Reach for the Big Hat Stars! Contest

What’s in it for you Big Hatters?

The good news is: NO RAFFLE TICKETS TO SELL THIS YEAR!

You have THREE ways to win:

  • Pledge $300 - $1,500 Prize
  • Sponsor 3 new members this year - $1,000 Prize
  • Pledge $300 AND sponsor 3 new members - $500 Prize

Each time you meet the above criteria you will be entered into the drawing for a cash prize. When the 100 pledge stars are full, which will mean $30,000 has been raised, a 10% return will be used for the prizes as listed above. In addition, a special Big Hat pin will be presented to every member that meets the $300 pledge or brings in 3 new members this year! This is also a great way for those clubs without a strong Big Hat fund to get involved. The final prize drawings will be held at the 2013 National Conference in Ft. Worth.

Thank you to those individuals (listed below) who signed the “STAR” board in Oklahoma City and thank you in advance to those who will join them this fall at your Regional Conferences.

I’m asking each Big Hatter to “Reach for the Big Hat Stars!” It’s an individual or club pledge of just $300 to become eligible for a chance to win big! I’m looking for at least 100 Big Hatters who will make the commitment to contribute this small amount of money - less than $1.00 a day - to support our fundraising efforts for the year. 75 Big Hatters or Big Hat Clubs pledged $300 in Oklahoma City to kick off this fundraising effort! That’s already $22,500 gathered in just a few minutes towards making this the BIGGEST YEAR YET!

As Big Hatters, I challenge you to “Reach for the Big Hat Stars” all year long. Fall Conferences bring opportunities to raise money with your auctions and any other opportunities that you may choose. Donna, John and I look forward to attending your Fall Conferences and supporting your hard work. We will have our “Regional Star Boards” at each Conference to give more Big Hatters the opportunity to join this elite group of AMBUCS. And did I mention the good news: No Raffle Tickets to Sell!

So here’s to mixing it up, raising more money, bringing in more members and finally… Having a whole lot more fun! THAT’S WHAT WE DO! I’m excited and proud to serve as your National Big Hat President! Thank you for the opportunity! For more information contact me!

Sincerely,
Sue Eakle, 2012-13 National Big Hat President
