Administrator | Announcing: United Yorkie Rescue (UYR) Fundraising Raffle 2008! Announcing... The YorkieTalk Raffle for United Yorkie Rescue (UYR) We all love Yorkies and that's why we're here! However, not every Yorkie is fortunate enough to have loving parents and a happy life, which is where United Yorkie Rescue comes in. They rescue Yorkies from all over, and rehome them to find them a warm, loving home. As recommended by bettyeanne and Kirby's Dad, this is an excellent organization that truly loves Yorkies and wants what's best for them. We are doing another raffle for United Yorkie Rescue again this year. They are a non-profit organization that rescues and rehomes Yorkies. Their website is: United Yorkie Rescue When they receive a dollar in donations, 91 cents of that donation goes directly to vet costs, the other 9 cents goes towards postage and insurance. UYR has spent over $450,000 in vet costs for rescued Yorkies since 2002 and have rescued 1296 Yorkies thus far. These facts are directly from Mary Sullenberger, the president of UYR, and their financial status can be viewed at Guidestar.org, which is the non-profit organization that monitors other non-profit organizations. In 2006, YorkieTalk was able to raise $720.00 for United Yorkie Rescue (UYR). Last year, YorkieTalk was able to raise $1600.00 for United Yorkie Rescue (UYR). Link to the past UYR threads: YorkieTalk Fundraising for United Yorkie Rescue! - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ers-video.html This year, YorkieTalk will be having one BIG RAFFLE, with as many prizes as we can get, to support United Yorkie Rescue. We have gotten approval for this from United Yorkie Rescue already and they are thrilled with our idea. We are looking to raise at least $1,000 for UYR and we need your help! The more prizes we have, the more we can raise for this great organization! We hope to raise even MORE money than last year! YorkieTalk is proud to announce that EVERY CENT raised through raffle tickets will go directly to UYR. For example, if you use Paypal and buy a $5 raffle ticket and there are Paypal fees, YorkieTalk will cover the Paypal fees, and your FULL $5 will go directly to UYR after the raffle is over. YorkieTalk will post a picture of the actual cashier's check that will be sent to UYR, as we have done in previous years. Raffle Tickets are $5 (Available from June 24, 2008 through July 25, 2008) We already have over $500 worth of prizes for this UYR Raffle! To buy a raffle ticket, we take payments via Paypal. Send payment to raffle@yorkietalk.com and please mention that your payment is for UYR Raffle Tickets and include your YorkieTalk username. If you'd like to make a financial donation only to UYR (meaning you do not want any raffle tickets), that is fine as well, just mention that your payment is a financial donation to UYR. We will pool the money together along with raffle ticket sales and send one check to UYR. Or you may directly donate to UYR by going to their Web site. We will only be selling raffle tickets to current YorkieTalk members. Please make sure you have a YorkieTalk username before you purchase a raffle ticket. Please note payments are not-refundable. Also, this fundraising effort is directly for UYR, thus if you are not a YorkieTalk Donating Member at this time, buying raffle tickets will not go towards YorkieTalk Donating Member status. You may buy as many raffle tickets as you want! There will be a limit of one prize per person. The drawing will be held randomly by YorkieTalk staff and winners will be announced shortly after the raffle ticket buying period. YorkieTalk administrators are not allowed to win any prizes, YorkieTalk moderators are eligible to win prizes. We will announce the winners shortly after the raffle ticket buying period is over. If there is anything you could donate to the raffle in terms of a prize, it would be greatly appreciated (we do suggest a minimum value of $10 for each prize). We do ask that gifts be Yorkie-related if possible. It can be a gift basket, a box of toys, Yorkie clothes, gift certificates to your store, artwork, or anything else you can think of that is related to Yorkies. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated! More information about United Yorkie Rescue at: United Yorkie Rescue You may also donate directly to United Yorkie Rescue by going to their site directly or by purchasing items from their online store: United Yorkie Rescue's Online Shop: THE YORKIE SHOPPE - Homepage Please PM us directly with prizes you would like to donate for this fund raising effort. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, -YorkieTalk.com Last edited by admin; 06-26-2008 at 04:14 PM. Reason: Extended deadline to July 25, 2008 |

| Do the tickets have to be bought one at a time or can they be bought in bulk? Say make a 50$ purchase at one time for 10 tickets or do you have to make 10 individual purchases???? |

| I believe you can buy them in bulk. If you want 4 ticket you just pay $20 for 4. Some people buy one or two here this week and then they'll buy more a few days later. I guess that means you can actually do it either way. Good luck
