FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT 4-H –
We Need YOUR Help!
We Need YOUR Help!
Fundraising helps
us to offer scholarships to leadership events for teens, defers the cost of the
4-H Public Presentation t-shirt for all youth who participate, helps offset the
cost of 4-H dues for low resource families and helps with the purchase of 4-H program materials. This year we are
trying something new and we need your help to make it successful.
Beginning in
February, we will start procuring items (around $20-$50 value) for a calendar
raffle in October. What is a calendar raffle, you ask. Well, it’s
an opportunity for 4-H to raise funds by getting cool raffle items for every
day of the month of October and selling raffle tickets to support it.
After we have secured at least 31 items, we’ll start selling raffle tickets for
the raffle to be held every day during the month of October. People can
buy chances to win every day for an entire month.
Let’s kick off our new 4-H year with
the most successful fundraiser we’ve ever done to benefit Warren County
4-H.
Please consider donating an item (gift
certificates, baskets, items, or even cash) so that we can fill our October
calendar with great prizes to win and support local 4-H’ers. Donations
may either be mailed to our office, dropped off at the Warrensburg location or
we can come pick up any donation at your convenience. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (518) 623-3291/668-4881 or
email to rmw38@cornell.edu
How
can you help as a 4-H family, member, or club?
One
way is to ask a local business to help support the fundraiser by donating a
gift certificate, cash, basket, or item to be raffled off on one day during
October. OR could your family or club donate cash so that one of the days
the raffle item is cash? After we’ve
secured at least 31 items (or more!), we’ll YOUR help selling raffle tickets to
your friends, neighbors, teachers, anyone who wants a chance to win a great
prize while supporting 4-H – so look for that soon!
On behalf of the 4-H Youth Development Team and the 4-H’ers in Warren
County, thank you for taking the time to consider supporting our new
fundraising event.
