Would be a lot more convenient if Paypal was a option, still will be donating but hopefully something to think about for the next fundraiser.

PayPal does not allow raffles. It has nothing to do with Rallyup or us. If people want to send me money through PayPal, I can buy them tickets.

Hmm. Since every news site and blog seems like they are running articles on how good investing in LEGO is. Why don't we start posting somthing like " Brickpicker forums is currently running a raffle for some of the most wanted sets" with a link to the raffle page forums in the commnents after the articles

Unfortunately, we don't control the news. But people can share the many links we have to the raffle. They are on our Facebook and Twitter page, on my signature, on the homepage, and on the top of the forums.

Think I read somewhere that someone donated a new gt350 for your school??   Don't know where I seen it but they said drawing would take place toward mid to late summer if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, just thought that was cool, I'm in the market for the next gt500 but will probably throw some tickets at the raffle for support.

I don't know about that. I don't think that is correct.

Well, that's done.

Just wanted to say that it was because of browsing Neosphinx' profile that I learned about the ongoing charity and raffle.  I was going to suggest better visibility on the forum by putting this thread above everything else but I noticed it's there...  Don't know how I could miss it but possibly others didn't notice it as well?

I also read some people aren't able to pay with their credit card. That's because in Europe lots of banks allow payment everywhere except in the US (because of the high possibility of fraud).  It only takes a few minutes to log in to your online bank account and change this.  You can change it back immediately after your payment.  (Maybe this was a problem as well for some European users).

The only thing left to say is:

 "Won't somebody please think of the children?"  (too bad no minifig was made of her )

Good luck with the charity to the Macks and happy new year to all the brickpickers!

 

in for some more.

anyway, as cheap as I am, as lazy, as....as NOT-participating-in-SH.T as I am, I'm going to make a little version of Mos_Eisley $-4-likes idea, give this post 10 likes and I'll spend $10 on raffle ticket, up to 50 likes/$50! Let's go. (I'll pay on last day of the raffle Ed) And on the side, buy some tix too! Plus like Mos_Eisley post that I provided...

Alright, I'm selling likes!

I've already bought some raffle tickets, but just for fun, for every "like" this post gets from members who joined before the time of this posting, I'll spend an equal amount on more tickets, up to $250.  If it gets beyond that, I'll figure out how much more I'll spend.

 

Let's set a like record!

You are certainly correct there.... the power of choice is lost with every private school that closes. That is why St. Paul's isn't about a Catholic school closing....  it is about losing the power of Choice....if every private school closed, you would have NO CHOICE but to send your child into public school-- almost being forced into it. The old Catholic Schools with mean nuns and scary priests are gone.... what is within the walls of Catholic Schools these days are computer labs, STEM programs, robotics clubs, Science clubs, academic competitons, honor societies and language clubs... and perhaps a lego club or 2 lol ---- 

 

Love it!  Everyone likes to have a CHOICE . . . And an exceptional one at that.

Thanks again for all the support!

Well, when we raise enough money, I will start developing a plan for the most kick ass LEGO club in the world.  I mean, after all, you have the world's leading authority on LEGO sets walking the halls of St. Paul School.  I will members of this site wanting to join this club...LOL

after you purchase your tickets it gave me ticket numbers .For each bundle I purchased it had a different ticket number.Out of curiosity is that the amount of tickets sold for that bundle(for example if i received ticket number 400 on a bundle that i was the 400th ticket on that bundle)

Sort of.  Each raffle had a different starting point.  

I was wondering if I can enter the raffle even though I live OS?

Ed's going to have to read the threads about safely packing and shipping sets.

Sorry, what is OS? I said I would ship anywhere.

Over Seas

It's the AM... acronym madness

I'm thinking OS may mean overseas. As Ed mentioned earlier, he will ship sets anywhere in the world to winners of the raffle

Right. I will ship anywhere. As long as you can pick it up in New Jersey. LOL

in for a few more because holy schnikies bundle 5 "Planes, Trains and Exo-mobiles". #exchangerateiskillingme. Keep on keepin on.

Ed,

Sorry if you have discussed before, but I assume there are other fundraising efforts outside of this one?  How close is the school toward the $200,000?  

Just interested because I am in the education field. 

A few more sets were added to the Friends bundle...
