So what do we know about Racing4vets?

Is it a recognized (tax deductible) charity?

What percentage makes it to the veterans in need?

[CaptRon 19]

Found the answer to my own question, Count me in!!

Support service-disabled veterans by donating to our team! Racing4Vets is a 501©(3) tax-exempt nonprofit and all donations go directly to supporting our veterans motorsports programs.

Suggested Amounts
If you donate any amount below (or more) you will receive the gift package listed for that amount to honor your commitment to our injured veterans.

How Will My Money Be Used?
Your donation will be used to pay for skill development courses, tools and materials, racing vehicles, safety equipment, travel to motorsports events, learning how the motorsports business operates, and making industry connections. This is a structured program that teams injured veterans with coaches, provides an opportunity to race, work experience, required tools and equipment, and introduces them to potential employers in the industry. Veterans learn about the motorsports business, obtain invaluable contacts to further their careers, and build pride and self esteem that helps them live successful civilian lives.

I'm happy with our choice of charity this year. We've had good feedback from them and interest in our event helping them out.

As for the firearm, I had a few conversations with OilStrike about how to handle that. I was advised by our legal folks that ChallengerFest, LLC should not be the middle man on a fire arm transfer and to let that be between the current owner and the winner of the raffle and then OilStrike could donate the proceeds to the charity through CF, LLC. I discussed this with OilStrike and hope he brings it with him to CF4 but I have not heard 100% on that.
