Save a Child Foundation Fundraiser

I wanted to let all of you following my blog know about the fundraiser that is being held to bring a new group of kids to Utah this October. It costs about $4,000 per child to bring them from the Ukraine and many of the organizations that have made large donations in the past have not made those donations this year. Therefore, the organization is in desperate need of donations. They are holding a fundraiser in order to raise these funds. If you can't participate in this event but still want to make a tax-deductible donation, mail it to:

Save a Child Foundation
PO Box 57916
Salt Lake City, UT 84157-0984

** Remember that every little bit will help - even if you only wanted to donate $5! **

FUNDRAISER INFO:

DATE: Saturday, June 27th
PLACE: Layton City Park, 437 N Wasatch Dr., Layton, UT 84041

5K RACE and 1 MILE WALK:
Registration begins at 8 am and the race begins at 9 am.
The cost to participate is $20 per person or $50 per family.

If you are interested in participating in this, email me at annlobos@hotmail.com and I will send you a registration form. Or, you can register that morning (the cost is $25 instead of $20 if you don't pre-register).

CARNIVAL:
There will also be a carnival (I am finding out exactly when this carnival starts and ends and will update this info when I find out). There will be games and blow-up toys which all the kids will love!

RAFFLE:
Raffle tickets are $1 each. As you can see below, there are some very nice items being raffled off. I believe that you can specify which item you want to put your tickets toward (I will find this out for sure and update this when I do). If you want to buy raffle tickets, send an email to saveachildfoundation@gmail.com and someone will coordinate with you to get your money. All raffle tickets purchased are tax-deductible, unless you win (then you only get to deduct the amount you paid over-and-above the FMV of the item received).
