by **private9** » January 12th, 2011, 7:27 pm

***** UPDATE*****

The winner of the raffle was :
Luke from NSW (Duke57TT on http://www.calaisturbo.com.au)
He has very generously decided to donate back his $500 prize and we will raffle it off again to help raise more fund.

Congratulations Luke and thanks again for your generosity!

The new raffle is open now and we will hold it open for 2 weeks from today, entries close 11:59pm Tuesday 8th Feb.

Dear fellow forum members,

As you will have seen very vividly across the news, the floods in Queensland are currently having a devastating effect on the local communities in this state. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has experienced loss through these tragic events so far. With more yet to unfold the aftermath is yet to be known and the Queensland community needs all the help it can get.

We would like to help raise funds for the QLD Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal and we are running a raffle to win a $500 Tuff Car Parts gift voucher.

The raffle opens now and entry is only $10 per ticket. Entry starts now and closes 9pm Wednesday 19th January.

All proceeds will be forwarded to the QLD Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal at the close of the raffle:
http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

To enter, you simply need to email us for payment details (please include which forum you are from, username, your full name & contact details). Email to sales@tuffcarparts.com Please do not PM as email is much quicker for us to collate.

Payment is available either via bank deposit or paypal. You MUST use your username as the transaction reference. Payments without a reference will still be donated to the appeal, but will not be entered into the draw so please keep this in mind.

Communities have been devastated and many people have lost everything – this is a chance to make a difference – and remember a $500 Tuff Car Parts gift voucher is the winning prize!

Winner and funds raised will be announced here at the close of the raffle.

Thanks,

Justin.

Ok guys, if all payments come through, approximately $500 has been raised so far!

Keep up the great work, and please help spread the word, only a few more days to go!

Thanks for the support guys, keep it coming!

Ok guys, entries officially closed 11.59pm Wed 19/1. As payments were made well into early Thursday morning, many of these will not clear until the end of the day.

So to be fair to all who have entered, the winner will be drawn and announced on Monday 24/1 and total funds raised will be announced (and donated) at the same time!

by **rhys** » January 25th, 2011, 9:21 am

So was this drawn yesterday?

by **nothin suss** » January 25th, 2011, 9:26 am

Looking forward to winning. Fingers crossed!

by **OMY-747** » January 25th, 2011, 9:53 am

I'm looking forward to how much was raised. Nothing announced on ct yet either.

Me too!!! i desperately need a hi stall!

by **private9** » January 25th, 2011, 10:27 am

Sorry about the delays guys, had payments coming through yesterday so wanted to include them.

A total of $550 has been raised and this has just been donated to the QLD Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal (name has been changed to Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal).

Fantastic work and thankyou to everyone who supported this. On a slightly more disappointing note, we actually had double that amount in entries, but in the end only half the payments were received.

And the winner is......

Luke from NSW (Duke57TT on http://www.calaisturbo.com.au)
Have just spoken to the lucky winner, and he has very generously decided to donate back his $500 prize and we will raffle it off again to help raise more fund.

Congratulations Luke and thanks again for your generosity!

The new raffle opens now and we will hold it open for 2 weeks from today, entries close 11:59pm Tuesday 8th Feb.

Ill be entering the next one . Ill buy a few tickets to it .

by **nothin suss** » January 25th, 2011, 2:28 pm

Good on him... Great way to keep raising some funds!

Yep, what a legend! He offered it up without a moment's hesitation - left me speechless for a moment!

Already had a few new entries so far, so keep it coming!

by **nothin suss** » January 25th, 2011, 4:55 pm

I'm going to feel guilty if i win and take the prize now....
I might just donate $450 to the fund and keep the voucher

by **rhys** » January 26th, 2011, 8:41 pm

Hmm was interesting for him to do that. If he had no interest in taking the winnings why didnt he just donate directly to the floods himself? Oh well, I still say good on him.

by **private9** » February 1st, 2011, 8:39 pm

Hey guys,

Just a reminder that the new raffle is still open and going until 8/2!

Thanks,

Justin.

I don't see the need to put a negative spin on someone's kindness...

Only a few days to go guys! Not too many entries so far so the odds on winning are pretty damn good!

transfered today justin...

by **private9** » February 8th, 2011, 8:24 am

Ok guys, today's the last day - entries close at 11.59pm.

As with the last draw, we will not be drawing for 2 days after the end to allow for all bank payments to come through. This means we will be doing the draw on Friday.

Odds are still pretty good for anyone entering, so keep the entries coming today!
