It's never a good time to ask for money but It has to be done .
We've been fortunate to always receive enough donations to put on contests and be able to cover the costs but right now our Car-Toons PayPal account only has $7.56 in it . So we need your help !
You should know that all donations received are used to pay shipping costs , and to buy a prize whenever I come across a good deal . I've gone back through my receipts and since we started holding contests three years ago I've spent $280 on shipping charges . As for the prizes , some I bought but most of them were donated by our members . There are other costs too , including boxes and packing materials , printer ink , and my time .
There's already been ideas tossed around for another contest , and we will have one soon ! Some may say that prizes aren't necessary , but I think that they are . They add some incentive to a contest and that just adds to the fun !
So please help and donate to our fund today . And if you have duplicates of a Toon kit and can spare one send me a PM for a mailing address .
You can donate to our Paypal account : car-toons@tampabay.rr.com
Any amount from $10 to $25 is fine .
Thank you !

By the way , all donations are kept confidential and there is never any preferential treatment given to anyone regardless if they donate or not .
I'm always on the hunt for cheap kits to add to the prize pool and I found this Bad Boy last week at the LHS .
It's opened but sealed inside and I got it for $12 bucks !!
