We Need Your Help!Last year, our raffle generated more profit than the admission fees from the cars and the general public guests put together. And it came from volunteers who went out to their local pizza shop; diner; nail salon; service station; restaurant and bar; grocery store; art studio; gym; bagel shop. In increments of $25; $30; $50 - and sometimes more than $100, but not always - these efforts gave us the impetus to be there for those thousands of neighbors who needed us. We're a bit behind in this part of our efforts - WE NEED YOUR HELP to give one more effort to turn in a gift certficate; a gift card; a financial donation. But particularly a retail certificate that we can add to the raffle. Would you stop in at those places that YOU know ? Stop in some of those restaurants on City Island or Main Street/New Rochelle has many retail opportunities; Mt. Vernon is virtually unvisited; so many opportunities! And finally - if you can't solicit donations or don't feel you're able to do so - would you contribute some gift cards personally? Visa/MC, AMEX, Amazon - etc - those make great raffle items. Please speak to Carla Carroll or Carol Ipsen if you have any questions or if your have procurred any gift cards or gifts! |
