eTextile SB Raffle Fundraiser

eTextile Springbreak (ESB) should be accessible. In working towards that goal, we have set up a scholarship fund where donations in any amount are accepted and will contribute to the participation cost of those who need support. 

Contribute to the scholarship by participating in a raffle! Our four co-organizers, Victoria Manganiello, Nicole Messier, Lara Grant, and Sasha de Koninck, have donated and curated incredible prizes including individual project consultations, comics, and original artworks! 

The raffle period will run from June 7th- July 4th, with one prize being raffled per week, and one winner announced each week. We will have four different prizes for you to win! A $10 donation will enter your name in once for the raffle. You can make as many donations as you like, to enter your name multiple times into the raffle – a $150 donation is equal to 15 raffle entries!

 

How to Participate

All donations are non-refundable. Winners are required to cover the cost of shipping. You can participate by sending your donations to @Sasha-deKoninck on Venmo. Please include your name, Instagram handle, and email address with each donation. Each raffle will be announced on a Tuesday, and close the following Sunday. Winners will be announced on Mondays.
