Cost & Fundraising
We will be asking each participant to submit a $150 deposit with their Registration Form due to the Youth Ministry Office. We will discuss individual and large group fundraisers at our first meeting and asking for volunteers to help. We could ask each family to pay at least $500 but we want to make this affordable for everyone to participate. If you are unable to pay the deposit, please let us know and we'll work with you!
We will be asking each participant to help us raise support by sending letters to business that you support, neighbors, friends and family. If each person sends it to at least 10 people, it can have a huge impact on how we are supported in our mission. Here is the sample letter to adapt it to best suit your personality. Please also turn in this form with a list of who you sent letters to. You can also send it by email or or social media if that works better for you. We would like to have all donations collected by July 1st.
