    The Official Fisher House Charity Project

    Akersc, Computalotapus, and the staff of Weapon Evolution (WEVO) are proud to announce the launch of the Fisher House Charity Project.

    A description of the Fisher House for those who are unfamiliar with this charitable organization:

    “The Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment.”
    • Families served: More than 22,000 in 2013
    • Daily capacity: 832 families
    • Families served: More than 220,000 since inception
    • Number of lodging days offered: Over 5.2 million
    • 7,000 students have received $11,000,000 in scholarship awards
    • Over 46,000 airline tickets provided by Hero Miles to service members and their families, worth nearly $73 million
    For more information on FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION visit: www.fisherhouse.org

    This project was painstakingly envisioned and created by WEVO members akersc and Computalotapus to benefit this wonderful charity to help our nation's wounded veterans and their families while affording the opportunity for the donors to win several fantastic prizes themselves donated by extremely generous members of the firearms and related industries.

    The way to donate (and enter the drawing) is very simple! To enter the drawing, you must donate to the Fisher House Project through PistolPay, the link taking you to the Project's PistolPay page: https://www.pistolpay.com/Transaction/fhraffle. The "Donate Now" button will take you to PistolPay. Note, you will need to start a PistolPay account to proceed.

    For every $10 donated using the "Donate Now" button, you will get one entry for the prizes listed, below. You can donate any amount you wish; you will receive one entry to the drawing per $10 donation, e.g. you will receive two drawing entries with a $20 donation; three with a $30 donation, etc. Please note, there will be no limit to the amount of donations you can make and all of the money raised will go directly to the Fisher House Foundation, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit, and is tax deductible.

    Updates to the Project will also be announced on WEVO and akersc's Instagram (IG) page, @chivegoddess, so check in periodically. This Project will run until October 15, 2014. The prize winners will be determined using the website random.org and announced on this thread and @chivegoddess on IG after October 18, 2014.

    Once the prize distribution starts, winners will be given 48 hours to respond. Failure to respond will lead to the prize being passed to the next person. The prizes will be distributed in the order they are picked. We implore you not to hound akersc, Computalotapus, and/or the WEVO staff asking "where is my prize." If you won and exchanged contact with akersc, you will receive your prize.

    Legal considerations: for firearms, knives, and/or ITAR-restricted prizes, you must be a resident of the U.S. Non-U.S. residents will only be eligible for non-controlled prizes. We don't want to violate any ITAR restrictions. You must be legally able to own any firearm, knife, magazine, and/or ammunition pursuant to your local and/or state laws. We will not allow to be shipped any prize you cannot legally own. If you win a firearms prize, you will need to provide the name and address of your Federal Firearms Licensed dealer who will receive and transfer the firearm to you.

    The prizes to be drawn include:

    PRIZE #1 -AR15 Rifle – Donated by Four Guys Guns (VALUE: $3,950.00)

    Was not trying to mean that it was not a good cause, merely that the donors were very generous by throwing in some quality stuff.

    This was not aimed at you velocity2006. I think it's great that these vendors/individuals are giving away things to support the cause, and I can understand wanting to win them. However without sounding corny donations to our vets is a gift in itself, it should be done without the prospect of winning something. Sorry personal pet peeve.

    Not trying to take anything away from the Fisher House, so please donate to them first, but another GREAT charity is the WWP . I have a close friend who has been helped from the contributions of the WWP, so I also donate often to them.

    The wife has put countless hours into this project. She is the one that has done all the hard work talking to all the vendors to get the contributions for this fundraiser. We believe that Fisher House is a truly amazing foundation that goes above and beyond helping our troops and their families, they are true heroes to our Nation's heroes. We looked at other charities and felt that Fisher House lead the way with using 94.7% of the money actually being used for the cause. As a donor you have the responsibility to make sure that your money is doing the most for the people it is going to help. Use sites like http://www.charitynavigator.org/ and compare your charities to others and see how they are spending the money you donate to them. We feel that FHF has the cause as their main focus and the money is being used for the cause.

    If you can donate we greatly appreciate your donation if you can't we understand but please pass the fundraise information to as many people as you can, friends, family, local businesses, other forums you may be a member of. The more we get this out there the more we can raise to help support our troops and their families.
    Just a regular guy.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. This all started with the first Stickman giveaway when I won the Raptor. From there it grew to the Army Chief Fundraiser and now to this. I have had so many amazing people help me through this and have made some even more amazing friends. This industry right here knows how to take care of their own and make one feel like part of the family. John (RA) opened up his heart and arms to me and I am forever grateful. He offered up his team of remarkable individuals, including Uwone77. I had help from Triple Bravo and many many others. They will all always hold a spot in this girls heart and I hope one day to shake their hands. So if you can donate to this amazing charity that would be awesome, no donation is too small. Thank you all again and LETS GO MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN, for those who are most deserving. ~Christina a.k.a Mrs Compufabulous 😊

    I hope I'm not over stepping, but I sent this charity giveaway information to a couple of veterans who are YouTube personalities in the attempt to spread the word to their subs, and to a few companies I also know to be veteran run manufacturers/vendors. Computalotapus, Akersc and browcs are doing a noble thing here and I hope the hordes of people coming over from the Stick giveaway will all consider donations, however small.

    No way are you overstepping! I really appreciate all of your kind words and help. I hope we can get more people to donate and pass this on. This is such an amazing charity to give to. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. ☺️

    We had this problem last time ended up that people were not confirming their pistol pay account. Did you click the link in the email you received to confirm your pistol pay account?
