Now I also just finished up a one million dollar raffle as well
the basics are
three prizes
1. Porsche 911
2. BMW M6 convertable
3. BMW 650i

This raffle raises around 700k for a facility
1000 tickets at 1000.00 dollars.

I'm not sure Paul is the type to give away vehicles - especially the one you describe. You may want to consult with him first.

you see its not giving them away. What is done is the raffle pays for the vehicle and the dealer includes the raffle information in thier regular advertising...it gives them some extra draw as tickets are sold at the locations, as well as draw from folks who want to see the vehicles and for the raffle it gives marketing...I would not as for a 30k+ donation, nor would I ask for any "discount" from msrp Sure a donated vehicle would be great, but it just doesnt happen, invoice happens and is ok, but I would rather see the sales person who ends up delivering the vehicle get a pay check for doing a nice job in that respect. That is why your raffles dont generate the full amounts of 100k you get about 1/2 to 2/3 depending upon the prizes, just as in the the Porsche and 2 BMW option...that is a 1 million dollar raffle where by the even would pull in about 700k after paying for the three cars.

What if you don't sell enough tickets to cover the cost of the cars?

As MACMAN said if not enough tickets are sold to pay for the vehicle or to make it worthwhile, the $ 100 will be returned to the purchasers.
Makes sense to me. I have no doubt that we can sell 1000 tickets that have the potential of winning something.
This group of people should be able to donate $ 100 to help this program. The "road crew" donated
$ 1700 to purchase the video equpment and $ 1500 to purchase Scooters stitcher machine.
As the man said, for all the time and money that Paul puts into BG Hockey (and other sports) he and the salesman deserve to make a buck.
For $ 100 invested I would be willing to pay the IRS $ 10,000 in taxes. ( well maybe ??)
There will be concerns that people will ask:
is this money going toward the building restoration (if so to whom) or is it going to the BGSU Hockey program. There are a few people out there that will question giving money to Scott Paluch.
If money goes to the building restoration, where would Buddy spend the
$ 60,000 ??
When we answer these questions I am sure that this project would be a success.

If Ay ziggy ran the raffle then included itn he disclaimer on the rear...if we could get group to agree upon the language we could make the donate as specific as we wanted Im sure.

Is that what you are thinking? Making the raffle an Ay Ziggy booster raffle?
I passed off the ideas...and while Im sure nothing has happened yet, it could be bad to run two raffles at the same time for a similar purpose

Does an one out there think that this is a good idea;
other than MACMAN and myself??

Anyone out there that would donate/spend $ 100 to win a car, a truck or a Harley?

I wouldn't, because I just don't have that kind of money, but I definitely think other people might be willing to.
If people were willing to dish out a couple hundred for items when they were auctioned for the MS fundraiser, I think they might at least be willing to give $100 for a chance at a new ride.

Well MACMAN it would appear that there is rampant appathy out there.
A. No on is visiting this site during the summer
B. No one wants to contribute toward fixing the arena
C. people figure that $ 60,000 is not worth the effort, why should we go
out of our way when the adiminstarion has been dragging it's feet for
years? ( sorry editorial comment)
D. People do not have the $ 100

I think you'd be best holding off until the AD releases the facility master plan later this year.

It's not apathy for most. It's the fact that this is nothing but speculation and brainstorming of ideas. Any REAL fundraiser would have to go through the AD. Right now they are focused on the Barnstorming tours and such. 18 Sports-One Team concept. Don't assume that people wouldn't want to contribute to fixing up the arena, but in all reality, the UNIVERSITY should be paying to fix up the arena, not private funds like the Expansion was paid for.

You are right FF the Univ. should come up with the money.
Just thought that I would put those comments in to get a response.
AD, FC et al would have to be included.

Not true.
Any outside entity can form a Not for Profit Org and operate as Bosters raising and donating the money raised to the programs they wish or are in the thier NFPO charter.
So while this is brain storming, it could quite easily and with the right people and level of interest morph into a Falcon Hockey Boosters Organization, and not be subject to the AD or the Univ. I would consider it, Esp since it would be going to the best shot BGSU has to be on the National Title hunt, aside from womens B-ball, and further aid in Bringing the team and facility back to full glory!
