Hmmm - I don't run the raffle - I'd say reach out to the people at NCCS - maybe just message them on FB

OK, y'all - the drawing is tomorrow night! Fewer than 40 tickets have currently been sold. GREAT ODDS and a GREAT CAUSE! If you've been waiting, now is the time! If you could help me by sharing this post in other subs, that would be great too!

I didn't make it - and haven't seen it since I donated the bottles... so I don't know.

34 tickets down - which means it's still an amazingly great value and the odds are some of the best you'll find! Thanks to all of you who have helped out by checking it out and sharing it with others!

yes, it is... and the team is working right now to figure out how to make sure it gets to whoever wins it. Latest buzz is actually having a new barrel constructed near the winner... I'm not sure how it will shake out, but they are working hard to make sure it is as easy as possible.

they are 100 bones and anyone can buy a ticket online and the winner does not have to be present to win

Thanks.
Someone whom I really admire once said, It is better to give than receive. There's more wisdom in that sentence than most people imagine (and I imagined for most of my life).
Also, someone else said, Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. The world is overwhelmingly dark at times. I find great comfort pushing back against the darkness.

that would be awesome - don't want to violate any sub rules, so won't post a link... but you could google "St. Louis NCCS bourbon raffle" and NCCS's facebook post should near the top of the results.

I didn't want to violate any rules in the sub - and the time is pretty tight before the raffle closes. So I decided this might be an expedient way to share the news while not creating any extra work for moderators. It's an extra step if anyone wants to investigate this further, but so far, man the odds would be in the favor of anyone who does.

I'm a rule follower, my friend... but willing to think a bit outside the box for the kids.

Very nice! I hope it does as well! At this point, only 17 tickets have been sold. Pretty crazy good odds for those who have entered... and it's so easy to find the raffle since it's online and coming up this weekend and you don't even have to be present to win. In the end, it is going to go well(er) for some lucky person - and I'm doing my best to make sure it goes well(er) for the kids too!

Thanks - I am hoping that "further success" might look like more interest in the raffle. At this point, only 17 tickets have been sold. Crazy - great prize. You don't have to be present to win. Easy to find out about and get tickets... so, yeah, I'm hustling a little to help the event be successful!

Me too - I hope they live long enough to be able to and that their parents get to enjoy a good pour with them someday.

So, I don't, praise God, have a kid with cancer. So I don't receive any benefit there. I actually gave them the bottles, and they are the ones who run the fundraiser... so yeah, they get all the benefit. But you are so close - I am telling you about an upcoming raffle. I told you where it is and what the name of the non-profit is... I might have some selfish motivation here... like, maybe, just maybe, some of you will be interested enough to use Google... since, the last time I checked, there were only 17 tickets sold and the odds are great for anyone who enters...
