A little story about this years event from the event director
This is our third year at Cook AA. Our sponsor count is similar to the past, but when all is said and done, our total is up by 30%!!! We are astonished at the final amount and still today, can't figure out why. We did have over 100 attendees for the first time. If we count every attendee as say, $50, there's possibly another $2,000 there. Our auction items are up a little, and some of them bring in big dollars. Foley's Shop n Bag comes on board as a new sponsor, and platinum at that. Everything helps!!! We increase the number of raffle tickets for sale again this year. We go to 2000. It puts less pressure on everyone and leaves plenty of tickets for people attending the event to buy some. We sell over 1600 of them this year, and with the prizes the same as last year, profit about $6,000. 2013 is the first year we use an online payment option. While I don't think it generates any additional donations, it makes it easy for many people and removes a pile of checks from the mix.
