The post below was taken from the
AV123 ForumJuly 4th Raffle and a Personal Message from mlsGood Morning… and Happy 4th to all of you. Wish I could be home basking in the joy and happiness that we all share in on this day.
I’m still here in Cali – but thinking about all of you in a very real and most wonderful way. I’ve decided today that I would start a Raffle in celebration of our joy – and the wonderful goodness our people can bring to those in GREAT NEED and despair. Only in America where we are truly The Land of Plenty can we do these things… I’m proud of you – and so very proud of our country. Also, there is some sorrow that I'm sharing today (see below) and I would like each of us to do what we can to help...
Today I’ve decided to Raffle two systems. They are the following…
RS1K ~ RSC 200 ~ RSS300 in our sensational RosewoodThis system we will raffle off at 150 tickets @ $50 each. This will be called Raffle #9…
As well, we will start a second Raffle for the 4th of July with the following…
RS760 ~ RSC 200 ~ RSS300 - also in our beautiful RosewoodThis system we will raffle off at 150 tickets @ $35 dollars each. This will be called Raffle #10…
We can easily track your contributions based on the amount of tickets you purchase (multiples of $50 dollars or $35 dollars) so please do not worry… Sean can and will take care of all of this…

Now for the personal part of this message…
This industry is filled with really remarkable people – people of great strength and conviction – and people that flat out CARE. I have a dear friend that I have grown to really respect and admire that happens to be the President of a competing company.
As many of you have read before – David Fabrikant is a man whose products I most sincerely respect – but more than that – I flat out love this guy. Sure we compete each and every day – but more than that – we have learned to live with one another in a way only GREAT Competitors can. David is my friend, and I know that he is aching more than a little bit about a very personal situation that has pervaded his life…
Cancer is ugly… Cancer is horrible… and Cancer affects lives in a very real way… IF David chooses to say more here he can – but David is also a very private and honestly soft-spoken man. I mentioned to him that we would do this Raffle for his family member that has been stricken with Cancer – and should he decide to say more here he will – but if not – PLEASE respect his privacy. PLEASE… do this for me…
Therefore… I will take the proceeds of these Raffles and deliver 50% to The Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in David’s family’s name – and the other 50% I would like to continue our work in Khabarovsk, Russia for the Orphan’s. These monies will be used directly for medicines that are desperately needed…
The Sloan Kettering information can be found here
http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/65977.cfmAs well… the winners of these Raffles will be treated to an MFW-15 subwoofer once shipments begin in September. In each case we will donate $1000 dollars to the same Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in David’s family’s name.
Long Live The United States of America – and to our friends – long live the lives of the ones we love the most…
To my dear friend David Fabrikant… May you and yours have peace and comfort on this day – and may you enjoy the lives of your dear ones no matter the pain and suffering you are feeling watching this Cancer hurt the ones you love…
With deepest respect,
Mark
