JCY-Westchester Community Partners Limited Raffle

 

JCY-Westchester Community Partners is holding a Limited Raffle* to help support our literacy and intergenerational programs.  These programs, with their roots in Yonkers, now also help people across all of Westchester.  Programs assist children in grades K-12 sharpen their reading skills, provide hundreds of books to elementary school children, give scholarships to needy students, and even fund a program to read to children (and their siblings) while they are in the neonatal ICU at both Westchester Medical Center and White Plains Hospital.  Literally thousands of seniors act as mentors and volunteer readers.  This helps keep them active as well as helping young people.  Everyone wins. But continuing our work costs money.  And our grant money has been slashed.  Our programs are in danger of being further reduced.

We are not asking our friends or supporters to attend a fancy dinner this year.  This raffle is our major fundraiser for 2010.  Your participation will help insure the continuation of our programs and services.

 

* A Limited Raffle means that no more than 500 tickets, value $100 each, will be sold.  This greatly increases your chance of winning the Grand Prize of up to $5000, the 1st prize of up to $ 2, 500 or one of the five Bonus Prizes of up to $1,000 each.  Why not get a group of friends or business associates together to purchase a ticket or two?
