Happy New Year!! With the holidays now past and the New Year in full stride I hope this update finds you all well. Both the website and the Facebook page for the RaiderMobile continue to receive traffic daily. Fundraising continues and we have currently raised $10,849.00 to date. With this update, I am proud to announce we have been approved by the Bremont Watch Company a luxury aviation-themed British watchmaker based in England, to raffle off a limited-edition KC-130J inspired custom made watch. This watch will be the first of our fundraisers for 2018 in support of the cars fundraising and restoration. The retail value of the watch is over $6900.00. We have tickets for sale at $50.00 each. 100% of the proceeds will go to the fundraising effort for the cars restoration. The winning name will be drawn live at the VMGR-352 “El Toro” Raider Reunion planned for October 5-6 2018, as well as broadcast Live on “The RaiderMobile Foundation” Facebook page. The winner will have their choice of the “Black and Silver” Raider inspired version or the Stainless Steel version for a more everyday wear.
