Rich, Holli and Skylar Smithson, owners and manufacturers of Helvie Knives  are passionate about the Kokomo Humane Society and have created a “One of a Kind” knife collection as a prize for a raffle fund raiser. The photographs and written description invites all who would like to participate in this fund raiser by purchasing a raffle ticket.

HELVIE KNIVES PROUDLY PRESENTS:

 A fundraiser for the Kokomo Humane Society of a “ONE OF A KIND” woodcarving knife collection!  This collection of knives will be raffled off at the Eastern Woodland Carvers July Show in Converse, IN on July 20-21, 2013.  (If you are not attending the show but would like to participate, please contact us at 765-675-8811 or zen@tiptontel.com)

The photographs and written description invites all who would like to participate in this fund raiser by purchasing a raffle ticket.  The cost of the tickets are $1 for 1 and $5 for 6 tickets there is no limit and Helvie Knives will take a picture of the tickets being filled out and put in the tub. They are dual tickets and Holli will send the “Keep this Coupon” portion of the ticket back to each purchaser. If anyone is interested they can send a check or money order to Helvie Knives, PO Box 145, Tipton, IN 46072.

The collection will consist of 10 total knives from our Signature Series  collections.  All knives have been personally autographed by these renowned and respected carvers featuring their respective blades and designed handles just for this event.

We could not be more pleased that the fine carvers that have endorsed our knives are helping to raise funds for our local homeless pets.  Their names deserve recognition, CCA Members: Gerald Sears, Chris Hammack, Floyd Rhadigan, Don Mertz, Tom Brown, Rich Wetherbee, Bruce Henn, as well as Mark Akers, Randy True and Steve Brown.  Other recognition needs to go to Tom Kallner for donating the wood to make the display box the knives will come in and Steve Lhamon for donating his time to handcraft the display box.

If you are interested in making a donation straight to the Kokomo Humane Society they are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.  They can be reached at 765-452-6224 or their website http://www.kokomohumane.org. They have a “wish list” posted on their website of supplies they always need.  If you are looking for your next “best friend” to add to your family, please consider adopting a homeless pet, if not from the Kokomo Humane Society, then from a local shelter near you.

Thank you to everyone for your kind generosity!

Sincerely,  Rich & Holli Smithson/Helvie Knives
