It would be hard for me to find quickly, but I believe a DRTV member posted a thread regarding Dale Hagberg wanting to get his friend Frank McDonald a Weatherby.. Dale was paralyzed from the neck down and made a very sincere video for his former hunting buddy Frank.
I believe alot of the DRTV members (myself included), linked over to the Weatherby contest site and voted.
WELL,...Over 6600 votes sealed the victory for Frank, just got an email from Weatherby.
Good job DRTV, I'm sure someone (maybe Weatherbyman?) has a follow up.
Here's what I received,..

The final tallies are in and we have our list of winners in the "Why I Want a Weatherby" Video Contest. Dale Hagberg's entry promoting his friend, Frank McDonald, was declared the Grand Prize winner based on garnering nearly 6,600 votes in the contest. As Hagberg is paralyzed and confined to a bed, his friend and former hunting partner McDonald will be the recipient of an expense-paid trip to Weatherby headquarters in Paso Robles, California where he will build his own custom rifle!
In all, more than 68,000 votes were cast in the "Why I Want a Weatherby" Video Contest by members of Weatherby Nation. We're very happy with the results and wish to thank everyone for their participation in this fun and exciting contest. We appreciate your support of Weatherby and Weatherby Nation.

It was a great idea to have the previous post so we could all vote for him. I'm glad he won.
