Arthritis Walk Contest

Hey everyone, 

So I am doing the walk for arthritis again with work.  It worked out great last year, and hope to keep this going.  This year I will do the prizes a bit differently.

Prizes:  For every $10 that is donated you get a raffle ticket.  The raffles will be drawn twice per month...starting March 4th, and the last drawing will be at the end of May for the Grand Prize.  Once you have donated, your ticket stays in the raffle, unless it wins a prize for you.  I have no yet figured out the grand prize, but i will come up with something good.  The monthly prizes will most likely be 5-10 cigars. 

Below is a link to the page that you can donate to my team through me. Your donations are tax deductible. If you wanted to send the money to me directly, please PM and i will give you my paypal. 

For every $10 donated your will get a ticket. For every $50--7 tickets, for every $100--15 tickets.

I will try to have all the prizes listed here before march.  Please PM with any questions.

Thanks in advance for your help

    I just don't get the walk for arthritis idea. Wouldn't a nice hot tubby with epsom salts make more sense? How about a hot tub for arthritis? Line up some buxom gals and we'll all throw in ten bucks for a soak. Maybe a little acupuncture later, some capsacin, chondroitin...

    I just don't get the walk part.

     Bearswatter has the arthritis. Me, I just have stiff old joints.

    Okay, kicked your pledge off there at your site

    Thanks...appreciate it.  Exercise, burn a cigar while doing it...although that may be frowned upon at our zoo...hmm...

    This forum is weird. I know for a fact I posted here this morning... now it's gone. What happens to these disappearing posts?

    All's I said was Holy Moly I forgot all about this contest, and wondered whether Trident made his goal. 

    Yakster, what do you work at from home, out there in Kali? I work about 24/7... got a job in the real world then work at home every evening, each morning, and all weekend. Takes two jobs to get by these days, and Bearswatter doesn't work, so... gotta do what you gotta do.

    Sent you a PM Trident... did that post stick? Not sure how to find it from this end.

    Spring sprang today. Last couple months, everyone at the office, yoga, gym, etc., thought I was purty dumb riding my murdersickle in the cold. This afternoon, I looked like a genius. Came home, Bearswatter and I just had to set out on the porch it was so nice. Pup played in the yard. I burnt a King is Dead. Now back inside to work. Lookin forward to sliding the windows open in the evening. Air out the house.

    @ webmost.  Goal has not yet been met, but there is still plenty of time for people to donate.  I'm hoping to get a few minutes to pull out some good prizes for people, so they see what they have a chance of winning.

    Summa you need to get in on this. The entry fee is trivial, the odds are good, and the prizes are terrific
