Help some kids and you could Win a box of OpusX Love Affairs

Hey everybody. It is that time of year again. Every spring I do fundraising for the Ride for Kids. The Ride for Kids raises money every year for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation of the US. Last year was great, I raised over $3000 for the second year in a row. A recap of last year’s event can be seen here: http://mattscigar.com/2009/05/04/ride-for-kids-2009-recap-the-winners/. Social Cigars own John Long Island was one of the lucky winners last year.

This year I have enlisted the help of CigarsDirect.com, Sam Leccia, and Empire Cigars of Raleigh to help me raise some money. I am even throwing in some prizes from my personal stash. My goal this year is even bigger than it has been in the past. I want to raise $5000 this year and become a Ride for Kids Champion. If I can do it, I'll have a chance at the event to get up on stage and talk about my fund raising efforts and will have a chance to tell 750+ people how generous the cigar community really is. With a goal this large I really need every dime I can get so please help if you can. You may just win some sweet cigars in the process.

A $10 donation to a great cause gets you entered into a drawing to win one of these prizes. The cigars that are up for grabs are the following:

    * 1 box of Fuente Opus X Love Affairs provided by CigarsDirect.com
    * 1 Box of Fuente Hemingway Short Stories provided by CigarsDirect.com
    * 1 Box of NUB Cameroon 466BPT provided by Sam Leccia & Empire Cigars
    * 1 Cain F 5 Stick Sampler box provided by Sam Leccia & Empire Cigars
    * A five pack Tatuaje Sampler* incl. “The Frank” from my personal stash
    * A five pack of OPUS xXx Power Rangers from my personal stash
    * A five pack of Oliva Serie V Belicosos from my personal stash

Every $10 you donate gets you one entry and $50 will get you seven. Please visit my blog at http://mattscigar.com/2010/03/13/rfk2010/ to get all the details and to learn more about the Ride for Kids. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully to make sure your name gets into the drawing. It's a chance to win some really great cigars and support a really great cause in the process.

All donations must be made by April 28th to be included in the drawing. Winners will be announced on May 3rd after the Ride. The Ride is at Jordan Lake in North Carolina on May 2nd.

Thanks guys, for all your help and support. And be sure to thank and support the generous businesses that have helped out and donated the cigars. Billy Ferriolo of CigarsDirect.com, Sam Leccia and Oliva Cigars, and Hal "the Lord of Ligero" Rubin at Empire Cigars in Raleigh, NC.

Matt I hope you hit our goal. I'm very in tune with the cause, a friend of mine has a son that has been affected by this illness. Good luck.

We've broken the $4000 mark. Getting so close now. Just 2 days left. If we can just get within $500 I can makeup the difference to get to $5000.

Just need $40 more and I can get that last $500 taken care of. Four people at just $10 each takes care of it, or if someone is willing to donate $50 that will get you 7 entries into the drawing.
