WEGMAN FUND - PLEASE READ THIS!

[BlueRidgePerformance]

If you have something to auction off, call me 262-993-5416 and I will set up an auction/raffle and ensure 100% of the funds go to the wegman.

I just made a $25 donation.
I've got tons-o-crap, that I guess I need to part ways with. I'm just having a hard time doing it.

So far I have a donation of a new set of pitbull stands and a new set of Tyr Sox warmers...  Not sure how this is going to go or what else we can get.

The stands are going to be a new style front and a spooled rear!! The winner of the stands will have to get with Jeff and let him know what bike they are going to be for so we can get the proper pin for you! The stands are brand new and are coming form the On2-Racing.com crew!!

Let the bidding begin!!

Thanks

Folks, I have not yet decided how we will raffle/sell/auction these off, but I am leaning towards 3 individual 42 ticket raffles of $5 each ticket.  $15 would put you in all 3 and would raise $630 for the fund.  Thoughts for or against that???

I vote for an auction!

My reasoning behind it is that auctions are more fun and have more potential for more products/people/businesses to come along and help out.

Anything I can do to help!!

Thanks

Personally I think there would be more potential monies raised if it we simply held an auction.  I would be willing to man the thread and keep it updated with current bids and closing times.

just a thought, why not ebay the items?  exposing the auction to more people can only help... is there something that doesnt allow this type of auction when proceeds are donated?

Putting it on Ebay would be great.... But at the same time you are looking at fees through Ebay and you also have to keep in mind the dead beat bidders that wont pay. If we keep it here we dont have the fees that Ebay charges and we can also spread the word to other messages boards, in a round about way, to help this site grow.

Just my $.02 is all.

Thanks

I was just looking at keeping the items local so we can control the monies.

An open auction (high bidding), I don't know that Alexa's leather cert will go for $210, but in a raffle, it will.  Likewise with the tire warmers that Richard sells for $175.

At the wegman night?  Sure!  Shit, I paid $160 for a $20 shirt for my wife and $190 for a set of pens that Alexa donated.  But not mid-season on the forum, I just don't see that happening...  Maybe I'm wrong.

I think an auction here is a better idea. Works over on the WERA board, no reason it won't here.Might want to hit a couple of the board vendors up.

Get well soon Jason!
$50 donated.

[tstruyk]

makes sense, definately make it available to other racing orgs!  Much better potential to go over on price and more likely to get the funds!

[weggieman]

Since Jeff and Dawn are willing to keep track of this I say keep it here, spread the word and the stuff will sell for good money, don't worry about that.

Pass the word and you'll get plenty of response. Set a time for the bidding to end on each item or group of items. I think group of three or four would work best.

Have the highest bidder make payment to the Wegman Fund. That can be done online by credit card on our site or by personal check via snail mail.  As soon as payment is received, with a shipping address, I will notify the donor to ship the item.

Good luck with this, I'll keep watching and who knows, I may buy something!

Hi, all. This is Stephanie, Brad's girlfriend. Reading all your posts and good wishes literally brings tears to my eyes. You guys are so awesome and we appreciate your prayers and support so much - they are making a difference!! It will be a long recovery for Brad and there is a possibility he will not be able to ride again. He had some surgeries today, which went as well as could be expected, but he did some pretty good damage to his shoulder. We are hoping he will be off the ventilator in the next couple days, which will tell us a lot about the severity of his head injury.

Our thoughts and prayers are also with Jason. I am in Kansas City all week, so I will keep my eyes open for him because I'm sure they are both on the same unit.

I will try to keep checking the Board so I can keep everyone updated. Right now we are taking one day at a time.......  

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
