KenP Posted February 23, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2013 I did a couple of searches, but couldn't find anything specific on the VR.org site. I was thinking of donating my old '84 VR to St. Jude. The only related website regarding vehicle donation to them I could find is: http://americancharitycenter.com/faq/ Have any of you done this, and/or have any experience with the above organization? Thanks !! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecdoo Posted February 23, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 23, 2013 Maybe a raffle:think: $10 bucks a ticket, with all proceeds going to Dragonrider/St Judes Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted February 23, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2013 Have you thought about donating here and let me post it in the St. Jude auctions, 100% of the winning bid will go to St. Jude along with all the other monies we receive throughout the year. If your not familiar with what we do, we have already donated over $25,000.00 to St. Jude since 2005. However you choose to do it, its a very worthwhile donation, and thanks for supporting St. Jude.

pmelah Posted February 23, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 23, 2013 Now that's a with while cause KenP I believe DragonRider could get more money in donations for a raffel of the bike than the actual value of the bike intern giving more moneys to St. Jude just my observation its your bike do as you see fit as either way its going to a worthy cause for the children:bighug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Ken, if you want to donate your '84 Venture to the St. Judes charity, via either here, or through DragonRider, I would be interested in bidding on it. I do wish it were a 1986 or newer, but...charity bidders cannot be choosy. Please tell me, us, all you can about your '84 Venture, mileage, condition, pictures...everything, and...I will start the bidding off at $ 500.00.
