not sure I was clear. I would suggest ONE place to donate to and that we use their "people" to get the license.

Yes, that was the problem last time, and as I recall, you have to be a licensed non-profit for a number of years before you can legally hold a raffle. The HOF wasn't much interested in letting us use their license the last time, I don't know what the problem was. I believe the options are: donate the sled to the HOF and sell their raffle tickets, or do it all ourselves, ( hooking up with an org with a license like we did last time ) and donating the $$ to whoever we wish, in any amounts we wish.

I have no preference either way.

Brian, yes, exactly.

Matt ..... is this going to stay the official thread for this project?

[WinnipegStPaul9]

I hope so, I hate multiple threads for the same subject. :-)

10-4! on the multiple threads for the same subject

To keep donations of parts and such on track, might not be a bad idea to keep things to one thread. But then again, I don't really think it's a big deal which one is the "offical" thread either.

Brock and Dustin: are you guys going to keep tabs on parts, donations and labor needed? Or is Matt organizing the rodeo? No matter how it gets done, you guys rock for taking this on, and have as much support as I can offer.

How about I make a new "official" topic.

Joe, I will be providing any support they need when it comes to parts, donations, etc, but I'm not going to start that until the guys can get a look at the sled and get a wish list together.
