Capitola Soroptimists Sponsored Spring Fund-Raising
CAPITOLA — Soroptimist International (SI) of Capitola-By-The-Sea is currently selling raffle tickets for a one-week stay at a luxury Victoria, British Columbia condominium as a spring fund-raiser with proceeds to be used for Soroptimist programs.
The two-bedroom, one bath condominium is located two blocks from the BC museum and the world-famous Empress Hotel with a 180-degree view of the Olympic Mountains and Strait of Juan de Fuca to the inner Victoria harbor. Travel is valid until October 31, 2015 and is subject to availability. Total value of the raffle prize is $1,650. Airfare and transportation are not included.
Tickets are $100 each and only 100 tickets will be sold, making the odds of winning 1-in-100. Tickets can be purchased from any Capitola Soroptimist member, or by calling (831) 684-0181. The drawing to determine the winner will be held on June 2 at an as yet to be determined location. Ticket holders need not be present to win, however, drawings for additional prizes for those attending will be included.
“We think this is a great opportunity for a fabulous, luxury vacation for a nominal cost of $100,” said SI President Kristin Rohan. “A couple of best friends can share the cost of the raffle ticket and make it an even more affordable and awesome experience they can share.”
Proceeds will support Capitola Soroptimist’s programs including the Live Your Dream education and training awards for women, and the Dream It, Be It career support for girls in secondary schools who face obstacles to their future success.
