Chance at a Autographed UK Basketball's and help 2 Anglers.....

As you know in a prior post last weekend there was an accident on the Ky River that involved 2 anglers.... The Kentucky River Bassmasters is having an auction for mike hall and rusty alexander the two injured in the accident... Well I thought all week of a way to help out with some fundraising opportunities and i had the greatest ideal...Since i was going to the UK football game today and i knew i was going to have the opportunity to hang out with coach calipari thru family connections i would get him to autograph 4 Nike UK basketballs... So a few of us at the cainpole got together this week and one person got basketballs donated and I got them autographed today by coach calipari. There will be raffle tickets available at the cainpole in richmond, backwaters in lexington, pittsburg marine in london, and lake cumberland outdoors in somerset... it is going to be 5 dollars for one ticket and 5 tickets for 20 dollars with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the two gentlemen injured in the boating accident.... I am going to try and have the raffle tickets in place by at the latest tuesday afternoon in all the locations.... 3 balls will be raffled off and one will be sold at the auction..... the raffle will last until the auction is held and then the names will be drawn..... I know that times are tough right now but every little bit can help and plus i think it would be awesome to have a coach cal autographed ball setting on my mantle knowing the money i paid to get it helped a fellow angler in need.....
If you have any questions about the auction or raffle tickets contact the Cain Pole at deleted or ryan oller at deleted... There will be full information also listed at the raffle locations....

Ryan,

Is there any locations in the Louisville area selling the raffle tickets? Also, is there a way to make a silent bid on the "auctioned" ball? I would be more than willing to provide the money, for my bid, upfront and you can return it if I do not win. Thanks man.

Rob

Is there anyway I can get some raffle tickets online? Very interested in helping out, and I want one of those balls. Please let me know.
