phorbesie Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 hi folks! as you may have seen (if not, look at the pinned topic) there is a show going on this Saturday 7th for the people of Burma. i'd really like to collect some items for a raffle to raise even more money. i've tried to get some passes (ie. bluesfest, jazzfest) but haven't heard back yet. time is short and i need some help with this! therefore i ask, if you work for a company that makes goods or services, could you either ask your boss or put me in touch with them if they can donate something for a prize? it's for a really good cause and when we raise money with this donated prize, the money will go really far over there in burma. please help! many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm not affiliated with them, but I wonder if the Ottawa Rapidz might be open to kicking in some free passes/tickets.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I bet the CBC would help. Although their prizes aren't all that cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchoulia Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Since we sponsor Bluesfest, I'm sure I can get some tickets.What about tickets for Toronto events? Would that be undesirable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yes. Toronto is built of smokestacks and homosexuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 awesome, SP! since the crowd will be ottawa folks i don't think toronto tix would be a selling point for them. anything ottawa you can manage would be great though, thanks!

Patchoulia Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Maybe a blackberry or some other device. My boss is in a mtg, I'll speak to her before I leave today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 perhaps the malls would contribute something too, if you asked. free advertising for them to give away a $50 gift card or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 perhaps the malls would contribute something too, if you asked. free advertising for them to give away a $50 gift card or something...Good point, AD. I'd actually start cold calling at this point. I'm thinking salons/hair off the top of my head, but there is really no limit. I'd call the mall first to see if you could score a general certificate, but failing that, phone the individual stores themselves. If you can get management on the phone, it is going to be pretty hard for many of them to say no to the cause, I'd think. Hell, if you hit 1 out of 10, you are flying.

AD Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 there are a couple culinary schools in town, they might give away some fancy dinner evenings or something like that.what about that hot-air balloon company? sundance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 i have hit up the malls but for some (ie Rideau) their donation budget for things like this is set months in advance, so you need to request quite early. but yes, i'm trying everywhere i can!
