Win a Hiking Staff for Charity


El Diablo

Recommended Posts

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.

OK. You had to bring it there. I can't stand to lose. I'll match your $25. And raise you another $5. I'm in for $30.

 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Because now I am Lost.

If I can get one of your staffs for $50, I'll consider the money well spent...even if I can't get one. You will receive payment shortly. (Ante up!)

 

And just in case you haven't ever looked at El Diablo"s profile, here is an excellent portrait of our charitble host:

Whoa, I think so. Is that Win95 on the computer in the back there? icon_wink.gif

 

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. The rest go geocaching.

No it's Win 2000 if you look close at the desk top photo it should help you date it.

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! icon_smile.gif

 

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!

I say, "Ausgeschichnicht". Poor German spelling, for those that can correct me, please do!!! icon_eek.gif

 

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?

 

See the happy moron

I'm not quite sure I understand what your asking. The winner can have anything they want engraved on the staff. AS for the brass plate...is that better than having it carved on the staff?

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.
