I'd be willing to contribute. But instead of lining the pockets of someone profiting from the raffle, lets either give the family or the fund the cash. While the ghost bike would be nice for the family to have, I'd imagine the success of the fund is probably more important and the family gets more sentimental value from the bikes Brett rode.
