The Chili Bingo Night Fundraiser is now officially upon us! A huge thanks goes out to some incredible students: Regan, Adelynn, and Jacob, as well as parents/volunteers: Raynell Heaton, Jen Simkins, Vicki Crickon, and Cheryl Richetta, for preparing the prize list by putting in incalculable hours of calling, emailing, collecting, and begging (well, not quite) businesses. Here is everything you need to know, and then some.
On Friday, March 13, each student received an envelope with a prize list and 10 red tickets. They may sell as many as the'd like! Here are the important facts that students must remember about selling these tickets:
- They MUST collect the money at the time of sale.
- They need to include the following information on each ticket:
- Buyer's name
- Buyer's phone number
- Item number (if the buyer wants their tickets to go towards a specific item)
- They must bring the tickets AND the money back to Mr. Jacques. (buyer does not keep the tickets)
This fundraiser is extremely profitable because the profit margin is 100%. All prizes are donated. Also, since the band/orchestra is running this by themselves, we will receive every dollar raised through not just the raffle, but through Bingo games, food sales, and the silent auction that are all taking place on March 27.
This raffle is unique because you can choose which item you want to win. Your chances of winning what you want will increase, and you won't win anything you don't want.
Students can come back for as many tickets as they want! You are encouraged to go to your neighbors, relatives, friends, and coworkers and help your students sell. There are top prizes for students, and they were very excited to know what they might be able to win:
- Sell 10 tickets: Receive 1 free ticket for the item of your choice.
- Sell 100 tickets: Receive a $5 gift card to Starbucks OR Jamba Juice
- Sell the most tickets in your class: Receive free pizza from Pizza Factory AND a free pass to an attraction of your choice at Wild Island
- Sell the most tickets in the entire program: Receive a $50 gift card to the business of your choice!
- If everybody in a class sells at least 10 tickets, they will all receive a barbecue lunch and an in-class party.
Our fundraising goal is $7,000 and with your support, we can easily surpass that amount.
I'll be updating the newsletter again with the usual news and updates later this weekend. Enjoy the beginning of an amazingly fun and profitable fundraiser!
-Mr. Jacques-
