+El Diablo Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I'm offering one of my hiking staffs for chairity. this is a 5.00 per ticket raffle. The raffle will go until December 1st. All procedes will go to "Make a Wish Foundation" On behalf of GC and myself. This a chairity that gives wishes to children with life threatning illnesses. This charity is very close to me as I have a 7 year old twin grandaughter that has recently gotten her wish to go to Disney land. You can either send your donation for a ticket to paypal at staff@geo-hikingstick.com or make checks payable to "Make A Wish Foundation" and send them to Jerry Carter 560 Gideon Grove Church Rd. Stokesdale, NC. 27357 I will anounce the winner on December the 1st. If you belong to a Geocaching organization please link to this post or to any website that you can get it on. Also this will drop in the fourms very quickly...so if you would, bump it back to the top. El Diablo Everything you do in life...will impact someone,for better or for worse. http://www.geo-hikingstick.com [This message was edited by El Diablo on October 11, 2003 at 05:52 PM.] Quote

+El Diablo Posted October 11, 2003 Author Posted October 11, 2003 Just wanted to note...if you pay by paypal they take a percentage.

+El Diablo Posted October 15, 2003 Author Posted October 15, 2003 Just to give you an update. So far I have recieved 160.00 through paypal. This dosen't count the checks that are being mailed! I was thinking of carving on the winning staff... "This staff raised xxx dollars for "Make A Wish Foundation" What do you think? Keep the donations coming...they will be greatly appreciated!

+Cooter13 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I say, "Ausgeschichnicht". Poor German spelling, for those that can correct me, please do!!! I would think that the winner, if they so choose, could also have the childs name placed on it. Weird question, but could you use a brass plate with something engraved? That way if the owner of the "Staff of Giving" would like to "loan" it out, they could personalize it in some way?

+Cooter13 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 The statement was in reference to quote:given away to a child who needs it. I was just trying to think of a way that the "Staff of Giving" could be used, traded, whatever word one would choose, to pass along the joy of geocaching. I was thinking along the lines of a trophy name plate that can be engraved and "tacked" on the staff.
