Raffle Prizes

Early Bird Raffle Sales

 

The raffle baskets for the 2009 Buddy Walk are awesome!  Now is your chance to sell tickets to friends and co-workers who cannot come and walk with us, but would like to support the Down syndrome network.  All raffle early bird sales turned in by October 21 will count towards your team fundraising total.  Any turned in after that will still be elegible for the raffle, but will not be guaranteed to count towards team totals.  As an incentive to sell more tickets and get them turned in by October 21, the person who has the highest early bird sales submited by October 21 will get $20 in free raffle tickets for themselves.  The contents of the baskets are listed below. Send an e-mail around the office and hang the list  by the coffee machine and they will sell themselves!  If you would like tickets to sell, or are interested in purchasing tickets contact Christy Lee at:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
