Here’s how it works in summary:
By signing up, you will engage in a month-long, friendly competition with other small businesses, each with a goal to raise $1000 for the arts during the month of July. You will provide a raffle item or service with a value of $50.00 or more, and will have your own, unique fundraising page which Heights Arts will create for you. Your customers will be able to purchase raffle tickets through their phones using your unique QR and text code leading to your unique fundraising page at $5.00 per entry, with incentive to give more by getting an extra entry for every $15.00 they contribute.
We will also include your business in our promotions and mailings to approximately 10,000 residents, so people can donate from anywhere in support of your business and the arts. The business that raises the most funds will win a private event in our space on Lee Road for them and their employees.
So, are you in? We hope so!
“As a small local business owner for 30 years, I know of the great importance of community engagement and collaboration.
The Heart in the Heights program is a Win Win-Win for you, the small business, Heights Arts, and hopefully, your ever expanding customer base.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I participate if I don’t have a raffle item to give? Yes! You can participate two ways:
1. As a business participant: If you don’t have a raffle item or service, you can provide a gift certificate to any of the other participating local businesses. Just tell us the value of the gift certificate you want to provide, and you can purchase it from the business once the winner is chosen. For instance, if you are a law office or insurance agent, etc., you can still promote HEART in the Heights to your clients and provide a gift card to the participating business of their choice in the amount you choose.
2. As a sponsor: You can be a sponsor of the program by contributing at one of four levels – Presenting ($5000), Platinum, ($2500), Gold ($1500/$1000 nonprofit), and Silver ($500/$300 nonprofit) Your business name and logo will appear in all promotional materials, both in print and online.
How do I promote the program? We will provide promotional content (social media and printed materials for your business) all the materials to make it easy. We simply ask that you share the program details with your customer-facing employees (if applicable) and promote it onsite with your customers.
How do the winners claim their prizes? We will announce the winners live in August and notify them by email with your contact information. It will be their responsibility to contact you to claim their prize. They will use their confirmation email as proof that they won the raffle item.
What happens if no one claims my raffle item? If the winner doesn’t claim the raffle item, you can have Heights Arts choose an alternate winner or provide it as an incentive during promotions we make to our members during the following year.
