What Do Y'all Think
 

I have a question for everyone fishing the tourney.
By a vote ,Yes or No,
What would y'all say to donating ALL entry fees to the Childrens Brain Tumor Research Foundation.
Winners would still get nice prizes and BRAGGING RIGHTS. (which on this site means more than GOLD).
I was told that if the majority says yes that we could do this.
I'm not trying to start trouble or to make anyone mad but this is supposed to be a charity tourney so lets give the cash to the charity.

Please cast your vote
If for any reason you don't want your vote public please pm it to the powers that be.
Or, would it be better to do in poll form???
If a poll is the way to go could someone in athority please make it so .
Thanks . Bob

I'm not fishing, but if I was, I would not have a problem with the proceeds going to charity. Charity is charity. Prizes should be rods, reels, lures, etc. It's for a good cause, so let the money go to it. My .02.

I'm not fishing to win so don't matter to me I just want to have good time and support good cause so I guess yes..... But I also think we should do whatever makes the most for the charity by the best turnout

Where is the poll.

I'd vote yes.

YES

Im for both....So what ever yall want to do

Poll results mean nothin' here. :smokin:

Ohhhhhhh yeah you right, I forgot.

But then again, we have a couple reputable people in control of this thing not some reprobate.:eek:

thanks bender, we run this show

I am in it for the kids.....as long as they profit then I am ok with the decision.

I agree with giving all proceeds to the fund

I also agree to donate all the money for the fund..

i hve no problem with that give da money to the kids !

donate it to the kids.

i have givin this some thought . i would say givee all the money to charity, but this tourney was originally set up as a 50/50 split so with it being advertised as that i could see some gettin upset over no prize pot . i think we should keep it thesame as it was but encourage money winners to donate the cash to the kids brain tumor research fund. idk just saying if something was advertised as 1 thing then changed at the last min. that could rub people the wrong way . regardless it i win money i will donate it to shads fund

This is true......That was my deal.......I say if the winners want to dontate there winning they will have that option to do so....

BINGO we ahve a winner...Thi TOURNEY was orginally set for us to MEET AND GREET and give 50% to charity (because we're just nice like that)

I agree. If I win(hahaha), my share stays in the charity pot.

How about a donation box at the entry or weigh in table. Maybe auction some of the items that will be donated by sponcers.

Those are great ideas. At the Together for Tipper fundraiser that I was a part of, we put jars out for "Tips for Tipper". That picked up alot of extra moneyjust by people putting a couple dollars here and there. Also, an auction is the best way to raise money and you can raise a helluva alot!

thats my personal stand on this issue!!!!! if the winners wanna pocket the winnings,so be it. if they prefer ta donate the funds, so be it. thats all i hafta say on this matter anymore

thank you mr. president:p:p

lmao!! easy son, i dont like ta put my foot down, but i have heard enuff concernin this matter. thanks to all:p

If i win(no chance) I would be cool with donating. But if you wanted to have another fund raising tourney down the road some people that signed up under the original rules this time may not sign up next time.

i don't have a problem with donating the money, i think it would help the kids more than it would help us, just my 2 cents

Yea u right
 

That's a better idea. I realise that some may not want to fish if we change the rules CBTRF has my winnings if the planets line up and hell freezes over and i win some $$$.

glad yall understand..


i know 2 handfulls of ppl who wouldn't fish the tourney if they didn't benefeit from it...:pissed:

Yes I would say donate all the money but you may hurt the turnout without prize money and endup donating less

yep, ur right

I would need more help than that EMAN..lol

good time is all I want out of this tournament! Thats all I expect anyway!

I say give it to the kids.........unless I win of course!!

Some folks might want the money for other reasons. Some folks might like to walk away with it and donate it to a charity of their choice.

May the games begin!

like said above.. i'm not expecting to win either lol but it would still be nice if we had prizes for the winners

give all monies to the charity!!

All anyone on this site wants is braggin rights anyway. IMO, you can't really hold a tourney saying it is for charity, and not give them all the money.
