The JACS JAM committee has made the decision to move forward with a virtual event. Although it is not going to be the same parish festival we redesigned last year filled with food, entertainment, and fun with our family and friends, we are still excited about this year's fundraiser. We are focusing on what we CAN do, not what we can't do! We know we need to be flexible as we go and as our world changes, so be patient with our awesome team, who are coming up with new ideas and discussing possible scenarios as the situation changes. We may even be able to host a few in-person events, but we will assess that as we get closer to the event.

Could you prayerfully consider how you can contribute to the success of this year's festival?
We really do need you!

OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE:

Many of our raffles and game boards are usually sold after Masses or at the event. Since we have reduced attendance at Mass and a possibility of not having any in-person events, this leaves a big gap in parishioners’ ability to pick up and purchase their raffle tickets prior to our event.
We need your help to sell to your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:

• DELIVER CASH RAFFLE TICKETS - Can you help deliver tickets to those parishioners who cannot personally pick them up? This is the biggest fundraiser of our event!
• SELL CAR RAFFLE TICKETS - We have 1,200 tickets to sell for the car raffle and in the past, the majority of these tickets have been sold after Masses. Again, with lower attendance, we ask all parishioners to sell a packet of car raffle tickets. Who doesn’t want to win a car?
• SELL CHICKEN PLOP BOARDS - We still have an opportunity to sell 50/50 chance boards, and we are super excited to watch the live-stream event to find out who the winners are. Can you plan to sell a ^$5, ^$10, or ^$20 board? Watch our communication tools to meet our beautiful feathered contestants!

SILENT AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED:

• Own a cabin or timeshare that another family could use for a week?
• Can you bake delicious desserts or decorate beautiful cakes that someone can order for a celebration?
• Do you create handmade arts, crafts, or woodworking projects?
• Could you put together a fun basket? Maybe a family or group of friends could go in together?

 DO YOU OWN A BUSINESS:

• Would you like to sponsor our event? Your logo will be added to our advertising materials.
• Can you donate an item to our silent auction? Let us advertise and thank your business.
• Can you sell raffle tickets in your storefront? We’ll send buyers to purchase tickets at your location.
