SO HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE? Well, with 3 AMAZING WOMEN'S GROUPS you have 3 WAYS TO HELP: 1) Buy our raffle tickets at the door for some truly beautiful art work and other prizes generously donated to our event - all proceeds to be given to Maryhouse. 2) Check out the Wish List for Wellspring Center and then bring an item from it to the show - you get a $15 discounted ticket for your kind donation! 3) Check out the Wish List for Women's Wisdom Art, bring an item from the list to the show - you once again get a $15 discounted ticket for your kind donation! |

RAFFLEDuring the course of our two weekends, we will be selling Raffle Tickets for $2 each, and at the end of our run we will announce the winners!
All proceeds from the Raffle will be donated to Maryhouse "Maryhouse is a daytime hospitality shelter for homeless women and children. Women come to us in crisis; some receive short-term help while others might require help for a longer period of time." This past year, 1,584 women and 978 children received services at Maryhouse. |
