How does shipping the helmet from member to member help the members?
The helmet,after being signed be any member who wants to sign it,will be raffled off at the end of the year.All the proceeds from the helmet raffle as well as some other things that have been donated by members and several of the sponsors from this site will be then be dispursed to a member in need or to a charity of our choice.I figure in Octobor we can open a thread where members can nominate where the funds will be sent to.
While I am on the subject, I have gotten a few PM from members who want to know how the funds are being kept, and who is responsible for keeping track of the funds.As one member put it, "how do we know you arent going to just pocket the money and take off?"
Well,I guess you dont know,a certain amount of trust is invaluable here,but I asure you that I have no intentions of keeping a dime of the money myself.If there is anyone that would like to nominate a second in charge,speak up now.I will hand over co-access to the paypal account so that each and every dime is accounted for.Right now we are already sitting on funds that have been donated by members that wanted to contribute but where unable to sign the helmet for one reason or another.
