RaffleMania!
A FUNdraiser for
H3: Help, Hope, and Healing for Autism
We are currently looking for vendor and/or businesses that may be interested in participating in our RaffleMania FUNdraising events. The purpose of these events is to raise money for H3: Help, Hope, and Healing for Autism. H3 is a ministry of Crosspointe Church of Christ and we put on several events throughout the year for families with children with autism. The RaffleManias will be held at Crosspointe Church of Christ located about a ½ mile east of the I-75 Middletown exit.
Vendors/businesses that may be interested may include but not limited to:
* Direct Sales Businesses---ex: Tupperware, Avon, Pampered Chef, etc.
*Hair salons or beauty services
*Craft vendors
*Any other business in the community—restaurants, oil changes, car washes, etc.
Here is a general outline of how we plan to implement these events:
· These events will take place at Crosspointe Church of Christ one Friday night per month. Actual event dates are still to be determined.
· Attendees who want to bid on items will be charged an admission fee to get into the event.
· Raffle tickets will be sold at the door.
· Vendors/businesses will donate 2 items for auctioning (see end of this flyer for more details about donated items).
· Items will be auctioned off by raffle tickets---auctioneer will describe the item, allow participants time to enter their raffle ticket, shake the container of total tickets, and then draw a winner. As determined by law, 100% of the proceeds of the Raffle items will go to the H3 charity.
· We will also have a 50/50 raffle that will be donated to the H3 charity.
Here is what vendors can get in return for their donations:
· FREE vendor space (please bring your own table)
· Vendors/businesses are able to sell products, advertise their business, book parties, and give out coupons and sales materials. This is you opportunity to get the word out on your business!
· One FREE advertisement about your business that will be announced by the auctioneer sometime during the evening (advertisement should be a maximum of ½ page typed and given to the auctioneer before the event)
· Vendors/businesses may choose to participate every month, or choose their months.
· Businesses can write off their donations for the raffle.
What is expected of participating vendors/businesses:
· Sign up in advance for the months that you wish to participate. NOTE: Vendors and businesses that sign up on a particular month are making a commitment to make at least 2 donations whether they are able to stay for the event not. We are counting on a certain number of items each month to have a successful fundraising event.

* 1st item needs to be a product retailing $20 or more
* 2nd item may be another product $20 or more OR a coupon for
50% of any item up to a $20 value. (businesses are required
