Parents – don’t forget to sell your raffle tickets! For the past seven years, GSA has conducted a raffle to help support the cost of each student in attendance. On opening day, all parents should have received a packet with an enclosed letter explaining the purpose of the raffle as well as 10 raffle tickets. (If you did not receive a packet or left it with your student, you can find all the information enclosed in this post). We ask that you try to sell at least those 10 tickets for $10/ticket, all of which will go directly to GSA to support our $2,800 per student cost so that we can continue to bring students into the program free of charge.
The raffle drawing will take place just prior to the closing ceremonies on Saturday, July 7th. Please bring your sold tickets and a check (made out to “Governor’s School for the Arts”) to move-out on closing day in the back lobby of Forrer Hall, where a designated staff member will accept completed ticket stubs for the raffle drawing.
While your student is here at GSA, please talk to all your family and friends about purchasing tickets to support our program, and remember that you, as parents, are also eligible to buy the tickets and win prizes! If you run out of tickets to sell, we have plenty of extra tickets here in our office that we are more than happy to mail you at any time! If you are interested in buying more tickets, just call our office at 859-281-3509, and we’ll get them to you as soon as we can. Below, we have listed the incredible prizes featured in this year’s drawing!
