Could have been lots worse. Seems that there wasn't much planning, or commitment before he offed himself.

That will make it that much harder, along with his obvious mobility issues, to fit in with his peers and resume something approaching normal developmental progress. Then, there are the psychological issues that will likely linger for decades. It's heartbreaking.

FWIW, they are a private organization.
Henderson County youth league fires back at critics of its raffle of rifle
Thanks, dammit. When I was working at Mission they raffled a child's ATV. I emailed my objection because of child injuries. Pretty quickly the raffle was cancelled. They cited objections from one or more doctors and may not have even gotten around to reading my email. Nevertheless, I was proud to have done my part.
Up to you, but I think that as a former local now living in Highland Park your statement would be powerful.To: ehyfceagles@gmail.com

I'm sure you've heard all the arguments by now, so I won't bother rehashing them. However, I will mention that as an ER RN it's been my sad duty to try to clean up the messes caused by the toxic ammosexuality that you espouse, including caring for injured children.
Here's an article that made me cry, maybe it will have an impact on you:

I'm also distressed by the whiny tone of your response to critics. I don't detect even a trace of empathy or respect for contrary opinions. All I read is combativeness. Service orgs throughout the country and here in Henderson County manage to find the creativity to fundraise without resorting to tools of mass murder. I refuse to believe that you are so inept that you can't emulate them.
I sure won't be supporting EHYFC in any fashion as long as this is your annual travesty.
Be better,

. Guess you'll have to send your own. I could see if it was a one year flub that they've gotten snippy and defensive about, but this is their 3rd year!
Without knowing what specific gun they're raffling it would be hard to pick a value, but let's say it's around $1,000.
An FN 15 Patrol Carbine M-LOK, which has an AR-style magazine ...
11 mid-range trauma kits.For that amount, they could raffle:
Decent quality e-bike
Weekend at Grove Park Inn
Gatlinburg Getaway
Gift cards for gas or groceries
Mountain Glamping https://www.theglampingcollective.com/a ... luxe-dome/
It's especially sick this Buffalo/Uvalde/Highland Park summer.Or they could raffle a gun.
Assholes.

They could even do something patriotic and raffle one of the $25 gold coins from the mint.

They have a very limited online presence, nothing really updated. Can't even find a link to the "fundraiser".
Wonder if was by email only.

Looks like they really need it. If they had a prior one s/he sucked.We're currently taking applications for an official Fund Raiser.
It's weird that I'm not seeing the seller mentioned or thanked anywhere. It does look like something's blurred on the gun pic, maybe it's there.
I guess that's better than children 5-12 years old selling rifle raffle tix door-to-door, though I bet some kids are doing the selling. Would having a rifle raffle ticket in school violate "Zero Tolerance"? Pretty good advertising to have scores or hundreds of parents hawking your rifle.The FN 15, which has an AR-style magazine, is up for grabs through raffle tickets sold by parents of the athletes.

Even this gunhugger is a tad more circumspect than EHYFC:Rep. Mark Pless' reelection campaign raffle for guns raises eyebrows, concern for some
HAYWOOD COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — A conservative mountain representative's fundraising optics have stirred up controversy.
On Thursday, July 21, District 118 Republican Rep. Mark Pless posted to social media that he was offering up tickets for a gun raffle to help fund his campaign.
... The fundraiser comes as the nation continues to recover from the nearly 360 mass shootings that have taken place in the United States just this year.
“There’s a reason there’s not an AR [15] in there,” explained Pless, as he described the guns up for raffle....

ABC and Ron Filipkowski - wow. From MadCaw to this, Hooterville never makes national news for good things. One thing Ron MAY have gotten wrong is saying that the kids are selling the tickets. Your article:
Although, it wouldn't really surprise me if some kids are selling. I have not gotten a reply to my email. Funny that.The FN 15, which has an AR-style magazine, is up for grabs through raffle tickets sold by parents of the athletes.

Well, what do you expect when the current congressperson for Hendersonville is Madison Cawthorn… the kid who gets caught in airports with guns and knives.
And oh yea …. They want to keep preaching ‘Don’t take your kids to a drag show or have them learn that slavery was bad’
