NAME BOARD

THE NAME BOARD GAME IS A FUND RAISER SPONSORED BY THE PORTAGE FOUNDATION HELD EVERY YEAR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ANNUAL PORTAGE SUMMERFEST CELEBRATION AT CRICHTON-McCORMICK PARK. THE DATES FOR SUMMERFEST 2009 ARE AUGUST 7,8,& 9. ALL SOLD TICKETS ARE PLACED IN A DRAWING AND PRIZES ARE AWARDED AT SPECIFIC INTERVALS WITH A GRAND PRIZE OF $10,000 TO THE HOLDER OF THE LAST TICKET IN THE BARREL. THE LAST TWO YEARS, TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT BEFORE THE WEEKEND OF SUMMERFEST, SO THE COMMITTEE HAS DECIDED TO SELL MORE TICKETS, INSTEAD OF 1800 AS IN THE PAST, WE WILL SELL 2000 TICKETS WITH MORE CASH PRIZES AT MORE INTERVALS. DRAWING WILL BEGIN AT 12 NOON ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2009.

THE BULK OF THE MONEY THAT IS MADE FROM THE NAME BOARD GOES INTO THE PORTAGE REGIONAL ENDOWMENT FUND, WITH SOME BEING DONATED TO THE PARK AND THE SUMMERFEST PROGRAM. THE PORTAGE REGIONAL ENDOWMENT FUND IS A PERMANENT, NAMED ENDOWMENT FUND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE UNDER THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERTISE AND GUIDANCE, BUT WITH PHILANTHROPIC BENEFIT TO OUR REGION. AS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE, EARNINGS GROW AND ALLOW FOR MORE MONEY TO BE RETURNED TO OUR COMMUNITY.
