~ If you want to buy individual tickets, see Anne in the office ~

Hello Wildflower Families,

PAC's final year-end raffle fundraising event is underway - Our success is dependent on whole community support! 

  • First prize $2000 CASH! 
  • Second prize $1000 Co-op grocery cards
  • Third prize $1000 Save-on grocery cards

We are in the final steps of a long fundraising campaign for the Playground Expansion Project. If every Wildflower Student/Family sold tickets to 8-10 people, then we will be $8000 closer to the final goal. Upgrades to the school yard begin this summer! PAC would like to encourage the children of Wildflower to participate in this raffle by providing the class that sells the most tickets with a YEAR END PRIZE!! 

Two choices of booklets:

  • 3/$20 in books of 24 tickets  Total Cost $160
  • 1/$10 in books of 24 tickets  Total Cost $240

Parents are welcome to take whatever they feel their family can sell. 

How to get tickets:

  1. Parents can drop by the office and Anne will organize a booklet or two for you to take home and sell!
  2. Parents can call or email Anne and have a booklet sent home with their child by prepaying for the book of tickets. Payment can be made by cash or cheque (payable to Wildflower PAC)  to Anne in the office or e-transfer to wildflowertreasurernelson@gmail.com 
    (For e-transfer: INCLUDE your child’s name, class teacher, and note this is for raffle tickets.) E-TRANSFER OPTION IS ONLY FOR PARENTS BUYING BOOKLETS 

We Recommend prepaying for a booklet so you don't need to worry about returning the money collected or unsold tickets. All you will need to do is return the ticket stubs to Anne!

If you'd prefer to sign out a book of tickets and pay later, make sure you return the ticket stubs and money collected to Anne EARLY (before June 10th), so that others may try to sell them. *Only ticket stubs and money collected on or before June 10th can be counted for the class sales competition* 


Where to sell Raffle Tickets: (With these prizes, these tickets will sell themselves!)

  • Post on Social Media, have friends and family from near and far send you e-transfers and send them a picture of their tickets!
  • Bring them to the soccer field, or other group activities your kids do.
  • Take them to work and sell them to colleagues!
  • Go 'old school' and sell tickets door-to-door in your neighborhood. Better yet, make it a Home School project!
  • Have your child set up a 'lemonade/ticket sale stand'!
  • Have them connect with classmates and sell them together! (The class with the highest ticket sales is going to get a prize!)
  • Buy a whole booklet for your family and cross your fingers! 

 

What to say:

“Our school is turning a parking lot into a playground and we need your help! We are raising funds to greenify our yard and create outdoor activity spaces to bring our outdoor learning and play space to life!”

Thank You for your ongoing support with this massive endeavour to create a multi-age outdoor experience for the children of Wildflower!
