Title: Adopt A Family Mini Raffle Winners Choice Custom Baits
Post by: Mike Cork on October 18, 2021, 09:35:58 AM
Our last mini raffle before I build up the packages for the big raffle.
D.W. Verts is going to paint 5 Whopper Plopper's for the drawing winner. Dale will paint them how ever you like.
For those new to the AAF (Adopt A Family), Ultimate Bass raises money via raffles of donated items throughout the year culminating in one giant raffle at the end of the year. We used the money raised to adopt a family that will not have a Christmas without our help :-*
We are only selling 20 tickets @ $10 each. No limit on how many you can buy. As soon as we sell the last ticket, we'll have one of the grandkids pull a winner for us.
Edit: To buy tickets simply send me a PayPal to in $10 increments for the amount of tickets you want. I will right your name on the back of a regular raffle ticket and have one of our grandkids pull a ticket for us after they are all sold :-* Thank you for contributing to the Adopt A Family program and good luck!

I'll donate since I won the last batch of Dale's baits, however, I don't want the tickets...

Thank you Princeton_Man, Apenland01, and Blacknredflake.
Apenland, I went ahead and make your tickets, if you win we can redraw or you can donate them back to the program, or even donate them to a kid in your area that is in High School Fishing. Lots of options. :-*

Venmo gave me a $10 bonus for signing up that I'd like to use to buy a ticket. IIRC you were taking Venmo at some point. What is your contact info there Mike?
Dale is working on the crankbaits I won from him in the Bassmaster Classic contest so in the event my one ticket wins here I'd like to donate the prize back to the raffles since I really just want to give the money to the good cause that this is.

Thanks to everyone who has given so far, and of course a huge shout out to Dale for once again providing an incredibly cool prize pack.
Remember, 100% of the monies raised goes to help a family in need. We only need to sell 9 more tickets to get this done before the big raffles start.
It takes just one ticket to win, so maybe skip that morning coffee or breakfast sandwich on the way to work for a day or two and you could win 5 custom painted Whopper Poppers! You can't find a deal like that anywhere else.

That's what I thought... Thanks Lee. I plan to start building baits for my demo soon, and I need INFORMATION.

Thanks! I thought I didn't have a limit as a Charter Member. In any event, I went into the inbox to delete old stuff from a few years ago to clear space. Dale, I'll send you a message. FD, thanks for the email heads up!

After some thought, I've decided to keep these custom painted baits and donate the ones I won last time to a young angler. It's nice when you can pick your colors!
