Help the Committee make this year’s Free Drawing a success

Now that the 2012 Free Drawing is wrapped up, it’s time to secure prizes for the 2013 Free Drawing. The Mono Lake Committee’s Free Drawing is the largest and most successful annual fundraiser for the organization.

The Free Drawing is made possible through the generous support of businesses, organizations, and individuals. The success of the Free Drawing really depends upon the prizes we are able to offer—the more desirable the prize the more likely it is that we will have many participants. Last year the Committee was able to give away more than 20 prize packages, ranging from weekend getaways in San Francisco and the Eastern Sierra to an iPad 3, Kindle Fire, and free full-year memberships to supporting non-profit organizations. This year we would like to have prizes that are just as exciting and enticing as years past. The only way we can do that is with your support.

If you’d like to donate to our Free Drawing or have a contact that would be willing to donate a prize (or two), let them know we are gladly accepting donations. We hope to secure donations by the first week of May so we can begin to compile a list of prizes (and donors) that will be mailed to 16,000 members during both the summer and fall, as well as publish a list on our website. Please contact Lynette at (760) 647-6595 if you are able to make a donation.
