A message from our chair:
EWRI sponsors 2 scholarships every year, $1500 each. This fundraiser helps to finance those.
The intent of the fundraiser is for half the money to go to the winners and half goes to the scholarship.
If every square was sold this would generate $1250 for the EWRI scholarships. If we get a sponsor for $250 we fully cover 1 scholarship. $1500.
Our Chicago Chapter would like to increase these scholarships to $2000 each in the future, but we need your help.
Let's make this annual fundraiser a success.
EWRI - Chicago Chapter has an email list of 600+ members, and we have 320 active members in the Illinois Section.
Approximately 10% of those 320 active members have decided to donate to our EWRI Scholarship.
And approximately 160-190 people have viewed our email blast advertising the fundraiser.
There are only 100 squares available, yet we still have 33 remaining.
This fundraiser helps support our next generation of EWRI members in their college education.
For only $25 (less than 7 cents per day) you can help a student.
Or if you want to go above and beyond please consider being a sponsor of this event for $250.
Even if you cannot donate, help us recruit 33 more entries.
Anyone can participate, Parents, Friends, Peers.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks,
-Andrew
