50/50 Drawing for the Larry Wardenburg Benefit

SOLD OUT!

The 50/50 drawing tickets are now available for anyone wanting to support the Larry Wardenburg Benefit (AKA "The Flushing Zebra Bash") on August 16th. 



Make a donation and you could win $5000!

Here's how it works:

  1. Make a $100 donation to the benefit for the 50/50 drawing (you don't have to be local to Lake of the Ozarks ... you can be anywhere!)
  2. You will receive a ticket entry into the drawing.  If you order online, we will mail you your ticket and also send you an email confirmation that we received the donation for the benefit.
  3. Only 100 tickets will be available. If all 100 tickets are issued, the 50/50 pot will total $10,000.
  4. The drawing will be held the night of the event, August 16th at Bootleggers.
  5. You do not need to be present to win.
  6. Winner will receive 50% of the total pot, and 50% will go to the benefit for Larry's Carcinoid treatment. Winner will receive up to $5000, assuming all tickets are issued. If all 100 tickets are not issued, the total pot will be split 50% to winner and 50% to benefit.

One more step to Basel

We have the hotel reservations booked in Basel, Switzerland and also our airline reservations booked from Kansas City, to Minnesota, to Amsterdam, to Basel approximately 15 hours travel time. 

The hotel cost for the stay is $1007US  for the 7 days we will be there.  The Delta air fare is $1348 per person round trip, total $2696.00US both of these rates vary somewhat depending on what dates you need to book.

On my last post I said the treatment was around $10,000US, the final # is $9613.00US.
 
FYI for anyone planning the Basel trip for treatment, I am very confident that it's one of the best ways to go and the over all costs are still lower than any Connie and I have found in the USA.  The planning and info gathering is a little more time consuming and somewhat of a task for anyone that hasn't traveled abroad so maybe this blog info will be of help.

The next thing we are looking into is cell phone service and power conversion for items from cell phones and notebooks to shavers and hair dryers/curlers, I'll keep you posted.

Once again, many thanks to all those that have been so supportive to Connie and I through this journey.
