Do you have a benefit bank account set up where we could just paypal or make a donation into, it worked great for my wife's benefit and if so post the account name were we can transfer to.

Prize update:

1 Custom made crankbait with the winner choosing their own color pattern they want.

With a little advice, I do have a paypal account but would prefer not to make it public. If anyone would like to purchase some tickets for the raffle, please PM me and I will give you my paypal address.

I was going to open a new account but with the drawing only a few weeks away and the time it takes to get a new account verified, I opted not to open one. Should have done this sooner I guess!

Thanks Archerysniper for the advice!

Greg,

How is it going? Your prizes look great!

[walleye4]

Not the greatest! Any little bit helps though so I am GRATEFUL. If it would have been me that come up with this idea, I sure would have done things different. I got some really good advice from a member here and I would have done something similar to what they did. A little late to try that as the drawing is in 2 weeks.

We do have alot of pretty nice prizes and more that I am working on securing!

Maybe things will turn around but only the "Good Lord" knows that!

Thanks for your help though Shawn, it has been greatly appreciated.

Greg
