Important Big Mike Raffle Update, Plus New Video!
The official deadline to win this stuff is May 28. Come in, plunk down five bucks, and win the whole stash.
This is the very last Big Mike Raffle… come give it one last shot while there’s still time! Enter as may times as you can for better odds!
Before I leave you with that, here’s an edit I made off of some slightly older footage that has a good portion of Big Mike’s backyard ramp in it. We had shown up late, so we don’t have footy of him skating in this clip, but he had been ripping it the entire day before we showed up.
Anyway, please give this final raffle a shot. All of the funds will go directly to the Big Mike Trust, which will in turn go directly to Mike’s wife Darlene and son Erik (who also happens to be another skater to the bone).
Thanks.

How much has been contributed in total to the Big Mike Trust? When it was first set up yall said you would keep us posted on the amount but I have not seen any postings of the amount collected yet. i would be curious to know how much as been raised so far, since i have contributed to some of the fundraisers and many people I know have as well.

Heya Jason, it wound up being hard for me to update everyone in real time about how much was made, as there were some days where no direct donations were made, plus scheduling between me and Kerry.
I can say that the past two raffles have resulted in about $500 each, plus several hundred dollars from direct donations and board sales (globally). I’ll be getting with Kerry to get the grand tally together… the lack of fiscal updates has been my fault, but I’ll have the monetary details up for everyone to see.
Regardless, props to you and everyone else that’s helped us with the cause… from individuals to major skateboard corporations… it’s been a real head trip to see so many good people doing whatever they can do, for a guy that (in many many many cases) they didn’t even know.
For a quicker response to the money raised question though… feel free to call the shop when Kerry opens up. He’s way on top of everything.
