NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU
We know that kiddos out-grow adaptive footwear and equipment quickly. We encourage you to bring out-grown items to "swap" with other families. There will be a table to place your item(s) so others can view and take what will work for them. Please bring clean and gently used items. Items not "swapped" must be claimed by original owner at the end of the event.Our raffle has a lot of amazing prizes and ticket sales are 100% profit to SBWIS. If you would like to help us fundraise, please bring NEW items like toys, children's books, handcrafted items or a themed basket (wine/alcohol can be included) that we can add to our raffle ($25 minimum value). We reserve the right to combine or reject inappropriate items. Raffle items must arrive by 8:45am and can be dropped off with Tonya at our raffle table in exchange for 2 free raffle tickets!50/50 raffle - contribute and win half! We're starting with $100.00 in the winner's pot to get things started! Tickets on sale, cash only $20.00 for 8 tickets, $10 for 4 tickets. Drawing will be at 10:30am; must be present to win.Participate in our Match and Meet at 10:15am. Gather together to be matched with other members/families with SB.
