October 28, 201312 yr My son and I are doing a Goruck Light (https://www.goruck.com/en/light). The company was started by a retired Army Special Forces soldier. The company sells backpacks amount other things and puts on events like the one we are doing. Some of the money from the events goes to the Green Beret Foundation (http://www.greenberetfoundation.org). Rather than ask for donations, I thought I would raffle off some Scotch and Beer. With the going rate for the Yamazaki 18, I figure the value of the bottles is at least $400. Thefollowing bottles go to the winner: Yamizaki 18 Highland Park 18 Bourbon Big Sound Baller Stout Abyss 20012 Surprise Bottle $25 per ticket. The raffle will start October 28 at 8:00 P.M ending November 17 at 8:00 P. M. To hopefully make this easier, I set up a donation page for the GBF: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/michael-baker-8/goruck I set my goal at $500 but hope to get more. I will give 1 ticket for each $25 donation. If you donate, pm me to let me know how much and I will assign you a number. I will do the drawing with a random number generator. Thanks for your support! Mike

October 28, 201312 yr Author Feel free to donate any time. I will count them all towards the raffle. After I posted, I thought I might open it up to another website (thedivewatchconnection.com) which is a small website, a lot like HC but watch oriented.
October 28, 201312 yr Author Guys, it starts tonight. I had a reason for delaying the start but decided to just start it now and let it run a bit longer.
October 28, 201312 yr Done Edit: I have some veteran patients who have done a similar (non-Special Operations) event and RAVED over it. Really challenging, but a great time, and really a fantastic way to bond. Good luck! Edited October 28, 201312 yr by jvlgato
October 28, 201312 yr Author Second prize? BTW, you're not letting Colin enter are you? Good question. Maybe I should add a second prize. As much as I know Colin entering throws off the curve, I would still accept his money.
October 28, 201312 yr Author It looks like we will have a 4 bottle second prize: BA Bigfoot Gates of Hell Life and Limb Tart of Darkness.
October 28, 201312 yr I was mostly joking, but I think that it's a good idea to have multiple prizes.
October 29, 201312 yr In. I can speak for Colin, he only likes wine, so no need to ship him the beer when he wins.
October 29, 201312 yr In. I can speak for Greg, he only likes wine, so no need to ship him the beer if he wins. FTFY
October 29, 201312 yr Sheesh, I feel like I am in Chicago during election season.....in again so I can beat Colin.
October 29, 201312 yr Donation sent for a couple of tickets. Good luck and well done in advance, Mike.
