“Mysteries of Mathews” Fundraising Raffle October 30 2020, 0 Comments
We have needed to rethink their fundraising plans this year due to the pandemic. Unable to host a large gathering of people, the annual Fine Arts Auction was cancelled. Bay School activities have continued, and funds are needed, so alternative fundraising efforts are underway. Bay School Board members have purchased gift certificates to local business to create a “Mysteries of Mathews” raffle basket. There are currently gift cards to five businesses in the basket, with a value of $350: Richardson’s Café, Moughons Ace Hardware, Caroline’s Cakes, Zoll Vineyards, a Watercolor Painting Lesson with Jan Finn-Duffy, and the Bay School. The basket will continue to grow with additional gift cards and mystery items. Raffle tickets are available now and will be sold online and at the Bay School until the winning ticket is drawn on December 22. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Purchase your tickets here or in the gallery.
Other ongoing and upcoming fundraising efforts include a “Succulents and More” plant sale, with donated plants and pots made by the Clay by the Bay Ceramics Guild; a limited edition print sale starting in early November, and an online auction from November 12-15. The annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser to support Hands Across Mathews will feature “really empty bowls” this year, with bowls available for sale online and at the Bay School, with no in-person soup event. Check out the Fun! Raising tab to keep up with our events and efforts.
More information and raffle tickets are found on the Bay School website. Proceeds from the raffle and all fundraising except Empty Bowls will support Bay School community programs, such as Art-to-Go and the free OpenArts After School Program.
