I've pulled some pretty sweet items from my collection, and with some luck, you could be the new owner! Please consider being a participant in this 2023 Racketboy Charity Raffle! Prices of Retro items are ridiculous, so I'll be raffling items below their fair market value. Let's party like it's 2013!
I moved back to Michigan a little under a year ago, and am still raising money for Meat Fight and the National MS Society, through Bike MS events.
For folks that don't know, I was diagnosed with MS over two years ago, and Meat Fight was the best thing to come out of my diagnosis. First, they fitted me with a road bike, coached me to complete a century ride (100 miles). Then in 2022, they funded and coached me to complete a 70.3 half IRONMAN. This December, I'll be back in Dallas competing in the Dallas Marathon. Staying active has really helped me learn to navigate living with this disease, and Meat Fight is a fantastic 501c3 non-profit. They help folks living with MS tackle epic (is this word still trite?) endurance events.
I'd like to contain this charity raffle within the local Racketboy community, rather than have it go out to some of my social networks. You donate some money to the fundraiser, you get chances to win some sweet retro games!

Rules and Format (subject to this community's input):
Signup begins on June 1st. Simply post in the thread with the item you'd like, and see the steps below.
1. Each item will have a capped number of entries (10) . This will be done publicly and by a first-come, first-served basis.
2. A person can purchase up to three entries for each item.
3. The cost of entry for the raffle is determined by the item's value divided by 20, rounded up to the nearest bill denomination. For example, TMNT Hyperstone heist is valued at $180. ($180 / 20 = $9). Each entry for Hyperstone Heist would be $10.
4. I will cover all shipping costs. I will also ship to Canada. In return, would you please cover a small fee when donating via causevox. There is a nominal processing fee on the causevox site ($8 on a $100 donation, for example). This ensures all funds arrive in full to Meat Fight and the National MS Society.
4. Entries can be purchased by visiting: https://blu-plus-justines-2023-meat-fig ... sevox.com/, clicking the donate button, and entering the correct dollar amount for your raffle entries.
