First off guys, thank you. The people on this board raised all the auction items, came and attended the event, paying your entry, came to the auction and bought stuff.
A special thanks to Randy and Chris Morris for changing the formula on the gate fee to increase the charities share. Thanks to Jimmy Boykin (Dragbody) for being my auctioneer, you do a great job, and raise more money than I could in that job. Thanks to Steve Gorden (S10Me) for being my gopher, from go get that person that did not stop at the pay station, to go round up folks for the weighing and the auction. Thanks to Ben Bone (BBone) for cooking for everyone and paying for all the food. Thanks to Allie Boykin, Steve Gorden, and others that helped me at sign in. Thanks to Cole Shirley (MadRam11) for the tip jar donation. Thanks to Jimmy Boykin and Jonathan Walker that had auction totals of $605 and $970 respectively. I'm sure I missed some important workers and people, so before you get your panties in a wad, thank you too.
I could not raise money for my charity (Shwachman Diamond America) without your help.
For those that could not attend and would like to contribute, please send me a PayPal to [email protected]. It will be about 2 weeks before I send the money into the SDA.
I had a personal goal this year of $5,000.00. That would be more than we had ever given from this event. All I can say is WOW and THANKS. Here are the numbers.
Total paid drivers = 217
Total paid passengers = 247
Free admission workers = 19
Park owners = 3
Total people at event = 486
Gate fees = $4,450
Hardline Shirts = $1,600
Tip Jar = $1,154
Hamburgers = $153
RickyB Shoving hamburger in mouth = $180
Weighing rigs = $210
Auction = $4,071.38
NET CASH TO CHARITY = $11,818.38
Yes $11.818.38.
Wow guys, I am so blessed to have folks like you behind me.
