Coach Fundraiser begins!!

 
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...I feel like the clock is ticking away at our time for raising money for our trip to Kenya. I guess because it is since we now only have five weeks left. So we have to get moving on our last fundraiser.

We have been working on figuring out the best way to give away two coach purses that were generously donated to us to help us raise some money for Kenya. A friend of ours has a friend who works for Coach, so that is how we came to get them. 

We have decided to have a drawing for the purses since we have many friends who do not live close to us. So the way we will do it is that for every $20 you donate to our mission trip fund to Kenya, your name will be written on a raffle ticket. (This means if you want to increase your chances of winning, you can donate more than $20, so if you donate $60, then you will have your name put on 3 tickets for the drawing.) Then we will mail you a copy of your ticket and when we draw for the purse, if your name is one of two drawn, we will contact you and make arrangements to deliver the purse to you. 


Jeremy took some photos of them today so you can see what you will get for your $20, if your name is drawn. As you can see, one of the purses is very colorful.

And here is the solid purse. 

We decided to set a limit of the number of tickets we will sell to increase your chance of winning one of the purses. However, we do still need to raise $3,000 for my sister's trip and another $1600 for my trip, so we decided we will sell 165 tickets. That way if we sell all of the tickets we will raise $3,300 for our mission trip. This means I can finish funding my trip and still give my sister $1700. 


Because of our trip being just five weeks away, we have decided to only have this fundraiser for a month, so we will end the fundraiser on July 31 when we draw the two names for the purses. (We leave for our trip on Aug. 2.) We will contact you by phone on July 31 if your name was drawn.

You can also be entered in the drawing by letting me know you are interested and if I live close by to you, I can swing by and pick up your donation. Or I will also have the tickets in my car, so if you see me at church or somewhere else you can give me the donation and I will give you a copy of the ticket.


Obviously your support in this fundraiser would be so helpful and just amazing! But if you can't support us in this way, as always please be in prayer for us about this fundraiser. Prayer is always the most important part of this as without prayer or God's support, none of this would happen or even matters. So please just keep praying!!
