We just passed 40k!!!  This thing is popping like it just retired and the horde didn't have time to stock up.  Who can say 50k?  I can.  Let's do it.

$40,000!  This is fantastic!  How about $50,000?  We have two and a half days!!!

Ninja'd Ed.  Nice job to you and all you have done for our community.

@Mos_Eisley  "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".  i would like to totally rip-off Mos' great idea of likes.  This is a good cause so I don't think Mos will mind plus he's far more original than me when it comes to ideas like this.

In addition to already donating 2 SW TFA sets along with a small donation, my wife and i will like to give even more by engaging other Brickpicker members.

*** For each LIKE this post gets, we will donate $1 per by purchasing fundraiser tickets. No limit of likes.   *** 

The cutoff time for my likes is Sunday @ 12:00 PM EST.

note: I think we can get 500 likes with this post alone! Lets work together make it happen.

Been lurking on this forum for a while, now happy to contribute. With my own kids in struggling Catholic schools, I can 100% relate to how much of an impact a quality school makes in the lives of our children.

Hope to see this fundraiser continue to grow!

All, lets get a jump start to $50k by liking the post below.

 

 

Jaisonline, thank you for a generous offer.

just a quick note.the tab across the top of every page that says

LESS THAN 4 DAYS TO GET YOUR RAFFLE TICKETS!!!   01/27/2016

Time is starting to run out. There have been many generous donations!  Help us get to 1000 Supporters and Over $30K!!!!!

 should probably be updated considering you passed 40,000.

 

on a side note i find it quite unbelievable that you almost doubled the donations in the last 2 days.excellent job you did.

(I say that even though my chances of winning just shrunk by half LOL)

Do you feel lucky,

my tickets are lined up ready.

Ok Maybe I need one more, won't do any harm. Just one more, 

Good luck all,

I got my last donation in.( I say donation because I know I'm not winning anything)  The allure of the additional mystery boxes was too much to pass up.  Glad to see everybody lining up to help, most notably the guys that gave their own sets towards the cause and the guys buying likes.  Great job all around.  Shout out to the newbies giving as well.

If we hit $50,000.00, I will make those MYSTERY BOXES SPECIAL!!!

I just got back to your site today having moved from Holland to Canada, and adding a new set to my brickfolio (I like it a lot!). What a great way to come back, with a raffle! I donated a little something to help a litlle bit.

And just my thoughts for someone who might not be inclined to help a religious school:

I grew up as a RC kid. Went to RC schools. As a 30 something I renounced my RC-ism for reasons all my own. I respect anyone in their religion, I just don't believe the church is my thing. But I _am_ a humanist. I went on to send my kid to RC schools. Why? Because the RC schools I was involved are most open to any other religion in my humble opinion, I was thaught about all the other religions and a-theism in RC schools in quite an open fashion. The last RC school my kid was at was an open supporter of the in-school LGBT organisation.

What is important here is to support a good school through the efforts of the wonderful admins of this great site. It's not about hate in this world, it's about a little help here and there. Hopefully as humans, through things like this we'll get there* in the end....

I'm the utmost newbie, for sure, never ever having commented here. But I can't help but do it for the first time in order to commend you for your effort in benefit of this school.

I'm thousands of miles away but was truly moved by the idea and, much, much more by what I've read here so I could not not take part in it, as small as the contribution I can afford might be (and is). I just had to do it - to let you know a noble cause knows no borders and so that my little support to whatever two guys who show such a kind heart as you do ask help spur you on now and always.

Cheers and best of luck for the school, students, teachers and parents.

Fire Bikes for everybody!!!!!!!!

Donated $30 'cause I don't think I'd have some of the price-increasing set's that I do now if it wasn't for you guys! Good luck Ed! 

Post.....posted. 50 likes-received. $50/5tix-purchased, thanks and keep it up everybody, looks like great sprint at the end of the race.

I was just looking at the new bundles and the generosity of our Brickpicker members.  These are some incredible prizes!

Two weeks ago Jeff posted a link when the Sea Cow was available at Walmart.  I grabbed three.  Jeff basically put an easy $300 in my pocket with the post.  Now it's time for me to return the favor and purchase some more raffle tickets.

Please ask yourself how many countless times a Brickpicker member posted a deal or tip that saved you $$$.  What about information that helps you determine when a set is approaching end of life?  Would you be able to gather that information on your own?  I know I wouldn't. 

It's time to give back.  This community has been generous to each one of us.  Let's return the favor.

Just purchased $200 more in tickets ... please consider donating if you haven't already.

71 likes / $71 dollars in the last 8 hours. Not bad but we can do better. 

Please click the post below and LIKE it.   Nothing more, nothing less. A simple click and more money is put toward a great cause.

Since we're getting toward the end and I didn't want to run out of time this weekend, I went ahead and purchased $200 worth of tickets with the likes at 162 when I bought.  I figured that should cover any other likes that come in over the weekend.  If it gets over $200, I'll take of that Sunday night.

This is cRRRazy  and I'm a part of it, as small as my part is, it makes me excited, specially those last couple days are pretty great! And not excited about winning anything, that's the last thing On my mind. I think I'd feel guilty if I won anything, walking out of it with a profit, that would feel weird   

awesome job to ed and jeff & everyone

Let's impress the rest of the LEGO world. $50,000 and 1000 supporters sounds so much better than $45.000 and 900 supporters. We have two days.

Maybe we can make it it's own thread.

$45k and 935 supporters, and only today left. Not a long stretch, but it won't happen without YOU!
