OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER FOR 2019-2020

AAUW will pair with Tauck Tours to raffle off a trip, worth up to $10,000, to any of Tauck’s hundreds of locations, both in the U.S. and around the world. The winner will also receive $1,000 in cash for travel expenses. Those who are only into armchair travel have the option of taking $5,000 in cash in lieu of a trip.
Tickets are $100 each, and only 275 will be sold. We need to sell a minimum of 180 tickets to be able to fund the trip and award scholarships for 2020-2021. If fewer than 180 tickets are sold, we will refund money to those that have bought tickets and discontinue the raffle.
Sales will begin August 1, to members and friends.
Other prizes, including a second-place Tiffany bowl, will also be drawn. The winner does not need to be present to win the grand prize.
On September 1, sales will be opened to the general public. If you have any questions, contact Sue at 501-922-1837.
