LAST CHANCE to jump into the Valentine’s 50/50 Raffle!

We’re down to the final 8 hours, and the momentum is incredible. We’re this close to hitting $2,000 — which means the jackpot is nearly $1,000 and climbing fast.

To everyone who has already stepped up: thank you. Your support is making a real impact. But we’re not done yet — not even close.

Imagine this: 100 more tickets at $10 each. That’s another $1,000 added to the pot. That’s the power of community. That’s the power of people deciding that small actions can create big change.

This is the moment to push.
This is the moment to turn a great fundraiser into an unforgettable one.

Let’s keep the love growing, keep the energy rising, and finish strong.
Spread the word. Lift each other up. Grab your tickets before time runs out.

Let’s make this jackpot — and this impact — something to celebrate.

✨ Valentine’s 50/50 Raffle Update! ✨

We’re just one week in, and you’ve already helped us raise almost $1,000! That means the jackpot is sitting at a sweet $500 for our lucky winner.

Thank you to everyone who has jumped in so far. Your support is pushing us closer to our $2,000 goal, and we’re not stopping yet.

Think about it, 100 more tickets at $10 each would add another $1,000 to the pot. A small contribution really can spark a big change.

Let’s keep the love (and the jackpot) growing. Spread the word and grab your tickets while you can!
