yes i got that info from UCP , here is the e-mail i received it's slightly different .


Thank you for purchasing a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 2006 customized Toyota Scion. The Scion Raffle was a partnership between United Cerebral Palsy of Dallas and Fowler Scion of Dallas to raise funds for services for children and adults with disabilities. These funds would come from the monies raised above the cost of the 2006 Scion that was the raffle prize. Unfortunately, we have not sold enough raffle tickets to cover the cost of purchasing the car and state law prohibits us from extending the raffle any longer. We see no alternative but to cancel the raffle effective June 14, 2006.



Because the raffle is canceled, we are offering to return the cost of your tickets to you. If you would like to donate these funds to UCP, your gift will qualify as a fully tax deductible donation that will benefit children and adults with disabilities. UCP uses donations to provide programs for children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.



We appreciate your support of our programs and your interest in UCP. Please let us know by July 7, 2006 whether you would prefer to have your raffle ticket purchase price refunded or if you will donate these funds to UCP. Let us know your preference by doing one of the following:

· call Elizabeth at 214/351-2500 ext. 253,

· write us at: UCP, Attn: Elizabeth, 8802 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75235-1716

· send an email to Scion@ucpdallas.org.

To help us with this process, please provide us with your full name and address when you respond.



Once again, we want to express our appreciation to Fowler Scion of Dallas for their wonderful support of our efforts to help people with disabilities.



Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience the raffle cancellation may have caused.

Life without limits for people with disabilities

 

That does suck...

My question is, how much did they get? How much did they need???

I thought the Raffle ended the 21st of this month? They couldn't rally to get last minute ticket sales???

I may have the wrong info here and if I do, I appologize... just trying to understand.
