    Unhappy Auction for my friend's kids

    thanks to Al for allowing me to do this..

    as most have seen with my other post, a very good friend was murdered in a domestic situation last night, and leaves behind two young children. her place of employment is running a Cierra memorial day today, with all profits going to her kids. I would like to do the same, and auction off a guided Potomac river trip for Smallmouth and musky. I will also put together a few bags of stuff from my shop, Potomac Custom Tackle with ALL money going to her children.

    I really have no idea how to even get this started, but the trip will be for a minimum of 8 hours - if you decide to travel we can make it a few day trip, no problems. My trips include the use of rods, reels (if wanted), lures, and a shore lunch.


    Ill do raffles for 10 pack bags of hair jigs, 10 packs of spinnerbaits, and 10 packs of eakins style finesse jigs. I will get pictures of everything when I get home from work.

    sorry for being scatterbrained, im running on no sleep, and am still quite a bit in shock. any suggestions of how to do this will be greatly appreciated.

    Auction will end Friday 7/12/19 at noon.

    Let me know when you figure out the raffles and I'll get the guys from my shop involved. Probably do it through pay-pal or Venmo.

    For the raffle guys- everything is poured and will be painted and assembled tomorrow. Should I tie some jigs in good general colors, or make it winner selectable?

    I would think winner selectable might be best.

    If I'm not mistaken Go Fund Me skims the donations, rather go with a BBC gift spot with PP.
