Letter: United Way says still time to buy 50/50 tickets; campaign at 99.9%
Icon viewers:
The United Way of Bluffton, Beaverdam, and Richland Township would like to thank everyone who has purchased 50/50 tickets.
The prize money is $208. If you would still like to purchase 50/50 tickets you can still do so this coming Saturday, July 23, and Saturday, July 30, at the Farmers' Market in Bluffton.
Or you can contact the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, BFR, or Bluffton Child Development Center for tickets. The drawing is scheduled for Saturday, July 30.
Due to the cancellation of the Community Olympics, the drawing will now be held at the Farmer's Market instead.
The campaign goal for 2015 -2016 is $25,500. We are currently at 99.9% ($25,474). Almost there!
The United Way of Bluffton, Beaverdma, and Richland Township along with the agencies receiving support greatly appreciate the communities support.
We are proud to support the Bluffton Hospital Auxiliary, American Red Cross, Bluffton Community Preschool, Bluffton Senior Citizens, Bluffton Family Recreation, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Weekday Christian Ed, and Bluffton Community Assistance Corporation.
