Hey guys. It is that time of year again when I start fund raising for the Ride for Kids and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Last year in large part to a whole bunch of very generous BOTL I was able to raise over $5000 for last years ride. Thank you very much to everyone who helped me reach that goal. I was recognized at the Ride last year as a Ride for Kids Champion and as the 4th place individual fundraiser for the 2010 Ride. So thanks again guys.

This year my goal is to raise $2000 for the ride. Unfortunately I don't have a whole bunch of boxes of cigars to give away and raffle off like I have the past 3 years or so. I will still give away some cigars though. The ride is on May 1st and shortly after the ride, I will put the names of all my donors in a hat and draw out a winner for a 5 pack of my best cigars from my personal stash. Among the 5 cigars will be a Tatuaje Frank and an Opus X Power Ranger.

Please visit my donation site and give what you can. Donations of any size are welcome and appreciated. They are of course tax deductible. The PBTFUS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. To learn more about them you can visit their site at http://www.pbtfus.org/about/.

BTW, if anyone is in the Raleigh are and has a motorcycle, you should come out to the ride event and join me for the ride and a morning cigar.  The Ride is May 1st at the White Oak shelter at Jordan Lake off of hwy 64.  More info here:

Bump....

 

Over $1300 raised so far towards my goal of $2000. Just a reminder that if you are planning to donate this year, I need the donations in by April 29th for this years ride.  Donations of any amount are appreciated and immensely helpful.  Thanks guys.

One last bump.  Donations for this years ride need to be in by next Friday.  I appreciate everyone's support.  Cigar smokers are incredibly generous and it makes me proud to be one.  A donation of any amount gets your name into the drawing for a 5 pack of my best cigars.  I'm am very close to reaching my $2000 goal with just over a week to go.

 

Thanks again!

Oops! Had my dates mixed up. We got 2 weeks to go not one. Next friday is not the deadline, but rather 2 fridays from now on the 29th.

Sorry for the confusion.

The ride was this weekend and it was great. Thanks guys for your support and generosity. Posted a Recap on my blog http://mattscigar.com/2011/05/02/201...or-kids-recap/.

 

I'll try and do the drawing for the 5pk of cigars either tonight or tomorrow.  I will post the announcement of the winner here.

 

Thanks again!!!
