this is such a great idea. this is pretty large scale but i think it would be a great idea to have some way to get small scale fund raising all of the time. i know it would be quite a job moderating this year round but i am sure somebody with the adequate reputation, know-how and dedication would be willing to help.
i am not pitching this, just my thoughts. if we could give the companies a little bit of time to recoup from this give away then re-pitch the idea, on a smaller scale. 5 prizes, 1 from 5 different companies. Each participatning company can post 1 "reply" in the form of an advertisement for their company for their respective product.
The member must donate "~$10." to be eligible for the drawing. Once it reaches "~$200.", the random drawing is done and the 5 winners must log the product here at AM.
Keep in mind that this thread has 2,331 views, 190 replies in under a month. That is a decent advertising opportunity.
