    Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has donated so far. Autism is becoming more and more common. I, like everyone else wish we knew why.

    On a another note (unrelated to For Jakes Sake) a local newspaper did a story on my son this past summer. Beleive it or not iPads do make a huge difference in development. Amazing how technology is being used as a learning tool more and more. Worth a quick read if you're bored.

    Hey everyone, wanted to address how this will work once donations have ended December 31st 11:59pm EST

    When will the drawing happen? The drawing will happen January 1st around 9:00pm EST. Winners will be announced shortly after with a YouTube video to follow.

    I won't be picking numbers out of a hat. I will be using www.random.org and use their random number generator which is great for stuff like this. For each ticket you have you will be assigned a random number.

    Example: If there are 400 tickets sold and you got 3 tickets your random numbers will be somewhere between 1-400. They could be 44, 197, 321

    I will do a countdown of 3. Meaning the Random Number Generator will pick 1 number then pick another number and on the 3rd number chosen that will be the winner. There are currently 7 boxes so I will do this 7 times. This is the most random way I can imagine doing something like this.

    I hope that all makes sense if it doesn't please let me know. Feedback is welcome.

    Update: $4430 raised from 133 different contributors !

    So we have 7 boxes of beer ready to be raffled off. Which is good, but you guys could use more boxes of beer. So I am announcing an incentive to donate a box of beer. I am looking to have a maximum of 15 boxes so this offer will stand for up to 8 people to take advantage of.

    For each box of beer you donate you will will be awarded (3) Free raffle tickets.

    We need atleast 3 people to donate..... If we don't reach 10 boxes then no additional tickets will be awarded. I repeat, the additonal tickets will only be awarded if we have 10+ total boxes of beer to be raffled off which means we need 3 more people/boxes to get there ! (To those that have already donated a box of beer the additional raffle tickets will be awarded once we have at least 10 total boxes to be raffled off)

    The Beer: Please have a minimum of 5 beers per box or 80oz. Beers should NOT be nationally distributed they should be limited availability/release or brewery only. It would be nice to have themed boxes but that is not a requirement. Please contact me if you would like to take advantage of this offer
    Feedback as always is welcome

    So if we donate are we entered in the raffle? I saw no more tickets will be awarded if you don't get ten boxes some I'm confused....

    He was saying that no extra (incentive) raffle tickets would be given to people who donate boxes of beer unless they get to ten boxes. The people who purely donate still get their allotted tickets based on donation amount.

    Exactly. Raffle tickets can still be purchased til Dec 31st 11:59pm.

    Seperately There is an incentive available for anyone that donates a box of beer of 3 extra raffle tickets, but in order for that to happen we must hit 10 total boxes of beer. Still at 7 at the moment
