Admin nuggethunting Posted May 11, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hello All, I'm hoping to be able to raffle off a new Minelab GPX-4000 in the near future. Have to work out a bunch of details, but if it happens all the funds will go towards a fund that helps Children that are born with Heart Defects that are life threatening. This would give you an opportunity to help a good cause and have a chance to win a $4,000 top of the line metal detector. Anyone interested?

nvchris Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Great idea Rob, I've seen the toll this puts on families. I'll donate some prizes, 4 hipsticks and a 1994 ML silver round. I challenge other manufactures to donate prizes.enjoy today! nvchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Rob!I'm in!One of my friends does a charity rock/mineral specimen purchase each year where by 10% of the total price (including sales tax) is donated to a different charity each year. His situation is different than what you are wanting to do though.To make it work as a IRS tax donatable charity that the charity has to be a qualified charity by the IRs.. Here is a website: http://www.ehow.com/how_13132_determine-ch...-qualified.html that can help.This won't prevent you from giving to any worth while cause or charity...it just defines qualifiers that the IRS uses.Have a great day!

grubstake Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 If you read Robs post about that here somewhere, you will see it got put on the back burner, due to other dealer gripes. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrubstakeGrubstake, Thanks for the answer ------- missed the post ----- That bites about other dealer gripes ----- every dealer advertises by having outings -- internet sites -- having tables at gold shows & other events -- Having a raffel or donation to a good cause is great advertisement for minelab products which benifits all dealers and promotes metal detecting ----- some dealers are small minded jerks --------------------wonderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I figure if there that pissed, why not have them all chip in, and run the contest on all the forum sites, with it that way. no one should have a bitch. My opion. Your right about what you said. Wonderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
