All, need some help on a good thought I have in mind - before I change my mind .
I am getting the arachnid wheels due to 3 referrals. I didn't have to do much - the car is that good. So what Tesla is giving me as a thank you, I want to pay it forward.
I am getting trained to run a marathon and raise funds for Vibha, a non-profit org in silicon valley helping children to better education in India. It is a 20+yr old org and I believe in their work.
So I thought of the following for the wheels:
(1) keep the wheels for my car, enjoy the drive, and show off
(2) sell the wheels ($3K likely) and use corporate matching to get $6K to Vibha
(3) Raffle the wheels and raise (hopefully) more than $6K to Vibha.
Raffle rules (initial thoughts): Donate $50 to Vibha. You will be entered to win the wheels. The entrants will be listed in a google docs so everyone can see the transparency around this.
A lucky winner (need ideas on how best to pick a winner, random # generation, facebook live stream the raffle , tweet Elon to pick a winner - lol) will be shipped the wheels. To keep shipping complexity minimal, raffle can be US contiguous states only.
Thoughts, please? Any legal issues anywhere? Don't want to get into trouble for trying to do something good. Do you think I can raise more money doing the raffle, than, just doing a sell & corporate match (~$6K)? Would love to hear your responses and also to fill the poll.
Cheers
