Somebody would donate a new iPod/Mac to AppleNova, and we sell raffle tickets via Paypal for, say, $5 each. Not only would you be helping a good cause, but you have the chance to win shiny new Apple stuff.

I'd say there's several hundred "regular" members here that would buy at least one ticket (I'd buy several if I could), and the odds of winning would be pretty good, seeing as we're a relatively small community. Half the proceeds would go to the AppleNova bandwidth fund (or wherever money's needed), and half would go to a respected charity foundation, to be donated in memory of Jack R. Frost IV. I would love to see this forum give back to the community, especially if it honors Jack.
I think this is a very cool idea. It would be a lot of fun and not only just a one time event!

I have never met Jack (LoCash) at AN, unfortunately... so it's not my place to say anything about him... I also lost a very, very dear friend a short while back... and I think he wouldn't mind a fun thing like this. So come on guys! Always look on the bright side of life *whistles the tune*. It wouldn't hurt anybody, IMO!
