Chittenden Delegation Fund raising opportunity from SOVT

The offer below is from SOVT. I'd like to encourage everyone associated with the Chittenden Delegation to volunteer for this fundraiser. In addition to signing up with Robyn, please let Karen or me know you are volunteering! Thanks, Dave

Is your local program looking for an easy way to raise some money?

WHAT?

The Special Olympics Vermont Law Enforcement Torch Run Committee has teamed-up with the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival to host its first ever Dunk Tank Fundraiser on August 15-17. Local law enforcement officers, politicians, and Vermont celebrities have volunteered to go “in the tank” for Special Olympics Vermont. Festival attendees will have a chance to pay $5 to toss 3 softballs in hopes of dunking one.

HOW CAN MY PROGRAM DIRECTLY BENEFIT?

Sign-up for a minimum of 1 hour to man the Dunk Tank and your local program will keep half the profit made. Manning the booth does not mean sitting in the dunk tank, we’ve covered that part. You would simply ask athletes, coaches, parents, ect. to help with money collecting, handing out Special Olympics brochures and selling t-shirts.

WHEN & WHERE?

The Dunk Tank Fundraiser will be at the Waterfront Park in Burlington (same location as the Burlington Plunge)

Friday, August 15th from Noon – 6:30pm

Saturday, August 16th from 11:00am – 8:00pm

Sunday, August 17th from Noon – 4:30pm

NEED MORE INFORMATION OR WANT TO SIGN-UP FOR A TIME SLOT?

E-mail Robyn Comstock at rcomstock@vtso.org or call 1-800-639-1603 ext 105
