Every year we have amazing donations to our Red Cross Raffle! This year is no exception!
Parallax has tripled their usual entry in the raffle by adding lunch time & dinner raffles! You'll have two chances to win a bunch of great Parallax stuff! Also, one lucky attendee will go home with a QuadRover!!!
Also many attendees step up to contribute items of value as well. (Propeller related please!) If you have an item which is to be added to the raffle, please see me the morning of the expo to register it!
We do a lot of good for charity and have fun doing it! Unfortunately, the results usually get completely buried in these forums. No longer!!
Want to see what is already on the raffle table for UPEW 2011?
Items will be added and tracked here. You'll even know how much money an item raised!

If (more like IFF) my 11 year-old finishes his "biome" report tonight then he'll be hawking raffle tickets on Saturday. He's been instructed to take all of the attendee's money in exchange for raffle tickets, building a large Red Cross donation. He's not an aggressive salesman but he knows this is far more productive than selling Boy Scout popcorn in front of a grocery store.

You can always have someone you trust who is present to play for you.

It includes 4 side panels and a version-2 top panel. They are smoke gray (translucent) and look like the original panels. The bottom panel and mounting hardware are not included and can come from the original C3 enclosure.

When is the Quadrover drawing? I'm not sure what time I'm going to have to leave on Saturday.
I'd love to be there but I have a kid graduating from college this weekend. I guess I'll have to just donate to the Red Cross myself. I hope everyone has a great time at UPEW! I'm hoping to make it next year.
Last year, I was only able to attend UPEW on Saturday. With the requirement that you be present to win and with the drawing being on Sunday, I didn't purchase any tickets. But as I was leaving late Saturday afternoon, I saw someone else who was also leaving handing a string of tickets to one of the presenters (the gentleman who did a great presentation on his RTO for propeller) because he enjoyed his presentation so much. I thought that this was a GREAT thing. Not only did the Red Cross get a donation, the presenter got a little something for his efforts.
So my point is, if you enjoyed someone's presentation, give them a ticket! Maybe they'll win something for their efforts. It looks like a Win-Win to me.
See you at UPEW...

You may be right. All I remember is that I had to leave befor the drawing.

That said, I enjoy the raffle, because the kids are great!
