Gloria. Please include this on our agenda for our next Chapter meeting. I know we've participated in this before the Pandemic hit.

Subject: [Ohio-Talk] The Piggest Ever Raffle

Fellow Federationists:

As we all know, it takes money to run the many programs we operate to change what it means to be blind. As a non-profit organization, we depend on donations and fundraising activities to raise the money we need for things like helping newly blind Ohioans, protecting the rights of blind parents, ensuring that blind Ohioans have access to safe medication via accessible prescription labels, and improving the employment opportunities for blind Ohioans.

This year our first Affiliate wide fundraiser is the annual Piggest Raffle Ever. In this fundraiser, you can buy a $5 raffle ticket for the opportunity to win $10,000, $5,000, or a Cincinnati weekend getaway valued at $1,500. The Piggest Ever Raffle is part of the annual Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. The best part of this fundraiser for the NFB is that we receive 100% of each $5 ticket sold by the organization. At a recent meeting, we set a goal to raise $3,000 via this fundraiser. While we are on the board and have some ticket sales, we are a long long way from that goal.

So today I am asking that everyone go to http://piggestraffleever.com/ and buy as many tickets as you are comfortable with. I started with 5 tickets for $25 for myself. Remember to click on the drop-down menu and select the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio as the organization you are buying tickets from. If you don't select the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio as your organization, we will not get credit for the sale or the money from the tickets you purchase.

Of course, we don't just want our members to be the ones purchasing tickets, so also make sure that you share this fundraiser with your friends and networks. This is a great opportunity for anyone to help our efforts to improve what it means to be blind in Ohio while also having a chance to add as much as $10,000 to their own bank accounts.

So go buy those tickets now. The drawing will take place Saturday, May 1, 2022. Online ticket sales will continue through Friday, April 30, 2022.
Let's go raise at least $3,000 for the NFB of Ohio, and please let me know if you have any questions.
