Getting folks to donate money for someone else to have a great party, probably not going to happen. Getting us to donate to see videos of specific individuals getting the ice bucket, well that's far more realistic... Mike | | | Re: Florida 300 +

Naples, FL | instead of ice bucket (yawn), do a video of them twirling around the rum keg and then trying to race off through an obstacle course AT THE AWARDS PARTY. Nothing dangerous.. just run or hurdle some inflatable marks, pool toys, hanging rafts, etc. That's much more Youtube worthy  and it MUST BE POSTED (keep the course under 1 minute and make sure they have to do a LOT of twirling first - don't ask me how i know this... please). Set up a fund for each "victim" or team entry in the 300+ event. The team who ends up with the most donation $ has to "run the gauntlet" (of course, all monies collected go to the event, regardless of who 'wins' and has to run the course). So, Brett will tell all his folk to 'donate' to Ding's bucket (so he has to run) and vice versa. If the fund balances are posted regularly, the front-runner is motivated to get his/her fan base to contribute to someone else so they don't have to "win".... Kind of like reverse psychology?

Naples, FL | You could always do Rum Skull Funnels then attempt the course. Skull Funnel If someone could make an ice sculpture/casting of that thing, it would be way cooler for the rum funnel. And is anyone going to set up a gofundme account to make Dave do the obstacle course? I've got a few bucks waiting.

Isn't being crew punishment enough? I'm sure it was something I said and I probably deserve it but damn dude I'm old I could break a hip.

Portland, Maine | This is great, I love the new ideas rolling in, keep throwing out some suggestions, then we can implement some. Host a hoverboard jousting tournament between the ground crews and allow betting on the matches. House takes a percentage of the proceeds in the name of "charity" of course. | | | Re: Florida 300 +

Perfect! This actually works. We raised a ton of money for a food pantry by running Penny Wars, which works on this idea (highest amount raised loses). Mike | | | Re: Florida 300 +

Naples, FL | Google says a ton of pennies is 366,000, so that's about $3,660. Nice work!

Clermont, FL, USA | If you're on the fence about the Florida 300 then hopefully this will be the push you need. The word on the street is this year's 300 is going to be off the chain. The Ocean Deck party in Daytona is going to be worth the price of admission alone. The Florida 300 is inking the last of its sponsorship and a full press release is coming soon. Time is getting short so if you're going to join us now is the time to get your ducks in a row.
