dunefreak Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 OK so as most you probably know already, the yearly Friends of Dumont Dunes cleanup is right around the corner. (March 15th) Every year at the cleanup there is a raffle for prizes for those who picked up trash. These raffle prizes are donated by companies and local businesses that like to help out for a good cause. In previous years, DumontDuneRiders.com as a group has donated towards these raffle prizes. Over the next few weeks we'll be accepting any donations or items that you as members of this site or as a business would like to donate. <br> <br> <br> If it is a cash donation, you can click this link and donate via Paypal. Paypal accepts major credit cards, electronic check, and of course Paypal accounts. <br> <br> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="none"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="sales@dumontduneriders.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="6th Annual FoDD Dumont Dunes Cleanup donation"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cn" value="comments"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but21.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> <br> <br> <br> If it is a raffle prize you'd like to donate, please pm or e-mail me at pete@dumontduneriders.com and I can either get you a mailing address to mail the item(s) to or we can work something out for them to be picked up from you. Last year members who owned businesses donated such things as lights, harnesses, whips, tool kits, ATV graphics kits, etc. When the item is raffled off your business name will be mentioned and plugged giving you the recognition and credit. If you don't own a business and you are just donating an item to be from DumontDuneRiders.com, just let me know and it will be donated as an item from DDR. <br> <br> <br> Any and all help with this year is greatly apreciated. We (DDR), as a group, do this in an attempt to make it easier for FoDD and to help make the cleanup fun and that much more successful. We don't profit or keep any of the funds whatsoever. It is all donated towards FoDD and in turn, goes right back into Dumont which is the place we love. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaKiller Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 When the item is raffled off your business name will be mentioned and plugged giving you the recognition and credit. Not that it really matters to me because we are there to clean up but this does not always happen. Can disappoint some. You should really see that that happens since some people donate some large value items hoping to get thier name out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really see that that happens since some people donate some large value items hoping to get thier name out there. Everyone trys their best to give the credit where it is deserved. Terry (ynot) MAY have missed a couple last year but you have to realize that there were LOTS of raffle prizes last year and it is hard to keep track of every single one....especially when you have LOTS of people getting impatient in 113 degree weather. Unfortunatley sometimes Terry didn't even have the information for some prizes so he needed to just keep things moving along so he could get through them all. At last year's raffle I heard a name mentioned on probably 98% of the prizes though. I will make sure whatever prizes are donated this year a business card or name is physically attached to the item so that doesn't happen again. :eatdrink021: I appologize if your name wasn't mentioned last year, Mike. I remember you donated a very nice Sanp On tool set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincity_blondie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 hey pete, on the cash donations, are you just going to run out and purchase items for the raffle?

I plan on making a donation, let me know if you need any help when time comes round to gathering items! :mischevious: When it comes time to gather up the funds, I am going to get with Terry and see what they need most. If it means picking up a semi-grand prize or a bunch of small things I'll do that ...OR if they need help funding the t-shirts htis year, we'll donate towards that. If there are items that need to be picked up from somewhere, I'll let you know. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) is FoDD a non-profit organization? (501c3) what im asking is if we can claim a donation to the raffle on our taxes?

dunefreak Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) is FoDD a non-profit organization? (501c3) what im asking is if we can claim a donation to the raffle on our taxes? :mischevious: yes, I believe they are. However you would have to donate directly to them instead of through the link. Not sure how you'd do that since they don't have a donation link available. Maybe ask Vicki. edit: I take that back. I think the link works now that is on FoDD's site. http://friendsofdumontdunes.org/ Edited February 25, 2008 by dunefreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Rhino Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 something for Vicki and Terri to consider is if you donate a certain dollar amount to get your name(business) on the t-shirt, and or on the banner? Just some thought as in the education market place that is what they do for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Pete let me know also if you need any help. I can donate some time and a little cash. If you can donate some cash, just do it through the link. As far as time, I'll let you know if there is anything I can think of like picking up things up in town etc. Other than that, I can't think of anything else right now.

Sincity_blondie Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey Freak, hows the donations going???? Do I gotta start the :shout: like I did last year to get peeps to give a little for the place they all love??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hey Freak, hows the donations going???? Do I gotta start the :shout: like I did last year to get peeps to give a little for the place they all love??? Well so far we have raised $125. You and indasand have donated. BTW you guys rock with your generous donations. No, I don't think we need to really push this that hard or start guilting people into donating money. As long as people come out this year to help just like years in the past, that is all that is hoped for. Raising funds and raffle prizes is just a little something extra that we (DDR) as a group do to help FoDD make the cleanup that much more fun.

desertskyz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is great news I talked to my really good friend at Kolby Honda in CA last night and from what I gather he was contact by and Terry talked him out of a $1000.00 generator to raffle off. Way to go Terry for getting that tight a$$ to give up the ghost this year. Maybe make up for what didn't happen last year. To Bill McClean at Kolby Honda. (ya squicky bastad) Thanks Bill :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~JILL~ Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've already picked up a PIZZAZ to donate, also ordered an extra pan for it, just in case a new one is needed. If not they can sell it to some one that does need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
