The past year has been a challenging one and, as families navigate virtual school versus in-person and the challenges that come with each, the Limerick Home & School League is doing our best to continue hosting events throughout the year that our community has come to know and love. Our 18th Annual Basket Raffle may look different this year but we hope to make it just as exciting and fun as in years past. Events like the Basket Raffle rely on the generosity of our local businesses as well as our community members to be successful.

TheLimerickElementaryHome&SchoolLeaguewouldliketorequestacontributionforour18th Annual Basket Raffle, themed “Baskets of Kindness”. The event will be online and winners will be announced on Saturday, February 27, 2021. In order to properly prepare, we are asking for donations to be submitted by February 5, 2021. Last year, with the theme “How Lucky We Are”, generous donations helped us far surpass our fundraising goal and contributed toward an event that raffled off over 140 Baskets, 9 Grand Prizes and 5 Great Grand Prizes! Although the format will be different, we want to make sure we continue our track record for being our school’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and we truly hope that we can count on your support to make that happen.

Fundraising events like the basket raffle allow us to fund assemblies, field trips, family activity nights, free reading books and a variety of other projects that help meet the needs of the school and our children. These necessities include the construction of our innovative outdoor classroom and SMART Boards that allow teachers to deliver dynamic interactive lessons right in the classroom.

Donations of pre-made gift baskets (wrapped or unwrapped), gift cards/certificates, individual products & gift type items, as well as monetary contributions are greatly appreciated for use during the raffle and for our grand prize drawings. Your business name will be clearly acknowledged for individual baskets or prizes and, for businesses that contribute baskets, individual products, gift cards, or cash valued at $75 or more will also be recognized on our Facebook page. Limerick Elementary Home and School League is a 501 (c) (3) non- profit organization and donations are tax deductible. Our tax-exempt number is 26-0013353/000.

Our families value and support your business throughout the year and we hope you will consider our request. To discuss contribution ideas, please contact Beth Hagan or Adria Ferreri by email at LESBasketRaffle2021@gmail.com or by phone at 484-433-9102 (Beth) or 610-308-4342 (Adria).
