Here’s how it works:
By signing up, you will engage in a month-long, friendly competition with other small businesses, each with a goal to raise $500 for the arts during the month of July. You provide a raffle item or service with a value of $50 or more, and will be included on a fundraising page created by Heights Arts. Raffle purchases are donations to Heights Arts. Your customers can purchase raffle entries on our website or through their phones using a QR code leading to your fundraising page.
Your business is included in our promotions and mailings to approximately 13,000 residents, so people can donate from anywhere in support of your business and the arts.
So, are you in? We hope so!
