There are fewer than 75 qualifying entrants for our Grand Prize.
There are fewer than 75 qualifying entrants for our Grand Prize.
I have asked Brian freeman at Cemetery Dance to be the neutral party conducting the drawing for The Grand Prize. I will be sending Brian an envelope containing the "tickets" with each qualifying entrants name on them. He will shake them up and announce the winner. Cemetery Dance (and their partners, employees etc.) are not eligible to win the Grand prize. Additionally, staff members of TheDarkTower.org and Stephen King affiliated publishers and artists are not eligible to win.
This really be the "I know the winner" type drawing as there will likely be less than 100 entrants, most every one of them a member here.
I will handle the weighted drawing for the alternate prizes-too much work for Brian.
Jerome, if I understand this correctly, those of us that donated auction items that sold for more than $10 are entered into the Grand Prize Drawing...right?
How do auction item donations work for the giveaway items? If a donated auction item sells for $1000, does that donor get entered 100 times into the drawing for the giveaway items?

Yes and no. You donated an item that went for ~$1K. You have a single enyty in the Grand Prize drawing. You have the maximum number of entries (10) in the weighted drawing. That is based upon one entry per $10 donated, but capped at 10 entries per person.
Brian Freeman from Cemetery Dance will be conducting the Grand Prize drawing. I will send him the entry tickets, he will toss them in a large bag, jar, box, whatever he chooses and then pull the winning entry.
I will handle the weighted drawing since it is too much work to expect Brian to do.
Sound good?
Thank for the clarification.
Sounds good and fair.
I see that the cut off for donations is 05/19.
Since you are sending the Grand Prize names to BF of CD, I assume the winner will be announced about a week later.
What day will the giveaway winners be anounced?
Forgive me if this information is already posted..I looked, but could not find it?

For donations we can just contribute money equal to or greater than $10 and then we are entered to win? If it is still under 100 people by the end of the weekend I would be very willing to enter this.

I get that part. Maybe I did not phrase my question right, sorry. I was just verifying that you do not have to have donated an item or anything other than $10 to be considered for the Grand Prize drawing.

This is cool.
Hey, I just wanted to say this before I forgot: it has been a lot of fun working with Jerome and Patrick on some of the cool items that we were able to donate this year, and I really hope we can participate again next year. Thanks to everyone who bid on something we donated or who made a donation of their own. It's a great cause!

Brian Freeman and Cemetery Dance have been wonderful supporters of this fundraiser. Thank you so much for all you've done to make this a success!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed and donated their time and money for the benefit of The Haven Foundation.
Man, I wish weren't exempt from this year's drawing.
RF, Just saw that the deadline was posted here all along, my bad. (Sorry if this has been covered as well but...) When will the prize winners be announced or is it TBA?

If all goes well, the Grand prize winner will be announced either Tuesday 5/24, or Wednesday 5/25. This is not locked yet, so stay tuned.
Thank you, will do. Either one sounds like a fine date to recieve an early (best) birthday present
