** Tl;dr - Donate anything to the MDA, have a 1 in 13 chance to win cool chips

Hi All,

As we move into the holiday season, I try to reflect on my life and be grateful for what I have. This time last year, I didn't own any poker chips nor did I have the privilege of calling any of you my friends. Now I have many chipper friends and plenty of poker chips. In the grand scheme of things, we are fortunate that we have the discretionary income to afford something as arbitrary as poker chips. Some people can't pay their bills and we dump thousands into chips. I consider us to be a fortunate group filled with some very quality individuals.

In the spirit of the holidays, I also want to be able to give back to those who are battling for their lives. Having lost both parents to cancer at a young age, I certainly sympathize with the cause and donate annually, but I want to focus on an illness that doesn't get the volume of support it needs. Muscular dystrophy is a horrible disease and it happens to impact my brother-in-law, Robbie, who is a wonderful person who fights every day to find happiness and strength.

Therefore, in lieu of paying me for a raffle entry, I ask that you please donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The first 26 people who reply below with "In" will get an entry into the raffle for the chips below. I'm not asking for proof of donation as people can donate what they can afford (if anything) and I will take you at your word that you gave to the cause.

Donation site: https://www.mda.org/

(Please type "In" to reserve a slot and then donate after. I will cut off the entries at 26.)

The raffle winner will be drawn from the 26 Powerball numbers. Drawing will be held based on the Saturday, December 17th Powerball.

I apologize as I do not want to exclude folks, but considering the cost of shipping a MFRB internationally, I will have to keep this raffle to US residents only. I never limit my sales to CONUS as you deserve nice chips as much as the rest of us, but I hope you understand in this situation.

More info can be found via the link below and pics can be found below as well.

My wife just retired from the National Health Council, of which MDA is a member organization. Good cause.

I just made a donation, but I don't need an entry. Give it again to someone else who'd like the chips.

Just wanted to mention that the raffle winner is being drawn Saturday even if we do not hit 26 entries. Thanks everyone for your generosity thusfar!
 
In!
A riverchasers guy John has MS in a wheel chair and a girl named Tammy who is in the early stages I assume since she walks around fine but has some motor skill challenges.
 
Come on folks!!! Donate to a good cause and have a chance for some free chips!!!. If you do not I might have to donate more and steal the remaining spots!!!

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE CHIPS, IT IS ABOUT THE CAUSE.

PER OP DRAWING IS SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT!
 
Thanks so much for the kind words and generosity from everyone.

In order to reward this generosity, I am going to stop the raffle entries after the next entrant. With @pltrgyst removed as an entry, we'll give everyone who donated 2 chances to win.

This is a no brainer. Give something to the MDA and get 2 chances to win. Last slot!

(Obviously, donations are welcome, during and after this raffle, especially with the current matching programs going on).
 
@MacGrad, I do not need these chips. I will make you a deal...donate another $20 to the cause, and I will have @MegaTon44 ship the chips to you instead of me. What do you say? Deal?

I don't need these chips, either -- I was just hoping to win a raffle draw for once. ;)

Not that I object to the cause, but the $20 I donated for my entry was all I could spare at the moment -- my daughter's choir and volleyball team just started their fundraising, and I'll be trying to sell the WSOP and HC sample sets (probably at a significant loss) just to try to recover some funds from my failed fundraising raffle.

If you want to offer them to someone else, please don't feel like you need to hold them for me.
