HELP MAKE THE RAFFLE BASKETS FUN!
We are very excited to once again hold the Basket Raffle on the day of the 5K and Fun Run on Sunday April 27th!! Anyone wishing to participate in the raffle (not just runners!!) will be able to purchase raffle tickets in advance through the link on this webpage and place them into the drawing for any of the baskets. Following the run events, a raffle ticket will be chosen at random for each basket being offered -- you do not need to be present to win!
We are seeking donations to fill the baskets to be raffled off. For convenience, each grade level has been assigned a theme and a corresponding Amazon Wish List for each has been created. We've also created a few other fun basket ideas, in addition to the grade level themes. Purchases from the list will be sent directly to the 5k & Fun Run Event Committee Lead!
While there is a wish list for each grade, you are welcome to purchase new items for any theme. If you have a great donation item and prefer to drop it off, please do so starting April 1st and no later than April 23rd at Wolftrap front office. Email the 5k team at wolftrap5k@gmail.com for any additional coordination.
Additional Basket Ideas:
All donations need to be delivered to the 5k team no later than Wednesday, April 23rd. Thank you for your support!
