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 2008 ARE AUGUST
8, 9 & 10.
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 1500 AS IN THE PAST, WE
WILL
SELL 1800 TICKETS WITH MORE CASH PRIZES AT MORE INTERVALS. Proposed Payouts for Name Board Game 2008
To be announced TICKET INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED HERE AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. SEND AN E-MAIL TO lindmik@hotmail.com TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE OR IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SELLING A BOOK OR TWO OF TICKETS. DON'T FORGET, THE SELLER OF THAT WINNING TICKET GETS $500 TOO, SO YOU AND A FRIEND CAN BOTH BE HAPPY! 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.
