2020 Summer Raffles- International Winners + Knight Errant from Duncan's Personal Collection


There are some very amazing raffles going on right now and I wanted to shine the light on just how international the winners are for the NOCF raffles. Also while I have many favorites of the collections offered, the one by Duncan Rhodes this year is simply amazing.

Note from Duncan
Reynald is from Duncan Rhodes' personal collection. He shared the following, "This model is a Knight Errant from my House Griffith Imperial Knights army. He has fought in many battles and has served me well - may his glory and renown continue in the hands of a worthy commander! But more importantly, I hope that this model is able to raise funds in support of Breast Cancer Research, for which my family will always be grateful.

Raffle Rules
As I have been involved with NOCF for years now (for transparency; I have been a board member of the charity the last 4 years I think), I have seen first hand just how the organization works and its quite an amazing feat of coordination and number of hours put in to make this organization work. I want to show off the rules for the Summer Raffles. Also to note that while .90 cents of every dollar makes it to the charity its often higher as we work hard to minimize our fees (mostly shipping and paypal)

Oh yea, if you win we are shipping your miniatures to you! As long as you have a shippable address we will get the winners their army/miniature.

  • Direct donations to NOCF are tax deductible, but confirm this with your accountant.
  • Raffle donation structure:
    • .90 cents of every $1 raised will go directly to the nonprofit cause as designated by each raffle
    • Approximately .07 cents of every $1 raised will be used to support the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation overhead, administrative costs, and shipping fees
    • Approximately .03 cents of every $1 raised will be used to cover Paypal fees and tax reporting
       
  • The minimum purchase must be $10. This minimum ensures that the maximum percentage of each ticket purchased will benefit the designated charitable cause.
  • Ticket purchases, though supporting nonprofit charitable causes as outlined above, are not tax deductible.
  • The buyer’s name will be entered into the raffle once for every ticket purchased. The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation will use an accurate, independently-developed electronic randomizer to select the winners.
  • The final drawings for each raffle will be listed on the raffle item page.
  • Winners need not be present to win. NOCF will ship to a deliverable address anywhere in the world.
  • Sales will continue onsite until the dates and times listed on each raffle item page.
  • Onsite ticket sales may occur at convention sites.
  • Winners’ names (plus city/state/country) will be posted on the home page of the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation (novaopenfoundation.org) no later than seven (7) days after the drawings.
  • NOCF will email winners using the email address noted in the Paypal account; an item will ship only after confirmation of mailing address is received by NOCF.
  • Armies will be packaged and shipped with tracking information provided to the winners.
  • Members of the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation Board of Directors and the NOVA Open Executive Board, are ineligible to win.
  • NOCF artists are eligible to win any item other than those they worked on.
  • There is no maximum ticket purchase. No percentage chance of winning can be calculated unless ticket limits are noted on the item page. Ticket purchase does not guarantee win.
  • All ticket sales are final and there are no refunds
