First off I want to once again thank everyone that contributed. Your donations put the funds raised over the goal and will be a great help to the Petersen family.
I really wish I could tell each and every one of you that you won but there is one lucky DRN member that took the helmet tonight

VIC you will be getting an email in the next couple of days to confirm shipping arrangements.

Once again THANKS to everyone :cool:

It's really good to hear it went well for the family Dave, and very cool it went to a long time DRN member.

Congratulations Vic :cool:

Thanks, all. A great surprise!

I'm not sure if Dave mentioned it somewhere or not, but the helmet also comes with a DVD of all the riders signing it. How cool is that?!

I'm thinking of auctioning off the helmet on e bay and donating the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project, but I'm not sure if it would bring enough to make it worthwhile.

What do you guys think?

Vic when Chili won the first helmet raffle he donated it to a fundraiser for one of his local injured riders and I think it did better than it would have on Ebay.
Tough call but the local seems to pay off better

The only way I see it being worthwhile on E-Bay is if someone for the Wounded Warrior group got involved and publicized the auction a bunch. In my case everyone at the auction was there to donate/raise money for an injured rider and having the helmet as a prize just helped some folks dig a little deeper I believe.

If you decide to go that route post up the info and I'll do the best I can to get the info out to all the MX and Streetbike boards I hit on a daily basis.
