Description

This is our largest annual fundraiser of the year in support of our one-on-one adult literacy tutoring. We are the only provider of these literacy services for adults in Western New York and this event greatly supports the work we do all year long. the event is a party-like atmosphere with a local band, dinner, drinks, games, raffles, and prizes. We will give awards to the Mayor and other local groups doing work to promote literacy in our community. We will have reporters there to cover the event and awards ceremony. In addition to door prizes, we will also have a lottery game where participants can spend $20 to pick a random envelope. Inside will be a prize worth at least $20 or more from a local shop, resturant, or event venue. Some will be much larger than $20, but all prizes will be worth at least this amount and can be gift cards, tickets to local events or places, gift baskets, or physical gifts from stores or shops. Anything you would be willing to donate to help promote our lottery game and entice more people to donate would be amazing and very appreciated!
