$5 Toys for Tots raffle tickets (Springfield handguns)

[gose]

As some of you might know TASC (www.tasc-ipsc.org) holds a yearly IPSC/USPSA sanctioned charity match called The Bay Bridge Charity Classic (http://tasc-ipsc.org/charity.html) to raise money for the USMC Toys for Tots program. Over the last 13 years the match has raised well over $100000 in cash and toys for the campaign.

This year there will also be a general raffle that anyone can enter to help raise money. The raffle will have two Springfield 1911s, two 9mm XDs and two .40 XDs for prizes. The raffle tickets are $5 each and you don't have to be present or attend the match to win.

To help sell tickets and raise money for this event I'm offering some of the raffle tickets to the Calguns crowd.
You can pay me with cash, MO, check or paypal and if you provide me with your address I'll send the tickets (except the stub that goes into the hat) to you on my expense. If you don't want/need the tickets mailed to you, I'll give you the numbers and hold on to the tickets and make sure you get notified if you win. If you're not local to the Bay Area I'll give you a hand with the shipping as well.

For $5 you get a chance of winning a nice Springfield handgun and at the same time you're supporting a good cause.

Worst case, you support Toys for Tots, best case, you win a new handgun. What do you have to lose?

Thanks for your support!

edit:
Please include your address in a pm, or with the payment, if you want the tickets shipped.

Just to avoid confusion, this was asked about before posting and heartily approved.

Thread stuck for a good cause!

Do you know what would happen if someone under 21 wins this raffle. Is there maybe a second place prize that is a rifle or something else. If not it is cool I will still get a ticket, I always donate to the toys for tots when it gets closer to christmas, they always have the Marine Reserves asking for the toys, So I go and talk to them and donate a toy.

I spent 8 and a half years in a youth program that is funded by the Marines and the MCL. I became a SGT MAJ. I could have joined the marines. But for many reasons I dedided to join the National Guard. I have already started my weekends with the guard. I still think that the marines are the best. The marines have so much more pride then any other branch.
