Raffle to support the American Cancer Society

[tburnsten]

Specifically, breast cancer research at the American Cancer Society. The prize is a pink camo Dura-coated Stag Arms AR-15, the pictures are not the final finish, it is still being worked on, but it is pretty representative of what the pattern will look like. Tickets are $5 a piece, and all proceeds are going to the American Cancer Society. All state, federal, and local laws apply, so if you live in a gun-unfriendly state like California then they plan on selling it for you and sending you a check instead. Or you could put it up for auction online, adding even more to the charitable contribution. If there are any questions on how you would go about receiving it, I can probably answer most of them and if not, FBMG would be more than happy to answer, as would the guns subforum in DU.

1. Removed pics

they were too large and were hotlinked, they can be found at the first link, along with information on the raffle. I bought a couple tickets earlier this afternoon, encourage everyone else to as well, cheap and the prize is worth about $1000, maybe a little more.

2. Auction a weapon to raise money to stop a killer disease?

Sorry this seems bizarre to me.

3. It is a valuable durable item

Being raffled for a small fraction of its value. I think its a great way for this firearms dealer to try and raise some money for charity, how else do you suggest a gun dealership raise money for charity?


Plus they are good rifles, lots of different competitions can be entered with an AR. Just because it is a weapon doesn't mean it is going to be used against people.
