Calendar Raffle Fundraiser

Help your classroom and be entered to win a

$250 Great Wolf Lodge gift card OR $250 cash!

Dear Gorman Fort Banks Families:

The Gorman Fort Banks PTO is excited to announce this year’s Calendar Raffle Fundraiser!  For the fourth year, we are running a Calendar Raffle as a fundraiser for the Classroom Grant Fund for our school, and the month of March could be your lucky month!  With your participation, we are hoping to make this our most successful fundraiser this school year!

31 Chances to Win and $2000 in Cash Prizes!

For only $10 per calendar, you can be entered to win daily cash prizes ranging from $25 up to $250 throughout the month of March.  All winners are put back into the raffle drum for the next day's drawing, so you can win multiple times with one calendar.  The more calendars you buy, the better your chances to win.

Entering the Calendar Raffle is Easy...

Attached to this letter you will find 10 calendars.  Simply buy or sell each calendar for $10, fill out the top portion completely and return it with your payment in a sealed envelope (cash or check payable to the GFB PTO) by February 29th.  All entries received with payment will be included in the Calendar Raffle drawings.

Mrs. Pearson will draw the winners each morning throughout the month of March.  Winners will be posted daily on our Facebook page and weekly on the GFB PTO website (www.fortbankspto.blogspot.com).  Prizes will be sent directly to each winner at the address provided on the winning ticket, within ten days.

We hope you will find this to be a fun and exciting fundraiser.  Please remember that all proceeds raised will directly support the Classroom Grant Fund which will help our teachers purchase special materials to enrich your child’s educational experience. If you are unable to sell any of the provided calendars, please return them to the school in your child’s backpack.

Special Prize Drawing for Top Sellers...

Any student who sells 5 by February 29th will be entered into a separate drawing.  Sell 10 and receive two chances (and so on).  One lucky winner will receive their choice of a $250 Great Wolf Lodge gift card OR $250 cash prize .  Please be sure your child’s name is written on the “Sold By” line on any return tickets so s/he will get credit for the sale.  This winner will be announced during the week of March 7th.

Thank you for supporting our school!
