Josh Dallas NAHS Charity Drive kickoff June 9!

The date is set! The launch for this year's Charity Drive to benefit NAHS Theater Dept. is set for June 9, 2014. I have some specific details for the benefit as well as what exactly the funds will be used for. First off, as stated before, for every $5.00 donated you will receive a Josh Dallas exclusive sticker! I have 48 total, so make sure you enter your donations quickly because stickers may go fast. In addition, for every $5.00 donated, you will be entered into a raffle to win a number of exclusive prizes! Most items are from Josh Dallas directly and he was kind enough to autograph some 8X10s and other great items! All the items will be posted over the next week and for every raffle ticket you receive for a $5 donation, you can decide into which item you want to enter your ticket into. I'm planning on running the drive for a couple weeks to ensure everyone has ample time to enter the raffle. Tyler Bliss, Executive Director of the NAFC Education Foundation, has sent me a message to clarify where the funds will be earmarked for, which is posted below.

"The NAHS Theatre Department was accepted to perform at the prestigious International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska this summer. Many of the students are having trouble paying for the expenses involved with this trip so these proceeds will help these students be able to still attend. They are still several thousand dollars away from their goal so these proceeds will be a wonderful help to the kids, no matthew what amount! Thanks for your hard work!"

I am excited to try and help a few of these students in their quest to participate in the festival and even a tiny donation will help (and could mean winning some great prizes!) Stay tuned for updated over the next week as we get ready for our June 9 kickoff!
