So what’s crazier than flying into a town to learn about airline points & hotels? Raising funds for charity of course while at the Do!

I'm chair of the charity raffle, and am in the midst of lining up fabulous prizes such as airline & hotel gift cards, electronics, airline ‘stuff’, and other cool things.

Tickets will be $1/each, with discounts (ie, more tickets) for extra tickets you purchase. Proceeds from the raffle will be donated to FT Kiva, as well as 4 Chicago area charities for children (Chicago Lights, Chicago Food Bank - Nourish for Education, Reach The World, and Misericordia).

StarMegaDo1 did a similar raffle & raised $5,000 for charity. With twice the number of attendees, we’d like to beat that goal – because hey, we’re FTers and they’re good causes!

So I need your help – I need people to help me sell raffle tickets on Saturday (raffle takes place Sunday morning; must be present to win). Please contact me directly via PM or email to offer your assistance in handling raffle sales.

See you in a couple of months - and start saving those $1bills (or $5, $10, $20 ).

Cheers.
