JohnMitchell 14 #1 July 4, 2009 It's time again for the Leap for Lupus Charity fund raising raffle. As many of you know, Valinda Mitchell, Vskydiver, has lupus, an life changing, sometimes life threatening, autoimmune disease. After almost losing her life to it five years ago, she decided to fight back and raise funds for medical research against this disease. Once again we're having our annual fund raising raffle. Please take a look at the great prizes that have been donated by some of your favorite manufacturers and suppliers. Velocity Sports Equipment - 50% off a new custom rig United Parachute Technologies - 30% off base price and 15% off options on a custom Vector3 Aerodyne - Three chances to win 25% off coupons for any Aerodyne product Flite Suit - One 50% off coupon and one 25% off coupon Larsen and Brusgaard - One Altitrack electronic altimeter, one VISO altimeter. Square1 - Hawkeye camera helmet, blk, med. and a $75 off coupon for any Bonehead helmet. Alti-2 - 50% off coupon and a 25% off coupon for a new Altimaster N3 Hypoxic - Hypeye D photo kit and Hypeye D Pro camera control kit Alti-2 - 50% off and 25% off coupons for the new Altimaster N Performance Designs - 2-liter PD Hydration pack by High Sierra and PD t-shirts. The tickets are $5 U.S, each, or 5 for $20 ($4 each). You may purchase them online at our website, http://www.leapforlupus.org/lfl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=70, from Valinda or me in person, before or during the boogie, or by check through the mail. The drawings will be Saturday night, August 8th, after the banquet dinner at the Leap for Lupus Boogie and POPS record. Please PM me if you need a mailing address for the latter, or if you have any questions. Leap for Lupus is a fully accredited 501(c)(3) non profit charity. All of our proceeds go directly to the University of Washington Division of Rheumatology, where they are doing great research into lupus causes and cures. Also, our foundation is all volunteer. 100% of your donations go directly to research. Once again I'd like to thank the generosity of all the companies who have donated to our raffle. Thank you for your support again this year. Last year was a great success. I'm hoping for the same this year.

You don't need to be present to win. We'll ship your prize to you after the drawing if you won.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites catfishhunter 1 #16 July 7, 2009 Just bought a couple tickets..question..if I win the Velocity coupon and get a Rig will Valinda be doing the custom embroidery? We are getting ready to buy a new rig and canopy with our Company Logo's so we can use it as a write off. Haven't decided on the rig yet just know what I am not buying again. I hear good things about the Velocity Rigs and if Valinda is doing the embroidery and a I get a 50% Off coupon that would seal my choice.
