We need your help! I am raising money to support Educators Rising SD so we can attend the National Educators Rising conference in Washington, DC.
I realize many different organizations and many great causes ask you for money. To give you an extra incentive to donate to our cause, we are using a unique fundraiser called HoopsMania that gives you a chance to win cash prizes. With every $10 donation, you get music downloads at www.charitystudio.com, and more importantly, you get a complimentary HoopsMania sweepstakes game card based on college basketball. With your game card you have a chance to win $1,000s in cash prizes. Best of all, you don’t need to know anything about the sport to play along. Once you are entered, you automatically have a chance to win!
It is a really fun way for you to support our organization! Please donate now to my fundraising effort by using the link below and following the directions to get your HoopsMania game cards:
