WANT TO HELP LURATICS? MAKE A DONATION HERE!
We're dedicated to the sport of coursing
Luratics is not a charitable organization but Pat's been running running it for 20 years this year. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to support this fun sport and now that our events are quite a bit smaller, funding is always an issue. If you'd like to help out or make a donation, here's our wish list:
*PHOTOGRAPHER. We really need some new photos from our events so a photographer is needed. Videos would be awesome. If you or someone you know is interested, contact Pat directly.
*EQUIPMENT. New items, maintenance, repairs, and replacement parts.
- Generator Cover to keep our new generator clean
- Onboard Voltmeter for the lure machine
*ONGOING FIXED COSTS. We only run from about May/June through November so during the off months there are still Luratics bills to pay:
-Insurance ($440/yr) and
-Website ($18/month)
Any help with these costs will be so helpful and greatly appreciated!
*EARTHDOG. At some point it would be fun to add Earthdog to our events. The equipment includes:
> Wooden plank liners for the tunnels: 5 connected tunnels made of 2x8x12' wooden planks (so 10 planks)
> Wooden dowels to make a barrier at the end to keep the rats safe
> Rats and their supplies
> Rat wrangler - a person who keeps and cares for the rats
*SUPPLIES.
- Squawker lures. I need someone to help make these. I have the rabbit calls but need help sewing them into the Skineez toys since my sewing machine broke.
Contact Pat directly if you can help with anything on our list. Or, if you'd like to just help out with a cash donation, click on the "Donate" button below.
All donations are greatly appreciated! Whatever amount you'd like to help out with will be put to good use and will help keep Luratics running for years more. Thank you for your help and kindness!
GoFundMe Campaign - Our fundraising campaign is now closed, as we reached our goal for the generator, 1st aid kit and some peripherals, but you can still access it to read about it and see how we did. I'll be able to update the donors there as we go along to show how the equipment is doing and to continue to say ‘thank you’ for their support.
