MAROON & GOLD RAFFLE - SO CLOSE TO OUR GOAL!! | |
We announced last week that an amazing alumna committed to a match gift of $25,000 that will only be donated if we hit our $150,000 Maroon & Gold Raffle goal! As of today, we are at $147,000 and so close to the finish line. The drawing will be held this Friday, November 4th, so please visit the reception area to get more tickets and have them turned in by Thursday to be included in the drawing.
In lieu of purchasing tickets, you may also make a tax deductible donation online at mhsmi.org/giving/maroon-and-gold-donation. Feel free to share this link with any family and friends that might be interested in contributing to our fundraiser.
Thank you to all families who have been busy selling Maroon & Gold Raffle tickets to support Mercy!
