Welcome to the 7th annual Arcade/Pinball charity prize raffle in support of the March of Dimes! I am again running this raffle to fundraise for the March of Dimes, whose mission is to eliminate pre-term labor and the complications associated with it. All three of my nieces were preemies and received care in the NICU, so I am now a life long supported of the March of Dimes.

Thanks to the support of the Arcade/Pinball community I'll be raffling off prizes to those who contribute to the fundraising campaign. The list of prizes is still growing, but here are a few of the vendors donating prizes to the raffle:

Pinball Life
Bob Roberts
Cajun Arcade
CAX
Pinball Expo
Ground Kontrol
This Old Game
Golden Age Arcade Parts

I'll update this thread again with the first batch of confirmed prizes. The raffle will commence at the end of the fundraising campaign on April 26th. Largest donation get first pick of prizes, and then I'll run down the list of participants in order until we run out of prizes.

To participate please visit my personal fundraising home page at:
http://www.marchforbabies.org/deanryanayer
Make a donation and include your user id on the Arcade/Pinball forums so I can track you down when its your turn to select a prize from the raffle.

Allyson, Hayden & Harper all appreciate your support!!!
