I wanted to put this out there so everyone is aware of what is happening regarding this fundraiser. To avoid potential tax liability we have redirected donations to Bret’s Paypal.  So all donations are going directly to the freitas  family at this point. I will get periodic updates from Bret on how then campaign is going. We already have another Paypal lined up if needs to direct donations.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words and your donations and support.

It takes a village

Thanks for Setting this up James.  Best wishes to Brett and Family. The Santa Rosa Fires were bad but this one is Horrific.

We have about a week in a half left before we raffle off the newly designed 2019 Hobie Outback in Camo. Who wouldn’t want one of these in their fleet??? If my chance you don’t win the Hobie Outback we are also giving away to a lucky winner a Feather Raft, Yak Attack Leverage Lansing Net, & a Yak Attack Omega Pro rod holder. So there’s more than one chance to win, while helping out a family who had minutes to gather a few b Kong’s and get to safety before losing everything they owned.

Here’s how. If you’d like to enter for a chance to win a 2019 Camo Hobie Outback plus shipping and help the Freitas family out we will be accepting donation of $20.00 per entry. This will be done through www.PayPal.com bretfreitas@gmail.com **FRIENDS AND FAMILY** When submitting your donation **DO NOT PUT RAFFLE IN COMMENTS**. Please just put Freitas Family in the comments. I will be updating totals from the donations frequently. If you can’t or don’t use PayPal let me know and I will work with you for other options. Venmo, check, etc...

On December 9, 2018 at 12:00pm we will stop all donations so we have a chance to organize everyone’s entries. The drawing for this will be December 10, 2018 at 5:00-5:30pm we will do a FB Live for the drawing here at Adventure Sports in Citrus Heights, Ca. Once the winners are drawn we will work on contacting you to arrange pick up or delivery.

Here’s an update on the situation regarding the Freitas family and the fundraiser.

My Wife and I were able to spend some time with Christina, Jack Jack, & Bret a little over a week ago. We met up at Crooked Lane Brewery and enjoyed a beer while hearing about all they had been through. They are doing their best to navigate the insurance and FEMA obstacle course. But they are keeping their spirits up and making the best of the situation. Being all the lodging anywhere near where they lived/work is full they are staying at a hotel in Roseville. It could be worse but it’s not home.

On a good note Bret finally got to go back to work at Butte College in Chico so he’s got himself a novel little commute going on. But trust me when I tell you he is happy to have this problem.

To date we have raised a grand total of $9,620 for the Freitas family. With the size of this community I know we can take it to the next level for this family.

One last thing. I am sorry if I blew up your notifications. Just trying to get the word out. I can use EVERYONE’s help getting the word out.

I am right there with you. But you should know this is much bigger than NCKA. I am getting donations from all across America and even Canada.

ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT

Good morning NCKA Family , we are two days away from shutting down all donations for the Freitas family and a chance to win the newly designed 2019 Hobie Outback in Camo. Who wouldn’t want one of these in their fleet??? If my chance you don’t win the Hobie Outback we are also giving away to a lucky winner a Feather Raft, Yak Attack Leverage Lansing Net, & a Yak Attack Omega Pro rod holder. So there’s more than one chance to win, while helping out a family who had minutes to gather a few belongings and get to safety before losing everything they owned in the Camp Fire.

Here’s how. If you’d like to enter for a chance to win a 2019 Camo Hobie Outback plus shipping and help the Freitas family out we will be accepting donation of $20.00 per entry (please only make one transaction for total amount). This will be done through www.PayPal.com bretfreitas@gmail.com **FRIENDS AND FAMILY** When submitting your donation **DO NOT PUT RAFFLE IN COMMENTS**. Please just put Freitas Family in the comments. I will be updating totals from the donations frequently. If you can’t or don’t use PayPal let me know and I will work with you for other options. Venmo, check, etc...

On December 9, 2018 at 12:00pm we will stop all donations so we have a chance to organize everyone’s entries.

Once the winners are drawn we will work on contacting you to arrange pick up or delivery.

Here’s an update on the situation regarding the Freitas family and the fundraiser.

The Freitas family was able to get into the the restricted burn area to take a look at what’s left from the Camp Fire that destroyed their home. Not a lot was left but they are doing their best to stay positive. They did find a few belongings that happened to survive the fire. I personally couldn’t imaging losing everything.

On a positive note Bret is back at work and Jack Jack will be starting school again next week.

To date the total amount in donations is $11,050. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far, this is truly amazing. I’m hoping that we see a spike to finish off this campaign and help out the Freitas family to financially get through this disaster. 

One last thing. I am sorry if I blew up your notifications. Just trying to get the word out. I can use EVERYONE’s help getting the word out.
