2012 Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser!

I wanted to update everyone on the progress of the Ronald McDonald House fundraiser!  This year we are working with the Springfield House, Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks!

 The 2012 fundraiser will begin on February 1, 2012 so if you are making a quilt, please try and have it to me as soon as possible so I can make a photo of it and get it uploaded and in the album with the other quilts. Thanks so much!  Use the CONTACT ME button on the right sidebar for my address if you need it for sending in your quilt!


If you signed up please do your best to keeping your commitment.  Thank you!

The sale of tickets will continue up and through the evening of September 22, 2012!

Tickets will be 2.00 each or 3 for 5.00!

For the past 3 years a group of quilters from the HGTV Forum have been presenting  the Ronald McDonald House Charities with the proceeds from a quilting related fundraiser!  We have helped Houses in North Carolina, Texas and California to date!  This current fundraiser will be tied to the House in Springfield, Missouri, The Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks!

For the 2012 fundraiser, we have also welcomed some of our blogging friends in to help us too! :)

We need everyone's help to make the fundraiser a success!!! So look for the start of the fundraiser, February 1, 2012,  and help by helping our tally rise as high as it can! We are shooting for 5,000.00!!

Lindsay Mattison will be our host for the ticket sales.  She has made all necessary contacts with the Springfield House and has complied with all of their requirements and is ready to get this show on the road!  

Lindsay is hosting the 6th annual Circle Of Friends Quilting Retreat in Branson, MO the weekend of September 22nd for the quilters of the HGTV Quilting and Needlework Forum and will have the ticket drawing on the last day of the retreat, Sept 23, with 60 of the HGTV Quilters present!!

A representative from the Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks, (Springfield House) will be on hand the morning of Sunday, September 23 to draw the winning tickets for the baskets and the quilts!  Lindsay will present the funds from the sale of tickets to the House at the end of the drawing!

Beginning February 1, 2012 you can send Lindsay an email at:


crayolaquilts@gmail.com

to purchase your tickets for a chance to win one or more of these beautiful quilts or one of the 3 baskets! 

 Tickets will be 2.00 each or 3 for 5.00!


You may make your check out to the Ronald McDonald House Charities if you wish but please post date your check as the funds will not be presented until September 23, 2012. Please post date your check to reflect this date.

The fundraiser will run in 2 categories!

 ** The Quilts** and **The Baskets**

To date: 1/12/2012... We have 29 quilts promised for the fundraiser with 22 of that 29 already IN the house!

We also have had an outpouring of participation for the baskets and currently have THREE baskets for the fundraiser FULL of awesome goodies!!!

 

When tickets are drawn, the first 3 tickets out of the tub will be the winners of the baskets!  This way everyone's names are in the drawing for these fantastic prizes! I would not be able to put a definite monetary value on these baskets but each one is packed with a few hundred dollars worth of merchandise EACH!!

The quilts will be numbered and will be won in numerical order when the tickets are drawn... 1st ticket drawn wins quilt #1 and so on!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to those providing the QUILTS and the BASKET GOODIES for the fundraiser!!
