Why does the Chapter conduct Fundraising Activities?
Our fundraising efforts are to help us build our "Educational Fund." Our Educational Fund is used to reimburse members for their registration fees (or a portion of their registration fees) related to the ABWA Annual National Women's Leadership Conference and the various ABWA-sponsored Regional Conferences (please refer to our Chapter Standing Rules for eligibility and complete details). Additionally, we fund our participation in the Business Skills Tuition Reimbursement Program (BSTR) through the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund (SBMEF). Read more about this program!

1. Purchase your tickets in advance! You can purchase tickets all month long - purchase a little, purchase A LOT! You can purchase online up until 4:00pm on the day of the Chapter meeting. You can also purchase tickets in-person at our Monthly Meetings. Purchases made online after 4:00pm may be credited to the next month's 50/50 drawing.
2. If you purchase your tickets in advance, you will receive your physical tickets at the door upon check-in. 3. We put all tickets sold during the month AND at the meeting into a jar and have a member or guest pull the winning ticket at the end of the Chapter meeting! 4. Winners need not be present to win! That's the great thing about being able to continue our 50/50 raffle sales online! If you purchase tickets and have a last minute meeting conflict, you can still win! If you are unable to attend a meeting, and still want to support the Chapter, this is also an easy way to do that, and possibly win some CASH! 5. Winners will receive a check for their winnings! Or, you can choose to rollover your winnings, or a portion of your winnings, to next month's drawing. 6. HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!! |
