Rebel with a cause
From now until June 10th, the Isara Charity Organization is having a video equipment raffle to raise money to buy a used van ($7,000) or to build a new classroom for our free Learning Center. For three years the Isara volunteers have been using one moped for all our projects and a small classroom to teach hundreds of students. With a van or larger classroom we'll be able to do more and help more.

Raffle tickets start at only $5 and 100% of each ticket will go to the purchase of the van or learning center upgrades. Thank you to all the sponsors who donated more than $7,500 of equipment to this charity raffle.

Here are the items up for raffle:
-Abel Cine Tech - Sachtler SooM FSB 6 Tripod System (Value: $3,099)
-Letus Extreme 35mm Adapter (Value: $1,199)
-Redrock microFollowFocus v2 Bundle (Value: $895)
-Vidled Light Kits (Value: $788)
-Cool Lights CL-255P & CL-455P (Value: $700)
-Cinevate Pegasus Tracking System & DV Rebel's Guide book (Value: $575)
-Rode NTG-2 Shotgun Mic and Sound for Film and TV DVD (Value: $275)
-Spec-Comm HVX Battery & DV Rebel's Guide book (Value: $100)
-Apple 8gb iPod Nano (Value: $140)


You can't win if you don't play! Now go buy some tickets!!! Or I might have to sing again.

If you'd like to learn more about Isara, you can view this recent news story or read about us here. Thanks to everyone at DVXuser for their continued support and to Stephen Mick and Luis Caffesse for the whole idea. :thumbsup:

UPDATE:
Even though there's been a lot of interest in the raffle, and 220+ tickets have been sold, it doesn't look like we're going to reach our goal by May 15th. Because of this we are extending the deadline until June 10th. We will e-mail everyone who has already bought tickets to let them know of the change.

Cool. First video equipment raffle I've ever seen! :)

Do you give a receipt for tax purposes after a donation?
 
Thanks everyone.

Of course this wouldn't have been possible without our generous sponsors. Show them some love.

If you don't see your Raffle Ticket Numbers (ex: AP405, CL204) on the last page of the transaction then I can e-mail them to you.

Demistate - If you need a receipt we can provide you with one.

ilauzirika - You might have your chance if this raffle doesn't do well. :(

Thanks again. Please help spread the word.

Hi I'm in Thailand and would love to support the charity by buying raffle tickets. Is there a way for me to pay for the tickets via Thai bank account transfer or something? I use Siam Commercial Bank.
 
The Intern - Sure. Send me a PM or an e-mail letting me know which items you're interested in and how many tickets each. We'll use 35 baht per dollar for the exchange. I'll then provide you with some bank information. Where in Thailand are you?
 
Thanks, p.a.h. :thumbsup:

Here's a pic from when we had a party for patients at a physical rehabilitation center. Lots of food and sports equipment were delivered to them (20 miles away). We had to make numerous trips to the facility. This was the banana run. lol


And for our last helmet donation ceremony we borrowed a cart. We have another donation ceremony this Saturday. 100 helmets!


When we were making our Learning Center my Mom came to help.


Taking supplies to rural schools.


Furniture for the Learning Center.

how much?
 
Awesome idea. I'm in for a few tickets. A friend of mine is doing a doc on the Thai Asian Elephants. I'll let her know about this as well.
 
Excellent. Thank you for all the support! We've just passed the $1,000 mark. I'll need to update the Progress Meter.

:)

AmyO - Please let your friend know that if they're ever in Nong Khai (northeastern Thailand, on the border of Laos), I'd like to meet them and help any way I can. Thanks for your help with this raffle.
