The doctor's acted fast, getting her in for her first round of chemo later that afternoon. Update - 7 June Aside from her twice a week chemo treatments, Em ended up back in the hospital yesterday with a fever. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers! http://storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-12904684/images/5752ec41c6202fdkxBxL/JoeEm.jpg A friend of the family set up a GoFundMe, https://www.gofundme.com/27dahz7b. Update - 8 June Shirts are available through a Blue Cotton campaign. The campaign ends on July 8th and you should receive your shirts about 10 days after that. http://www.bluecotton.com/campaigns/emily http://www.bluecotton.com/thumbnailGetCampaign.cgi?filename=783-proof.jpg&session=761/3822-68AA5&e=1 Cola Warrior will be holding a raffle to help support Joe, his wife, Stacey, Emily, and her older brother, Ben. The grand prize in the CWAR Against Cancer Raffle will be a CWAR. There will be other prizes, possibly other complete rifles, lots of gear and parts. We've got parts coming in from numerous Cola Warriors and several of our sponsors, to include: AIM Surplus ALG Defense Arisaka Defense Arson Machine Co. Ballistic Advantage Bobro Engineering CherryBalmz ESSTAC Forward Control Designs Geissele Automatics Lucky Gunner Magpul MOA Targets Sonic Boom Exploding Targets Update - 8 June Tickets can be purchased through PayPal. Include your preferred contact method in the notes. Also note how many tickets you'd like of each tier. If you submit $50 but don't tell me that you wanted 5 Tier 2 tickets, you're getting 2 Tier 1 tickets. This paypal address was set up specifically for this fundraiser, so all you really need to include in the notes is the information above. Don't mention anything about guns, AR15.com, r/guns, etc. PayPal address for tickets is [email protected] There will be tiered tickets, Tier 1 will be $25. Tier 2 will be $10. Tier 2 prizes will be parts, gear, swag, etc. There will be some nice stuff here, triggers, rails, things like that. I'll be posting pics as stuff comes in. Tier 1 will be the big stuff. There will be at least 1 complete CWAR, highly likely there will be a few other rifles though they may not meet CWAR spec. There's also a Coonan .357. Highly likely there will be some other packages as well, maybe complete uppers, gear setups, stuff like that. A Tier 2 ticket gets you entered into the drawings for the Tier 2 stuff. A Tier 1 ticket gets you entered into both pools. Ticket sales end July 15th. Drawing will be tentatively on July 16th, might end up being a bit later. First up we'll draw winners for all of the Tier 2 prizes. Once Tier 2 drawings are complete, all Tier 1 tickets will be placed back in the pool and drawings will be held for Tier 1 prizes. Yes, Tier 1 tickets could possibly win twice. All firearms will have to go to an FFL of the winner's choosing. We will cover shipping costs. Transfer fees are the responsibility of the winner. For deployed military/international travelers, should you win something we will hold it for you until your return if you so choose. Or we can ship it to someone you trust. Obviously most of this stuff is going to be ITAR regulated, so no, we won't be shipping anything out of country. For those of you in ban states, we'll work with you to make it work somehow. *Striker approved If people have stuff they want to donate, is: AR/AK mags, ammo, parts ect. What's the best contact method? Thanks, let's get this beautiful family some breathing room and less worries |

In. Can't think of a better $25 I've spent recently. buckshot _ jim challenge accepted As a father, I can't imagine what you are going through. Your family has my prayers, and I am not a religious person. |

Get well soon Emily.
If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

shirts purchased for my entire family. My woman was just floored with how awesome everyone was when she came to Classic. And she can't stop talking about how everyone has come together like this.
Raffle tickets have been purchased as well. Emily is in our prayers. |
