O.K. so most of you have seen it, now you can WIN it!. I am excited to announce that the Kite buggy that many of you have watched being built by PKF member Van is going to be raffled off at the WBB Spring 2011 Event. This is a very gracious offer by Van.

Peter Lynn is also going to donate a kite that is going to be raffled off at the same time. We will not know what that kite is for another week or so. It is being hand delivered to Adam when he gets to NABX.

Tickets are going to be $10 a piece, or buy 4 get one free. When you buy a ticket, you can win both prizes. If your ticket is pulled for the buggy, your ticket goes back in for a chance to win the kite as well.

East Coast Kite Sports wanted to find a way to give back to the great Wildwood Community in some way. Thanks to Peter Lynn, and Van from VTT, we can make that happen. After several attempts to find a great cause to make a donation to, Todd contacted Joe Catanosa, also know as Joecat here on PKF. Joe is a Wildwood police officer. Todd informed him of our intentions and Joe told him about the Wildwood Catholic High School and it's impending demise last summer. The Diocese was going to close the school, and not be open this past September. The Wildwood community came together and protested to keep the school open. Joe is very involved in the activities that are behind keeping the school open. He is also trying to start a Power Kite Club in the school. What a great opportunity to give to a great cause.

So when you get to Wildwood, see any one from the East Coast Kite Sports Team, (Rian, Myself, Todd, Donnie, Chad, Lee, or Crisi)and we will be sure to hook you up with some raffle tickets. You must be present to win. It will be raffled off after dinner Saturday at the BBQ.

Thanks for your time, and lets buy up some tickets for a great cause. Also for some really great prizes!

Rich

Nice...:bigok:

Kewl stuff Rich! Some great gear and more importantly, a great cause.
We can't wait to see everyone there!

Oh and BTW, you guys ROCK :karate:

Great raffles! I'm in for the cause. Our local Catholic Schools have lost nearly half of their enrollment in this economy and a few have closed or merged. Sad.
Thank you Van and PL for your generosity
And Joecat for his service helping the WW community.
WWBB gets better every event!

I'm glad I can help. I've been in LA since saturday morning. Just got to Primm earlier this evening. Cant' wait to ride this week at NABX and then WBB.

This is awesome. Thanks to Van and PL for the donations. Van we're looking forward to meeting you.

Whoo Hoo! Buggy for a cause! (Never really need a reason, but...) :bigok: to Van and PL for getting in on the raffle, and Wildwood for the best buggy beach!

Holy crap (no pun intended) I've got to tell the kids no Taco bell for a couple of weeks I need ticket money! You guys made my heart skip a beat.

Boy your kids are going to go crazy without Taco bell! I know I would!

Saving my pennies...

$10.00 a ticket. HMMmmmm how much $$ does one need to buy all the tickets? Man I wish I was a scarry as I look after work. I would just scare away all the other buyers!!! Good luck to every one on this awesome raffle.

Dave were you one of the lucky lottery winners up north? :puzzled:

It is going to be an awesome raffle!

What lottery was that? I guess not :tumble:

I've been testing the buggy in the pics above and one with a longer side rails. I've got a special seat and color scheme planned for the buggy that's gonna be raffled off. Testing is going well so far so the lucky winner will get a super fast and stable buggy. I will bring a set of short and long rails to the event so the winner will have a choice.

Can't wait to meet everyone!!!

Glad to hear it is testing well. See you in two weeks!

Will you autograph it for the winner too? I'll bring a paint marker just in case I will

I cant make the event due to my situation but Id like to show support and buy a t shirt and raffle ticket or two..............Im not concerned about winning a door prize.............I like the passion, and support by forum members as well as supporting the WW local parish..................great ambassadors ladies and gentleman....................

Tri, I will send you a u2u.

Thanks so much for your support Tri! I am on it!

thank you and your staff, WWPD/fire and rescue for a great event..................I plan on making it up there someday!

Can we enter if we're 1200 miles away? Missing the east coast... I grew up in stone harbor so morey's, mariners, gateway 26, and clearly curley's fries have a special place Next time I'm in town I'll certainly holler out to y'all for a meet up!!

I registered in support of the event...........would have liked to make the event but cannot. I am not eligible for the raffle nor did I expect to be.....................

Arkay, definitely give a shout the next time your on this side. Always look forward to meeting other PKF members as well as any other kite nut!

Chris from HQ contacted Rian today, they are going to donate a kite or two as well for the raffle! A great big thanks to those that have made donations. Going to be some great prizes folks. Save up those green backs and help us raise some money for a great cause! See you guys in a week! I will be arriving Wed around noon or so!

I've been working on the buggy lately to give it a little BLING!!! So save up a little dough for a chance to get a customize buggy. It's for a good cause so come out and support WBB.


These panels will be part of the seats/rails for the raffled buggy.

Man, that is sweet! I was thinking, If I really got that 7.5M Apex III for $5.00 plus shipping, I'd donate it for the raffle too! Even though it is a beautiful green! :evil:

Van superb job! It is going to be fun putting this together at Headquarters!

Bob we are just greatful you are going to be making it this time around!
