Short Term Mission Fundraising Opportunities

It's that time of the year again, when our college group bands together to raise money for our short term missions trips. We have an annual volleyball tournament at UCLA and raffle on April 12th that will help raise a good portion of the money to send many students to various parts of the world, so that they can help minister to the missionaries there and to other locals. Each student is required to raise $100, so for our family of two that means we have to raise $200.

My husband and I love having people over, so we plan on raising our $200 entrance fee by having a fund raising dinner in our home. This would allow our family who we would invite over for dinner anyway, to have the opportunity of sponsoring us. For every $10 they donate they will receive one entry into a raffle for a custom-made apron.


Another way we are planning on raising money for short term missions is by donating one of my aprons from my etsy store. This will not only raise money for missions, but also be a great way to advertise my items to the students in our college group.

In addition to that, we will also be raffling off a chance to win a steak dinner for two at our house, and 4 sewing lessons for learning how to sew or for assistance with a current sewing project. SO, if your planning on going to the volleyball tournament, make sure you bring plenty of extra cash for the raffle, because there are going to be some really good prizes this year!!!
