Unleash Your Generosity and Support Your Favorite Committee in ISPE-CaSA Charitable Giving Contest |
|
Each year, ISPE-CaSA hosts a charity event at our Life Sciences Technology Conference. As part of the 2022 Tech Conference, our association committees are once again competing to raise money for 5 adopted charities:
From now until February 9 you can donate to help a charity you support to win the competition. ISPE-CaSA Board of Directors will give $800 to each of the charities and an extra $1,000 to the charity that raises the most support.
How to participate:
Visit our Charity Donation site, and click on the green button that says "Tickets." You will see a menu to make your donations. Simply use the scroll bar to find your favorite charity or committee and choose the amount you wish to give. Do not donate directly to the charities. While that certainly would benefit the charity of your choice, it would not count toward a committee's collections.
Donators will be entered into a 50/50 raffle drawing where the winner will win 50% of the raffle ticket sales. The remaining 50% will be donated to the charities.
Raffle tickets will also be on sale during the Technology Conference.
