Introduction:

For the past two years I have run a drawing fundraiser to get Oregon teenager(s) to the Redemption National Tournament. The playgroup I run is mostly made up of teenagers and being located on the Oregon coast we are about as far as it gets in the United States from Nationals each year. Therefore it is hard for families to afford the cost of getting their teens to Nationals. The last two drawing fundraisers were a huge success. In 2023 we were able to bring three teenagers to Nationals from our playgroup. Last year we managed to bring two teenagers to Nationals. Thank you to all who donated the past two years!

The Drawing Fundraiser 2025 Edition Prize:

Our goal is to bring as many teens as we can to Redemption Nationals 2025 through a brand new drawing fundraiser.

This year I have a full set of the special Nationals promos from the 2024 Redemption National Tournament that will be the prize for the drawing. Here is a picture of that set:

How This Works:

Here is how the drawing will work: for every $20 you donate to the drawing fundraiser you will receive a ticket in the drawing. So if you donate $60 for instance you would receive 3 tickets in the drawing. When the fundraiser is ended we will do a drawing and reveal the sole winner of the prize. One winner will receive the entire prize lot.

You can make donations by sending them through PayPal via the friends and family option to: cchessbball[at]comcast[dot]net

I will update here the current status of the drawing fundraiser. Please note in the description for your donation if you want to be anonymous or have your name shared along with your donation amount.

Current amount raised: $810.

The Northwest Regional Tournament will be April 24-26 in Sun River, Oregon this year. Last year we had three special guests with Mr.Hiatus along with BaboonyTim and his brother joining us. We would be thrilled to have some more folks from outside our region join in this year as well. We are going to evenly split the costs of an AirBnB in Sun River and have the Thursday/Friday portion of the tournament there. Then on Saturday we will be at a public library in La Pine just a bit south from the AirBnB for the last part of the tournament. Closest airport is Redmond and then for possibly cheaper flights Portland/Eugene.

Cost for categories is as follows: Type 1-2P- Free. Type 2-2P- Free. TEAMS- Free. Booster Draft- $25. Sealed Deck- $7.50.

If you are interested in joining us for the tournament please send me a message.
