More or less, yes.
In many cases, companies are interested in donating their product for raffle to raise awareness.
The Mercedes-Benz is a bigger deal. We've worked with a local dealer, and he's passing along a car to us at cost. We need to pay for the car, and then we keep all profit on top that. This won't work for all areas, it's a big risk, and a big investment. But, if the raffle goes as we expect it to, we stand to make money that rivals the funding of some corporate giants.
Money isn't everything, though. Sometimes, a good engineer is worth
two Mercedes Benz's.
