Raffle benefitting cancer patient, Custom turkey calls added

Postby driveby » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:55 pm

I'm asking for your help. I am conducting a raffle benefitting Frankie Hope. I work with Frankie's wife and sister and have known them going on 15 years. Frankie is only 45 years young and on January 13th of this year Frankie was diagnosed with colon cancer. The cancer has now spread to his liver and he now has tumors along his spine and in his lymph nodes. Frankie and his wife have 3 children ages 14, 16, and 20. Although Frankie's wife has insurance through where we work, Frankie has not been able to work since the end of January and his wife has had to miss a lot of work to take him for treatments. Needless to say, they need help. You can read about Frankie on Facebook. Just go to the site and do a search for "Frankie's Fight". There are 2 walls by that name and Frankies is the one with his picture as the profile pic.
So, Thanks to the generosity of some good friends and the administrators of this site I am offering a few items to raffle to benefit them in their time of need. Please help out if you can by making a donation. I am including a donation link in this post that is going through Paypal. For every $5.00 donation you will be entered once for a chance at all prizes. For every $20.00 you will be entered 5 times. Each prize will be drawn for individually and you will be eligible for every prize with your donation. I am running this on Alducks, Msducks, and Aldeer so if you would please include your name, screen name, and the site you are visiting from with your donation so I can contact you after the drawing. The billing will be listed as "Frankie's Fight".
Also, if you have something you would like to donate to this cause as a raffle item, let me know and I will add it to the list of prizes. The raffle will run through Oct. 31st and the drawing will be the following day. This is my first Rodeo so to speak so if there's something I've left out please don't hesitate to chime in. I appreciate all the help and input I can get.
The prizes:
1. Dixieland Rogue, stabilized burl barrel with acrylic insert in either single or double reed. This is being offered by Brian Phillips of Dixieland and the winner will contact him with the specifics on the call after the drawing. You can visit his site at http://www.dixielandcalls.com

2. A custom call by Jason Dendy of Insane custom Calls. The winner will receive their choice of a duck call or short reed canada call. This call will be a custom build in the winners choice of colors offered by Jason and will contact him after the drawing for specifics. You can visit Jason's site at http://www.insanecustomcalls.com

3. A matching set of duck and either canada or speck goose calls in the winners choice of colors of acrylic. Both calls must be the same color. These calls are being offered by Hunter Maples of Southern Heritage custom calls. Hunter does not have a website at this time but is a member of both Alducks and Msducks under the screen name of deeksdown. He makes some very nice calls and you can contact Hunter through either site if you have any questions.

4. A weekend hunt in the Mississippi delta. I am offering a weekend at my place in Isola on a weekend that the winner and I will work out. It will be at least 2 days and may be 3. The winner will be provided a place to stay at my house in Isola and we will hunt my lease property there. In the event the ducks are scarce that weekend on my lease we will be shooting in the afternoons at the almost world famous BDDC. We may even be able to squeeze in a goose hunt. All that will have to be bought by the winner is shells and licenses. I will provide all meals, decoys, accommodations and even transportation if the winner is from here in Alabama and wants to meet me and ride over. I'll even spring for Pickoolas. My place is no Coca Cola club but you will be treated to a weekend of hospitality and guaranteed fun.

5. A duck mount by Ron Pinkerton of Southern Waterfowl Taxidermy. The winner will be put in contact with Ron to arrange the details of the mount.

6. A custom built knife by Clarence Smitherman of Skullworks knives. Clarence is well known among many of the archery and deer hunting sites for his beautiful custom work. I'll post some pics below. You can also see Calrence's work on Facebook at C Smitherman Custom Knives.

7. A custom duck call from Brad McGregor of Mayday Custom Calls. The winner can go to their website, http://www.maydaycalls.com , and pick any call and material from their line up. They can contact Brad directly and he will take care of them.

8.A custom turkey call set from Stony Brock of Fatal Attraxion Custom Calls.
Stony will make the winner a custom glass call with a decal of their choice, matching slate call, and a copper call. You can see Stony's work at http://www.fatalattraxion.com

Only 2 weeks left. There aren't a whole lot of folks signed up so the odds are good. :idea:
