Pensacola Children's Chorus $10,000 Drawing Fundraiser

2/28/2012

It is time for the Chorus’ spring fundraiser! Insert drum roll, please … Beginning next Monday, we will begin our $10,000 Drawing!

Your child will have the opportunity to promote our $10,000 drawing to take place at the Sunday performance of Showtime, and the chorus member who sells the most tickets by April 27th will win an iPad!

During rehearsals this week, we will be sending home informational packets regarding the $10,000 Drawing Fundraiser. Unlike the cookie dough, bedding plants, and poinsettias, this fundraiser does not go towards tour specifically. In your packet, you will receive a copy of our Drawing flyer, Instructions, and Ticket Order Form (which is also attached with this email). During NEXT WEEK’S rehearsals (week of March 5th-9th), tickets will be distributed for sale through my office at the Chorus (Hillary’s office – First office on the left as you walk in the Chorus building). Chorister, Festival, and Concert parents/guardians must sign for receipt of tickets. Echo and Young Singers will be able to sign for receipt of their tickets. All ticket stubs and payments will be due Friday, April 27th by 5:00 p.m.

Once your child receives the informational packet at rehearsal this week, please feel free to contact the Chorus if you have any questions. The Chorus will be promoting the Drawing throughout the Escambia and Santa Rosa area for the next 10 weeks. Thank you for your continued support!

Insert the sealed envelope in the DROP BOX immediately to your left as you enter the chorus building.
