SLAB Approved... This is what I am looking for...

OK, I was being a little cryptic earlier... We had a couple of local fishermen, in MS, get into a really bad wreck, and we are putting together a big raffle, which will include guided trips... These fellows are the salt of the earth and would help anyone anytime, but now they need our help...They are both going to need serious rehab, and the medical bills are already piling up, plus loss of income...
I asked SLAB if I could advertise the raffle when we are ready to sell tickets, to get this out in front of folks all over the country and he said, "Do it!"... He also said I could solicit donations... Yes, he is that guy!

I am looking for a guide who is willing to donate a trip on Guntersville to add to the prizes. My thoughts are that someone from out of state might win, take the free day, and probably book the next day...

If you are that person, or know someone who will help us with this, or can even donate anything else we can add that would be great. Please PM me, and I promise we will do everything we can to promote this.
I will add info on the raffle in about a week, so that all who are interested can get tickets...
Thanks!

Sorry you aren’t getting any responses. Surely someone can help!!

Thanks Damion... I am a little surprised, but we will keep trying...

How about the donation? Would be the best way for me to help

You can text me at 601-940-8376, or call, and I will be glad to work it out with you....

Maybe you can start a GoFundMe account.

We did, but folks that don't know them are not sending much. The idea for the raffle is that it will do better, since folks can win something..

Here is that GoFundMe..Fundraiser by Fredryck Macko : Friends 4 Life Get 2nd Chance - The John & JC Fund

Amazing they survived that! Great story in the gofundme link.

The Lord sure had his hand on them... John has significant brain injury, and is still "lost" most of the day... It is sad to see... He may end up on permanent disability from this...

600 views and no takers yet... I guess I need to be more general... How about a guided trip on any good lake in Bama? We are just trying to offer some great prizes so that we can raise more money for these guys! HELP!

Are you going to add the raffle?

I gave thru gofundme

Yes, we will open ticket sales April 2nd, and it will be posted then... Thanks for helping!

We ran into a snag with selling tickets online, which should be corrected soon... I will post details as soon as we have them all worked out... Meanwhile, we are still looking for donations, and that one guide who will offer up a trip in Bama...

How are the guys doing?

They are both out of the hospital now... JC is getting a lot better, because his injuries although bad were not as serious. John is still having some issues, as expected... They are both very blessed to have survived the wreck...

Update: We ended up having to get a non profit status to sell raffle tickets online, and are waiting on final IRS approval, which may take another couple of weeks... The new group is called Fishermen4Fishermen. We are hoping to kick this off very soon now... We have had a great response and have a bunch of great prizes, but no BAMA trip...
