Description

Our parish is holding an evening consisting of video horse races where the guests bet on ten races with "funny money". It is not gambling because they do not receive cash back for anything. They bet with funny money and at the end of the evening they are able to purchase raffle tickets, silent auction items and live auction items with the "funny money" that they won. We also sell food and drinks and charge a small admission. Only those 21 & over may attend. It is a fun night that will help us to raise funds to help renovate our deteriorating church building. Your logo/information will be displayed throughout the evening via a PowerPoint presentation in the front of the room. Your logo/information will also be in our program. And, if we receive your donation soon enough, can be used in our advertising. Thank you for your consideration!
