Maybe you were going to do this anyway but if it were me I would donate it to my church - they're probably already a 501C non-profit entity anyway

so they can…..

give you a receipt
pound the pavement selling the tickets
handle the raffle money and make the donation to the family
deliver the rig
and take credit for for all their efforts

besides, it frees up more time for you to build more cookers (or "Q")

I prefer to do it myself. its a lot of work on my car and I want to know what I'm working for goes to who I want to go for. I need ideas on how to reach the most people that would be interested. I really appreciate any ideas

[Clover Ridge Smokers]

Rick is right. You want to align yourself with a non profit and has a 501C-3.
You may also want to check your local laws on raffles. I know where I live you have to get a permit from the county and it''s a real pain in the butt.

[Frank_Cox]

You will hafta pay income tax on the money you raise unless you do what rick suggests. Gambling laws are a pain also... Make site you wood the "raffle" correctly

You guys get off of Franks grass will ya?

[Gizmo]

HE STARTED IT!

[Rodcrafter]

Boy OB1, you can't get away with anything today. lol

[Puff]

I wonder what ever happened to this plan? You guys are right on about the 501c-3 status. In New Jersey, you can't even think raffle without licenses and permits and that 501 C-3. Stinks that it is there because of all scams in place. You can't just go do something great for people without red tape

[argolee504]

The pit building is in progress winner to be chosen just after the first of the year. With some of the replies I didn't think it was wanted on here

[Gizmo]

It is by all means wanted here.
I just so happened to have married a CPA so I know just enough about that stuff to be dangerous.
Just don't want a fellow smokerbuilder getting in trouble.
I think we all believe that no good deed goes unpunished so I thought it was my place to warn you.
just my honest opinion.

[argolee504]

I appreciate it but il pay the taxes on it. I just want to help. Today in our society there is always plenty reasons to not do something. I plan to make a difference in at least a few people's life. Thanks for the heads up

[Pete Mazz]

Very cool!!! Kudos!

[Rodcrafter]

So where do we buy tickets, and see pics of course?
