One of the truly cool things the Soroptimist Club does is raising money so they can offer folks tickets to ride the ferry to their cancer-related doctor appointments & treatments – here’s the next one, as detailed by the Club:
Bunko Party Fiesta Fundraiser to support Soroptimist Ferry Tickets for Cancer Patients Project
Join the fun at the Soroptimists Bunko Party fundraiser. Come to the fiesta Friday April 30th at the Mullis Center from 6-9 pm. Proceeds will help with the Soroptimist Cancer Treatment Support Mission that has been providing ferry tickets for cancer patients here on San Juan Island since May 2005. The need is now greater than ever before. Soroptimist are looking at spending over $18,000 annually for the purchase of ferry tickets for island cancer patients with funds being raised through event and raffle ticket sales. You may even know someone who has been helped with this project. Please lend your support with your tax-deductible donation. You can help in three ways:
1) Attend the Fiesta Bunko Party fundraiser on Friday, April 30, 2010 at the Mullis Center 6-9 pm. You do not need to know how to play the Bunko dice game. It is very easy and lots of fun. Event tickets are $20 and include appetizers and 3 Bunko games. Beverages are available. Event tickets can be purchased at The Toy Box, Spa d Bune, Kings Market on April 18 and 25th and the Marketplace on April 19, 23 and 26th. Dress for the fiesta and have a great time! Seating is limited so get your tickets early.
2) Purchase Raffle Tickets for an opportunity to receive a great gift. Your donations will help cancer patients receive transportation to the mainland for treatments.
