Hello OLSHF Trustees,

As mentioned at Saturday's OLSHF Trustee Meeting, one way that you can be an OLSHF "Ambassador" is to help us generate support for our sight and hearing programs by helping our Galaween event on October 18th be a successful fundraiser.

A fun way to do this is to connect with other Lions Clubs -- and YOUR Lions Club! -- to generate donations of gift cards for our annual Gift Card Challenge.

All gift cards donated for the Gift Card Challenge are used to complement existing oral and silent auction items - One $50 gift card can lead to an auction bid of hundreds -- if not thousands!!! -- of dollars for our programs.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Here is some info:

The Gift Card Challenge is BACK — and better than ever!

Get ready to rally your Lions Club and make a big impact for OLSHF’s Galaween auction!

Here’s the deal:

Every $50 in gift card donations = 1 raffle entry

Your club could WIN a Helen Keller Award or a Norm Ross Award — to honor a deserving member of your choosing through OLSHF!

The more you give, the more chances you have to win! (Ex: $200 = 4 entries!)

Deadline to donate: October 10th

Questions? Reach out to us at ga...@olshf.org — we’d love to hear from you!

Let’s make this year’s auction unforgettable — bring on those gift cards and let the challenge begin!
