Reminders

We've been asking you to buy raffle tickets for our Napa/Sonoma Wine Country Basket raffle for a few weeks now.  And while the original description of the contest (viewable by clicking here) covered the basics, it might be nice to have a visual of what, exactly, you're getting if you win.

So, not only is everything in the basket delicious, but it looks good too (and you can use the metal bucket it comes in to hold ice and adult beverages at your next party).  We'll even ship it to you for free.  Your odds are still outstanding, tickets are only $20 (or 3 for $50), and these items would cost at least $200 in a retail wine store.  The raffle runs through July 4, but get your ticket today.

Other events to remind you of:

1. Every time you donate $10 (not earmarked for one of the other events) between now and June 30 enter your best guess for my (Michael) finishing time in the race (hint: my PR is roughly 1:52:00).  As with the actual run, seconds count!  For the contributor who most accurately predicts my finishing time, Katie and I will bring a bottle of wine back from Napa or Sonoma.
2. Ever wanted to have the feeling of being rich?  Of seeing your name (or your business's name) plastered all over a sporting event?  Here's your chance.  Between now and July 10 you can become a "sponsor" of a mile in the race.  Simply donate $50 and designate which mile (1 through 13) you'd like to sponsor.  I'll write your name (or business, organization, inspirational message, or all of the above) on my race attire as a sponsor.  A $100 donation sponsors the final tenth of a mile.
3. TRIVIA!!!!! Come by Lew's Bar and Grill in Waldo (75th and Wornall, Kansas City MO) at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 30th for a friendly (or not so friendly) afternoon of trivia, drink specials, prizes and a raffle.  For more details, click here.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and to everyone who will donate.  If none of these events spark your desire to give, but something else would, please drop your suggestions in the comments.
