Hey everybody!
I had an idea about raising money for cancer research. As you all know, we have several BS'ers who have lost family members to cancer, and also several who have family members who are now battling the disease. I would love to raise some money to donate to research, so I have come up with the following idea. Let me know what you think, as it would involve getting help from a lot of you!
Some of you already know that I do commercial embroidery. I was thinking of making a quilt of a lot of different cars, and raffling it off during the power tour, and donating the proceeds to cancer research. I am willing to donate my time and materials, and I am not looking to get any profit out of this. ALL the money raised would go directly to research. I would need help selling tickets (that's where you guys come in!)
I also considered the fact that some people may not want a quilt with cars, so I thought about also doing a second quilt made of logos cut out of t-shirts. I would need everyone who is willing to help to donate a previous power tour or car-related t-shirt (nothing naughty or offensive!) to make this. You could even sign your name on the design with a permanent marker, if you like.
I need some feedback to see if this is even a good idea. And if I do go ahead with this, I would need people to start sending me shirts asap, so I can get started.
I still have a few bugs to work out, such as how much to charge for tickets, etc. And I would like a third party to actually keep track of the money (maybe Chad if he is willing) so there would be no question about where it was going.
Please post back and let me know what you think about this idea. I have already bounced it off a couple of BS'ers and the response was overwhelmingly positive!! I need to know if I should go ahead with it, and how many of you are willing to help. It will only involve a little of your time, and maybe an old t-shirt!!
Looking forward to hearing from you guys!!
