2012 Fundraiser Benefiting The Haven foundation

The 2012 Fundraiser benefiting The Haven Foundation kicks off immediately and will run through May 19, 2012.

We are streamlining this year’s event to make it easier to manage and hopefully increase the donation total.
Several book dealers have already committed to donating things that will either be used as giveaways, or auctioned off-we are hoping for more once this official announcement is posted.

100% of the net proceeds from all cash, check, Paypal gift donations and Ebay auctions will be forwarded to The Haven Foundation. (Ebay ad insertion, commission and shipping fees are the only expenses that will be paid from the Gross proceeds).

Every person who donates $10 or more, or donates an item used for auction or giveaway will receive one entry into our giveaway*. Items for the giveaway have yet to be finalized, but rest assured they will be really exciting and cool! Please use the donation "widget" that is atop each forum page.

Paypal donations must be noted as a “Gift” so that Paypal does not take a commission.
The Paypal address is Zoidsmith@aol.com.

Checks must be made out to Jerome Smith (Please don’t make them out to The Haven Foundation as I will have to forward them and they won’t count towards our fund-raising total) and mailed to:

The Haven Foundation Fundraiser

PM me for address

Oh, I hear from a little bird that there will be more than a few "Juicy" items!!!! Starting with this:


http://www.ebay.com/itm/200702813649...84.m1555.l2649

Nice item, huh?

Just to "tease" everyone a bit. We have some wonderful things coming up for auction-including, a true "one of a kind" Stephen King signed surprise. This will knock your socks off.
We also have lined up some very cool items to be used in our raffle. To be eligible for the raffle all you need to do is donate $10 (or more) to the cause. For every $10 donation (capped at 10 entries) a person gets an entry into the grand prize drawing.
I can't tell you (yet), what this year's Grand Prize will be, but last year's prize was phenomenal. Stephen King PERSONALIZED a Gift edition of Full Dark, No Stars that had TWO pieces of Glenn Chadbourne art drawn in the book. It's the only one in the world.

Here is a pic of the personalization King did in the book:

Just to clarify...if I want to earn 10 entries into the raffle, I can donate $100 at one time. I don't have to donate $10 each 10 separate times, right?

Correct. Ten $10 donations = Ten entries.
One $100 donation = Ten entries.
One $1,000 donation = (thanks so much) Ten entries.

Are entries eligible if a member from this site wins one of the eBay Foundation auctions i.e. example $500 auction = 10 entries? Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

No. The presumption is that by winning the auction, you receive something valued at the price you paid.

Received and understood, ta.

You're Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to pique your interest, we are having 3 renowned artists doing a piece in a first edition of Everything's Eventual. Each piece is based upon the artists choice of a story they wanted to illustrate . The book comes with a custom1/1 case, and will have a 1/1 original art affixed to the inner lid. That's FOUR original pieces for one book!
Intrigued?

Very much so!

BONUS! There "should be" four renowned artists, and five unique pieces of art. I already have an image of one piece.....anyone care to see it?

Damn! I cannot believe I'm the only one that want's to see this!

Don't worry. Ebay will decide who is interested. :tongue:
