The Charity Event

After voting, it has been decided that the two charities this raffle will go to is St. Jude's Childrens Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. These two charities work exclusively with kids, which everyone should have some kind of concern for. So, I'm excited about being able to help these two out.
Now, the way this is going to work goes like this. You can either paypal me or send a money order. Tickets are $2 each. Obviously, the more tickets you buy, the better chance you have to win. I won't be mailing you ticket numbers, but rather writing your name on a slip of paper, once for each ticket you buy, and throw them all in a hat and draw from it. In order to ensure faith that there is no favoritism or cheating, if I can find my webcam, I'll record it on there. If not, I'll just use a digital camera and upload it from there. You will see me put all the names in a bowl, hat, or whatever I have, and I'll draw a name and announce it.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU: When you paypal or mail me, I need your screen name in a message along with the payment. If I don't get your screen name, you will not be entered in the drawing at all.

Whatever is raised, I will split 50/50 and send it to the two charities listed, along with a letter explaining who we are, why we are sending them money, and sign it in the name of the PZ community. I'll also post the final amount that is raised, since you guys deserve to know. Our goal is to get at least $100 to each charity.


What You're Buying A Chance To Win

A BPi Flowstack of course.

http://bpinitiatives.com/images/asm30601_2.jpg

You may be wondering what it is. The BPI Flow Stack is a velocity stack designed to optimize volumetric flow rates into your induction system by preventing boundary layer separation at the inlet of your induction system. Both OEM and traditional aftermarket induction systems utilize a filter or filtration system that creates unfavorable geometry that initiates turbulent vortices and eddies at the inlet of your induction system, reducing the effective inlet ID. This turbulent fluid at the inlet is acting like a choke plate on your engine. The BPI Flow Stack takes advantage of the large flanged filter to create a induction system inlet geometry that will eliminate this "choke plate", by preventing the boundary layer separation and resulting turbulence. Each of our Flow Stacks is optimized using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Software to run flow simulations and ultimately provide you with a performance product that delivers results.
In simple terms, it make the air flow into your intake more smoothly, with a similar effect like ITB's have. For dyno sheets, CLICK HERE. (http://bpinitiatives.com/testing.php#Graph_1)

The winner will receive the whole deal, not just the flowstack. No filters, couplers, or clamps will need to be bought separately because they come with it. All you have to do is hook it up to your 3" or 3.5" V2 SRI or CAI and go. I had one on my car for a while, and I personally felt a smoother acceleration, especially in the low-mid range, with no tuning whatsoever just with this product. Remember though, ultimately, this is going to be for the kids. This raffle is just encouragement for you to participate, so give liberally. :fest06:

A HUGE thanks goes out to Bryan Pendleton from BP Initiatives (http://bpinitiatives.com/) for making this happen. I emailed somewhere between ten and fifteen potential sponsors with our intention and he was the ONLY one to even respond. In return for him donating a whole flowstack kit, we're going to give them a year of sponsorship on the site, which I think is very reasonable, and hopefully he will participate again in this next year. Again, without his assistance, this wouldn't be happening. I am personally very grateful for his contribution.

FINALLY

Again, thanks to Bryan for helping us out with this. If you don't win, I highly encourage you to go buy a kit from him anyway. If you have any questions about this event, please post up. I know everyone here can afford to buy at least one ticket though. If you can afford internet, a Prelude, and premium fuel for the Prelude, you can afford a $2 ticket to help some kids. If you don't want the flowstack or can't use it, and just want to donate, tell me and I'll leave your name out of the drawing. :smile:

[ogsmakdade]

E keep that last bit of money you owe me, and put it toward this fundraiser. I refuse to let Bill trump me. lol

[Si Speed]

It won't fit your V2, you know that right?
He actually has a 3.5" one available now. I might could get him to do that if that's what the winner has. We'll see, can't promise.

[ogsmakdade]

it's fine. I'd end up auctioning it or gifting it. I'm not doing this for the prize yO!

[Si Speed]

Glad to hear big homie. :cool:

[Si Speed]

That was the motivation behind it. :smile:

Bill, I'll recalculate with Rhys and Bustr's donations when I get back tonight where I have everything else written down and back to you with the total. It's looking pretty good right now though. :friday:

[Dwend]

I will donate the Change I have left from the calender sales.

[Si Speed]

Sounds good man.
I should probably buy one. I was looking at my wardrobe yesterday with my PZ BB Squad shirt, PZ hoody, PZ lanyard, and thinking how much money I've already spent paying for that crap, lol. Yes, I even paid for my own lanyard even though the whole batch came to me, lol.

[98BB6SH]

OKAY GUYS AS OF TODAY WE HAVE A TOTAL OF $107.00

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s249/bravoelement/PZmeter.jpg

E JUST AN IDEA HERE BUT HOW ABOUT YOU TALKING TO DWEND AND SEEING IF WE CAN ADD $1 TO THE COST OF ALL THE CALENDARS THAT SELL AND HAVE THAT $1 DONATED TO THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS FUND...?

:santaclaus:

[OEM~KaOs]

Don't get your panties in a wad there barbie - you need to update the meter again anyways

[Si Speed]

E JUST AN IDEA HERE BUT HOW ABOUT YOU TALKING TO DWEND AND SEEING IF WE CAN ADD $1 TO THE COST OF ALL THE CALENDARS THAT SELL AND HAVE THAT $1 DONATED TO THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS FUND...?

:santaclaus:

Well he said he'd send whatever's left over after the sales.

Don't get your panties in a wad there barbie - you need to update the meter again anyways

Got it.

[Irish Luder]

come on people!!!
i must say i'm quite disappointed so far i thought there would be more donated at this stage

[Si Speed]

come on people!!!
i must say i'm quite disappointed so far i thought there would be more donated at this stage

We're actually on very good pace to meet the original goal. $500 total would be awesome though. That one is sort of distant.

[Irish Luder]

ya but the fact that there are so many members i just had higher hopes i guess :smile:

[98BB6SH]

I'm tryin to get my friends, fam, and co-workers to get involved and donate. i should have some more money by xmas time.

btw - I will update the METER in a week. photobucket said i exceeded my bandwith so it'll be a few days til they clear my account. BS!!

[98BB6SH]

We're actually on very good pace to meet the original goal. $500 total would be awesome though. That one is sort of distant.

hey E what is the current total. i'll update the meter before i pass out. thanks

:joyman: <---This shyt makes me laugh! LOL

[Si Speed]

$157, go ahead and round to 160.

[OEM~KaOs]

That's it....?! Is that $157 per charity since we have 2 charities we are giving to?

[98BB6SH]

$157, go ahead and round to 160.
Whats up E. i'm at work til around 6. got the meter at home. I'll update it tonight when i get in.
That's it....?! Is that $157 per charity since we have 2 charities we are giving to?
i know, its weak. every little bit helps but we definitely need more donations.

[OEM~KaOs]

Well - if it's $157 TOTAL that's kinda sad - but if it's $157 EACH charity that is a lil better, that means $314 ($320 with the rounding E did)

[Si Speed]

$157 total. Like I said, my big coke can is covering the paypal fees and just contributing whatever else goes in. I'd estimate I have $20-25 in it but we won't count that till it's time.
Seriously though, fuel has gone down over a dollar now. I know everyone can afford to scratch together another dollar to at least contribute.

[bdizzel124]

E- i sent you more money!

[Si Speed]

Cool man. I'll write it down when I get back to school Sunday. That's where I keep the list of how many tickets everyone is getting. Thanks for helping again bro.

[OEM~KaOs]

I honestly can't contribute more, lol - E can vouch for me on this one...

[Si Speed]

Haha yeah I know. Every little bit helps.
It's like one of Obama's stories of a woman who gave him a dollar for his campaign since that's all she could afford. She could have done anything with that dollar but she decided to contribute to the candidate she has confidence in.
Same here, Even if we only sent $20 to them both, every bit helps.

[98BB6SH]

LUDERS WE ARE NOW AT $157. ALMOST AT OUR GOAL OF $200!

LET'S KEEP THE DONATIONS COMING... REMEMBER THIS IS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED

:santaclaus:

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s249/bravoelement/pzmeter.jpg

[bdizzel124]

Im sure there is a few of us who have contribueted a good around and ill do more!

But this needs a bump!!!! lets hit our goal guys and gals

[OEM~KaOs]

Im sure there is a few of us who have contributed a good amount and ill do more!

But this needs a bump!!!! lets hit our goal guys and gals

fixed for ya :wink:

and yes - the few of us who have contributed have done what we can, hopefully more people can get into it as well!

[Si Speed]

We're on $177 now.

The amount we have at this point is farily decent but the amount of people who have participated is disappointing. Thanks to those of you that HAVE contributed something, no matter how much it is.

[98BB6SH]

correction my friend... we are at $190. i just sent you another $13 to even it up. we are only $10 shy of our goal now

:santaclaus:

Is that including Stephanie's contribution instead of her getting her ride of the year winnings?

[Si Speed]

No.
That's in the stashed away that hasn't been counted.

[Brash22]

Oops, keep fogetting. Givvus a sec mate.
