DEADLINE FOR AD SPONSORSHIP AUG. 31 – We need your help!

Two weeks remain to sponsor an ad in our Sponsor Booklet.

Please use the contact me button if you are interested in supporting EHH and helping us help families who have kids with cancer.  For ad layout info, visit:  https://emilyshopefulholiday.wordpress.com/coupon-sponsor-recognition-booklet-info/.

By sponsoring an ad, you are showing your support to families who have kids fighting cancer.  The Sponsor Booklets are handed out at our annual event to approximately 200 people.  This year’s event is at Ziggy’s in Amherst, OH on November 10th, from 3-7.  It includes, many raffle items, entertainment (this year’s band is Me & My Brother), and dine to donate – 15% back to EHH from Ziggy’s.  

Raffle donations are also being accepted now.  Raffles are one of our biggest money makers.  Without the help and support of family, friends, and local businesses, we could not keep EHH going.  Some great ideas to donate are:  lottery basket, Italian theme, OSU, etc.  We have friends who donate in memory of someone, or simply just want to be part of making a direct impact on families who have kids with cancer.  100% of ALL money raised, goes directly to families to help them pay bills while their kids are being treated for cancer.

This year’s raffles will again include the Apple MacBook Air ($1100 value), our huge 50/50, a 10 person party pack to the new Skyzone, Westlake, a four pack of tickets to Cedar Point, our ever-popular Put-In Bay package which includes transportation, accommodations, dining, and tour package, FOUR watches donated by Marzavas & Sons, tickets to an upcoming show at The Q which will be announced, among many other amazing prizes.

Save the date — and hope to see you there!  Thank you to everyone who continues to support EHH.

The 3rd Annual Emily’s Hopeful Holiday Fundraiser Open House will be on November 7, 2009 from 10:00 – 3:00 at the St. Joseph Social Hall, 175 St. Joseph Drive, Amherst, OH.

We will have local entertainment, many home show consultants will be there to offer you their wonderful product and they will be donating their proceeds from the day to the EHH fund, as well as refreshments, many themed baskets for raffle, and a 50/50 drawing. Admission is FREE.

Please help me get the word out by passing this information along to your friends, co-workers, and family.

Upcoming Fundraiser Update – EHH Open House now being planned + Cyber-Raffle

Because I have decided to do an actual fundraising event now in addition to my cyber raffle, dates are changing…so sorry for the confusion but I want to make the most out of this fundraiser for Rainbow.  Once I get everything finalized, I will post the information.

For those of you who are asking to donate baskets to my event, thank you.  Ideas for themed baskets include:  lottery basket, margarita basket, Italian basket, or anything you can creatively come up with.  Going in with others is a good way to make the basket valuable without tapping too much into your own pockets!

I’m getting very excited about our Open House which is now in the works.  I will have more home show consultants this year, local entertainment, refreshements as well as all the wonderful baskets I am raffling off.

STAY TUNED…..

In addition to the cyber-raffle that is taking place online (dates have changed — they have been moved up) we are having an Open House November 7, 2009 – 10:00 – 3:00 at St. Joseph Social Hall.  The drawing will be held on November 7 at the EHH Open House.

I am going to have another fundraiser like I did last year where you will be able to come and see the baskets, enjoy some local entertainment, have the opportunity to purchase items from home show consultants and enjoy some refreshments.

Thank you again to all the sponsors who have generously supported this cause and continue to do so.
