4th Annual SETX Mud Run

February 15-17, 2013

Port Neches, Texas

wow thats a lot in the drawings!!!

He'll of a drawing!! Gonna be some lucky people

I'll be putting my name for sure. With prizes like that and not having to be present, yall should be able to donate a nice amount.

Passengers have to sign too?

Man I'm actually off that whole weekend! Might have to make a little trip...

We r stayin at candlewood suites. Home of the coon callin contest. I don't actually remember that contest last year cause the drank got the best of me. But I've been practicing for this year! Lol

Meant for that last one to go in the setx hotel thread.

as long as dguidry brings the whisky.....

Lots of good prizes. Mud Buddy & SETX Performance out did themselves. Very nice donations.

So I can actually buy a few raffle tickets and have a shot at some prizes all the way from SC?

It's for a good cause so I'm always down to donate. I put a lot of time into our local DU and Delta chapters around here so I understand the importance of preserving the land.

you might want to try a seperate raffle for the trip. A 20 dollar ticket. Your fishermen dont bat an eye at a 30,000 dollar bay rig but we shit ourselves when we see a 20,000 dollar mud rig. I think you would make more money.

This is a stout drawing for sure. The live auction idea is a good one also. You bitches Will be dealing with me for sure. Dean should bring a drink cup and not have to borrow a measuring cup from Brad and as far as the Coon calling goes...BRING IT ON BIG BOY. The defending champ will be waiting for ya!!!

Are y'all talking about my trip.

Yeah

might want to add another 15k to it huh Terry lol

19k

100 20 dollar tickets = 2 grand......live auction will bring maybe 500 bucks if you are lucky....Ive run a lot of raffles and silent auctions at discgolf tournaments and found we made way more money on a 20 dollar raffle ticket than we ever made auctioning things......people tend to stop bidding when they could just outright buy the package however, more people tend to buy a ticket or more, spending up to 100 bucks a person on the chance to win a 600 dollar package than bidding up to or over the sale price of a product or service......food for thought.....if the intent is to raise money for a charity.

I tried to tell him that, but...

Sounds to me people want something for nothing or as cheap as they can get. It's a charity don't forget it. If its gonna be a big stink ill donate a t shirt or something and take my time and equipment somewhere else !!

I like the raffle idea with the fishing trip in a separate drawing. That way it levels the playing field for everyone, and people's bank roll isn't the deciding factor on who wins. I believe the guy that makes $30k a year & will never be able to afford a trip like this should get just as good a chance to win it as the guy that makes 6 figures and pisses away that much in a weekend anyhow. Bottom line for me, it is supposed to be about raising the most money possible.

I'm no longer going to be an organizer for this event. I think it's gotten away from what it was originally intended to be.

My comments were strictly from experience and with charity in mind.....ddm would you rather raise 2 grand on your sponsorship for charity or 500? ....... I know i couldnt go over 100 bucks on a bid, but i would or will likely spend it on raffle tickets, and would buy 1 or 2 of a special raffle ticket.......but with the intent to purchase raffle tickets where do i get involved in a bidding war? I dont, and will not be the only one willing to shell out that kinda dough with the other expenses involved but could afford 20 - 40 dollars.

Jeff, while I appreciate your insight this is my 5th year running fundraising events. This event has the potential to grow and by giving back to the area we are painting our activities in a good light.

As we have disclosed on the website we have a large list of $5 ticket items and have an item that is part of a $20 raffle.

We have one live auction item... Why, because when I asked that sponsor I said it would generate the most money and I am standing by that.

Frankly in my experience auctions brings 10x more money than a drawings ever thought of.

Think of this event as a way to test the waters for the years to come. So, with that being said the mechanism that generates the most amount of money will be the one used for years to come. Will it be a $5 ticket, a $20 items or an auction. We'll find out February 16, 2013.

Alright guys lets not make this a big deal, these guys offered their services for a give away, i think its great and we want this to be a fun event. Evreyone is welcome and every one is welcome to perticipate in the events and raffles and auctions.
