Want A Gameboy? A MP3 Player? You Could Win One

My 12 year old son has taken upon himself to raise $1,000 to help victims of the tsunamis. To do so he has arranged a raffle, he has gotten prizes donated, created raffle tickets on his computer, had them printed, and has enlisted friends to go door-to-door to help sell them. And so to assist him...
