Too bad you have to be present to win!   #ilivetoofarfromallthefun

Do you know anyone that is going? Maybe they might stand in for you.

I just wish there was a way for those of us who are unable to attend to buy tickets...

Seems like a great cause and great prize, win win!

We discussed opening the raffle to the forum but the logistics, shipping unknowns and money issues made it too challenging.  It’ll still gonna generate some funds for a very worthy cause.  Thanks again @Tspud1.

Thank you for your generosity @frazzdaddy!!
we’ll pm you tomorrow to cover the details.  100% goes to the Rowan County charity. Way to kick off Butt Blast and it’s charitable core with a Bang!

I have a feeling we'll be raising several hundred from this raffle alone. Good stuff!

We’re hoping to approach 800 for the local charity.

There will be a 20 from the bucky camp come April.

I’ll be happy to make a contribution, but it will have to be early while I still have the motor skills to remove the appropriate number of bills from my wallet!

I'm thinking ahead by appointing a designated consciouser this year.

Friday night bump for a great charity. Nothing like selfless bump to enhance your post count. 😝

Looking forward to meeting some eggheads at BB. Come enjoy and participate in the BB charity.

People need help everywhere. We have a chance to make a positive impact on someone's day, while sharing good times with friends, amongst the best people I know, you folks on the forum.

Great times, crazy fun with friends, great food, and supporting a charity. Tough to beat that combo.

Just got out of therapy from last year.....ready to go again this year......

Being local I am well aware how good Rowan helping ministries is for the community. In fact they are one of the better ran shelters and food banks in the state mostly because of folks like you. My wife heads up several food drives through the local churches during the year. Have peace of mind that every dollar given is put to very good use.

We vette our charities but nice to hear the local perspective.

This is awesome to hear Brent, thanks!

Attendees, please bring 5’s and 20’s ( the Ben’s are for me and petting zoo entrance) for the raffles to make our amateur lives easier. We’re looking forward to meeting everyone and some amazing eats.
