Martin Tilley at Asylum Designs will be raffling off a BASE rig to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Tickets for the raffle are $60, with proceeds to be donated to hurricane relief. Contact Martin at Asylum (530 823-5222) to buy a raffle ticket, make a donation, or for more details.

I'll post more details in a few days, but I just wanted to get this out there and let people know.

Container and canopy?

Does it matter.....?

Hooray for Marty & Asylum Designs!

Watching the destruction and then the chaos brought by Katrina has been apalling. When the tsunami hit Thailand the world pulled together to send aid immediately. I've been hoping to see something similar happen for Louisana and Alabama. It's sad to say that this is one of the only efforts I've heard of so far.

Blessings on the people affected by the storm, on those that help even when they get shot at in the streets, and on Marty and others like him that are willing to give of themselves to try to make a difference.

Peace,
Karen

Yes. I'm curious what he's raffling off.

Will it affect whether I donate or not? No way.

Fair enough.

Hi, don't take this as some political remark but as a personal friendly observation.
when the Tsunami's hit, they hit countrys and area's that have enough trouble feeding there own people, so everyone chipped, australia chipped in $1 billion and I remember Bush chipped in $10 million, I think after a few weeks Bush gave in to international pressure and chipped in more.
anyway, the tsunami country's really could have done with the aid so people sent it.
the US has a military budget of a few hundred Billion $'s and is like the richest nation on earth, I don't think they'd need 3rd world nations to chip in.

I think the USA can afford to raise enough relief cash internally and I think Asylum Designs is setting a good example for everyone else.

 

Who do we make the check payable to?
American Red Cross? or other?

I'm in, and bought two tickets . . .

Thanks, Martin . . .

I bought a ticket and three quarters LOL. I must be one of the dumb ones who did not realize I could buy two tickets...

Forget it Nick that rig is mine... even with just my ticket and three/quarter !!! Your two tickets won't help you.

Seriously guys... who ever can spare some dough please participate in the raffle. It's for a good cause!!!

But forget about the rig... it's mine LOL

I bought 1 and encourage others to do so,
If you ...really, can't afford it give something...anything $1 $10 it's not about the raffle,and anything helps!!!
Seriously.
