RapalaNation New Year Raffle « Thread Started on Dec 11, 2009, 8:16pm »
What better way to ring in the new year by getting some new Rapalas and gear?
Hey, at least it will give us all something to do while we are freezing our tails off!
We've got loads of prizes to give away for this one, and for anyone that is unfamiliar, you can purchase a single raffle ticket for 1.00, which gives you ONE ENTRY into the raffle.
There is no limit to the amount of raffle chances you can purchase, the only rules are that you you must be a registered member of RapalaNation in order to qualify - and that is pretty much it!
Raffle will run from now until January 31st. After that we will pick a winner per day!
Click on the 'Add to cart' button on the home page, and simply enter in the number of chances you would like.
Majority of the proceeds will be donated to C.A.S.T. for Kids, the rest will be held to offset shipping costs for all of the prizes.

Well, there you have it folks. Somehow I managed to pull all this together today, basically because a lot of this stuff has frankly beginning to pile up!
Total of 20 prize packages altogether - there can be multiple winners (max of two total), with the exception of the Jan Eggers lot, and the two Plano packages - if you're lucky enough to win either of those, I think you'd be happy enough.
Any questions, problems issues? Post them in here.

Jeff, this will be just like the previous raffle we had before.
Say for example you kick in 20.00, that gives you 20 total chances that all go 'into the pot' so to speak. Each day one will get pulled, until we go through all 20 prizes.
You can win up to two, but Im thinking to make it fair, if you win either Plano SoftSider prize or the Jan Eggers prize, then Im thinking those are the only prizes where if it you win one, you're out for the remaining.
But I guess I'd have to draw those prizes first then.
Anyway we certainly have time to iron out all the details, I didnt want to rush this one until the end of Dec, so its going to the end of January, give some people time to recover from the holidays.

And Im thinking for everyone who participates and doesn't win a prize, I may do something with a coupon code or something along those lines for RapalaMarket.com

Thank you all for the kind words - I guess maybe I went a little overboard but a lot of this stuff doesn't do me much good; it should really be in the hands of all of you Rapala fanatics.
Hopefully we can all have a good time with this one, and raise some money in the process...and if I can, there is the chance I could add more

The other day I reached out to C.A.S.T. For Kids, just to give them a heads up that we were doing this. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email back from their executive director, Jim Owens:
Ted,
I really appreciate what you are doing for CAST. It is always special when someone completely unrelated to CAST does something like this. And yes, we will help get the word out. We will get this up on our website and also send it out through our e-mail list. It probably won’t be until next week, but we’ll get it done.
Where are you located? Are you close to any of our events or if not, would you be interested in helping get one started in your area? Let me know.
By the way, great site. I check it out and signed up. Also, my very first bass was caught on a Rapala and that’s what got me hook on bass fishing and eventually lead to CAST for Kids.
