In case anyone is wondering why the admin is allowed to bid on this it is because ALL proceeds will go to the wounded warrior project. There will be no profit or benefit to the staff of RaptorSource. When this is complete I will be posting or donation confirmation for all to see.

a little info about Wounded Warrior Project...
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) was founded on the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens. The WWP seeks to assist those men and women of our armed forces who have been severely injured during the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world. Many of the injuries are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds, burns, and blast injuries that will retire these brave warriors from military service.
From the battlefield to their bedside, WWP is there to meet the needs of our wounded heroes:
We provide them with unique programs and services.
We raise awareness and enlist public support.
We provide a means for veterans to help each other.
Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need.
One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades.
The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors."

I'm damn proud of FireRaptor and all of Raptorsource, there is nothing more important to me than taking care of the ones who protect us.

I want to give a big thanks to Fire Raptor, Raptor Source, and Racers Edge for allowing this to happen. I feel extremely lucky to have been able to step in and play the Price is Right at the last minute, but it is such a good thing knowing that the funds are going to a great thing like the Wounded Warrior Project. :thumbs:

Thanks to everyone for their participation.

Thank you Raptor Source, Racers Edge and all of the members that bid on the build. NaturalRaptor you played it cool right up to the end. Maybe you have a future in Texas Holdem. Any way this donation comes at a time when not many are able to give so I am sure it will help some fine young Americans with their recovery. It was my Honor to be part of this and big time fun watching it progress. It always strikes me as strange how we are from all areas of the nation but form a bond due to our ATV interest. So the members of this forum thru their love of ATV,s have come together and done a good thing . Be proud. FR.

I have to agree with you on this one. Loosing a bid by a buck really sucks!

I feel your pain i kept watching until it closed. I was waiting for you two to get into a 1$ bidding battle until midnight. Hey thanks for your participation and maybe you will win the drawing one of these months and get that build or somthing really cool for your Quad. FR.

I'm really bummed there wasn't a bidding war :(
-
Hey it,s all good. These are tough times to ask folks to spend big chunks of money for non essential items. Well this is essential to some guys. Maybe somthing like this could become a annual event? Good PR and do a great thing.

True dat.
That would be cool.
