INTRODUCING "AFTERGLOW"
 
RISER'S CALENDAR RAFFLE
TICKET SELLING UNDERWAY NOW

Fall has arrived and so too our Annual Calendar Raffle Fundraiser! This is our Club's largest fundraiser of the year with the proceeds supporting impactful projects such as My Book Day, STRIVE and the work of the Grants Committee.

Let's make it our best raffle yet!

We need your help! All Risers are asked to sell raffle tickets. Every Riser will be given 10 raffle tickets to sell  -  but we really need each of you to sell more! Over the next couple of weeks, you will receive your raffle tickets to sell, along with a general information sheet, seller information sheet, assigned tickets, and the list of people you sold to last year.  You will have roughly six weeks to sell tickets to friends, family and network contacts.
