Raffle to Benefit 4-H Camp Grant Walker
The Louisiana 4-H Foundation is conducting a $10,000 4-H Centennial Raffle to benefit the Grant Walker 4-H Educational Center. Tickets are $100, and only 1,000 tickets will be sold with the drawing being held on September 13, 2008, as part of the 4-H Tailgate Party that will culminate with the LSU-North Texas football game in Tiger Stadium. To purchase tickets, call the Louisiana 4-H Foundation office at (225) 578-2972 or contact your local 4-H agent.
Every parish in the state will benefit from this fundraiser. The funds generated through the raffle will be used to support environmental education initiatives at Grant Walker 4-H Educational Center. In addition, a portion of the funds will provide 4-H camp scholarships for low-income and at-risk youth.
4-H is an educational youth program of the LSU AgCenter. More than 5,000 Louisiana youth participated in 4-H Summer Camp last year.
