Send the Valks to Nationals! 50/50 Raffle Continues!

// October 15th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // 15s, Fundraising, News

Hey ladies,

Some of you already know me, but my name is Carrey Bull, and I am the current fundraiser for the Austin Valkyries.

In case you haven’t heard, the Valkyries are going to Nationals in Boston!!!  Whoo-hoo!!!!To help offset costs, we are holding a 50/50 raffle!  What does this mean?  Well, all the Valkyries are selling raffle tickets, and the collected money goes into a pot.  If your ticket is drawn as the winning ticket, you will win 50% of the pot.  (Nice, huh?)  With over 30 Valks rostered right now, the winning pot should be $500 or more!

Tickets are $5 for 1, or $20 for 5.

Please find your favorite current Valkyrie and buy some raffle tickets!!!

Thank you for your time,
Carrey Bull
