We have just finished another very successful fund raiser; the Cajun Cook Off and Hank Williams Tribute. There are several ways to help support our "musical" fundraising efforts throughout the year. We have t-shirts ($10 each, all sizes) for sale, which support the Tribute Series, and gave a visual way to show your support when you wear them proudly throughout the year. It is fun to see past year's shirts on staff around the offices on "casual" days! They become a good conversation piece, when someone standing behind you in line can ask about the Americana series!
There are also raffle tickets for a fantastic trip to Nashville Tennessee in September to attend the Americana Music Festival. These $20 tickets give you a chance to win a prize package worth over $1000- three nights lodging in downtown Nashville, within walking distance of the Ryman Auditorium (site of the awards ceremony) and many other live music venues, which you will have access to attend live shows over three nights, with many of the biggest names in Americana music. There is also some spending cash in the bargain.
Sponsorships of upcoming events are also a way to support the Series as well as the CHS-Parkersburg site in general, as well as getting your business name out in support of children and families services. We could use some sponsors for our first Outdoor Festival (The Shindig) in June; sponsors would help with expenses of putting the event on, such as sound, promotion, etc. Your name would be prominent in the advance material and at the event itself. Prizes is another great way to support the Americana series. At each event, the audience enjoys lots of fun along with the entertainment either through contests, or just the luck of winning a door prize. Over the years of the Series, many people have fun memories of winning a prize, or winning a contest!
