[Nfbf-l] NFBF Cruise Fundraider FAQ

[Dan Hicks]

There are still quite a few questions making the rounds about our Cruise for
two fundraiser. 

 

Here are the answers to some of the Frequently Asked Questions: 

 

1.     Are we still selling tickets for the Cruise for Two Raffle?

 

A.    Yes we are! Please proceed to sell as many tickets as you can and
don't forget to buy some for yourself .

 

2.     How much are the tickets selling for?

 

A.    The tickets are $5.00 each, no discounts for buying multiple tickets. 

 

3.     What is the prize in the Raffle?

 

A.    The prize is a certificate valued at $750.00, which is typically the
price of a three-day, two-night cruise for two with an inside cabin. You
might be able to find a longer cruise or upgraded accommodations (outside
view, balcony, etc.) for that price, and if so, you may use the certificate
for that cruise. The winner also has the option of adding to the certificate
for upgrades or a longer cruise, bringing more people along, etc. 

 

4.     What cruiseline(s) will honor the winner's certificate?  What
destinations will be available? What port must the winner depart from? 

 

A.    We have not yet purchased the certificate. So, we should be able to
accommodate any cruiseline, any standard cruise destination, leaving from
any port. The value of the certificate will be $750.00. Any additional costs
are the responsibility of the winner. 

 

5.     What prize will be awarded to the chapter which sells the most
tickets?

 

A.    The chapter which sells the most tickets and turns in the most money
will receive a similar cruise certificate or $750. 00. We realize that a
chapter may not have use for a cruise certificate, so we will give the
chapter the option of receiving $750.00 in cash for the chapter's treasury. 

 

This fundraiser is a great opportunity for each of our chapters to earn some
money to help members attend our state and national conventions and for
other important projects.
