We are doing another ball raffle, but the beneficiary will be a little different.  The same cancer my son has (Ewing's sarcoma) afflicts a relatively unique age group.  The majority of patients diagnosed with this cancer are in adolescence (about 80% of 225 per year), so my son hit a lottery of sorts being Dx at age 3.  Likewise a family we met early on in our journey is the Wogernese family from Wisconsin.

Chad is the father and a 29 year old father of 2 young children (both under 5).  He has fought Ewing's with all of his might but they told him yesterday the cancer is going to win.  They have given him a few weeks to months at most.

We are trying to help them get to Disney before he becomes to ill to enjoy a great trip with his children.

Every penny donated to this ball will go to helping him enjoy this moment with his kids.  To read about Chad's fight follow along on facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/ChadsFight

As before this is a #15 NIB, great specs (15lb 1oz 2.5" pin 3oz top), drilling will be included with grips and slug at no charge.

Tickets will be sold via paypal to customfitproshop@gmail.com all ticket numbers will be emailed and the drawing will be recorded and posted to youtube.

1 ticket will be just $3
2 tickets for just $5
5 tickets for $10
12 tickets for $20

The last raffle we did for the Marvel-S raised over $1,000 for the 1 Million 4 Anna Foundation.  Let's eclipse that and help this great family enjoy a wonderful time together.

Any questions please feel free to email me direct at russellran12@gmail.com

Come on guys....$210 ball for $3?....and to help such a great cause...how can you go wrong? :)

To those that have purchased tickets I have the emails and will send confirmation with ticket numbers asap.  I wasn't thinking when I left my shop Saturday and left the tickets at the shop so I will draw them all tomorrow night when I'm there again (I'm closed on Mondays).

Thanks!!!

I'm sorry I totally forgot to include that....my mistake.  This is being thrown together really fast so I guess I never thought that far.  I will run this for at least a week so no earlier than this coming Monday or so.  I am hoping I can go around to a league or two in my center so no later than next Thursday.

We found out about his prognosis yesterday morning and my wife and I are doing what we can to help.  I literally grabbed the ball off of the wall and snapped some pictures of it as I know it's a hot piece that should stir up some interest. 

The Make A Wish foundation is amazing but they only help children.  This trip is more about his children but unfortunately their rules won't allow them to be helped.  Last I heard my wife chatted with his wife and they have someone donating plane tickets and I think their lodging is taken care of....we're trying to fill in the holes and let them have as much fun as possible during the week.

Thanks everyone for the support!

To everyone that has entered....I am so sorry I haven't sent the ticket numbers yet.  I have all of the email addresses with the confirmation and have been ridiculously busy the last two days.  I managed to leave the tickets at the shop both nights.  I will get the ticket numbers to you ASAP.

Apologies :(

Thank you for the donations, everyone should have a confirmation and ticket numbers that has entered.  If you don't see it in your inbox check the spam folder sometimes there end up there.

The drawing will be held Friday night and posted to youtube Saturday morning.  Let's help the Wogernese family make some wonderful memories while at Disney!
