Sweet Louise Fundraiser
Hello,
For those who aren't familiar with me or what I am doing. I am a Feilding born and bred local named Shahmea Nowakowsky, who has committed to walking 50K this May to help provide support for men and women living with advanced and incurable breast cancer. I am fundraising for the charity Sweet Louise which provides some amazing support free of charge, for those in need. The charity does not receive NZ Government funding and therefore relies on the hard work of fundraisers like me, and the generous support of donors, to continue to be able to help those who need it.
I have raised $683 so far and smashed my goal of 50km!!!!
I am shocked to have raised so much. My goal was $500 and even that seemed quite high. I want to thank my generous supporters and the businesses backing me, who have helped me achieve this goal. I never could have gotten this far without you all.
💪 I may be over my goal of $500 and I may have walked 50K this May, but the month isn't over yet. Which means, I'm not done yet! I am continuing to do my part to help Sweet Louise. I believe it is a worthy cause and would love to receive any and all support I can get in my fundraising to support it. See below for how you can help with my fundraising cause and support me:
👉 For every $1 donated, I will walk an extra 100m. So donate $10 and I'll walk an extra 1km. If you want to get behind my fundraising cause and if you want to motivate me to walk even further - even $1 helps. Seriously. You can donate to my cause here: walk50kthismay.nz...
👉 I currently have a raffle going that gives you 4 chances of winning.
The prizes are the following:
- 1st prize: One large custom ice cream cake (RPP $50). Feeds 20 people.
- 2nd prize: 4x $5 ice cream vouchers.
- 3rd prize: 4x $5 ice cream vouchers.
- 4th prize: 2x $5 ice cream vouchers.
Tickets are $3 and I have 55 still to sell. These tickets MUST GO for the raffle to be drawn. All proceeds go to Sweet Louise, I do not profit from this at all.
If you want to purchase a ticket - you can do so here: m.facebook.com...
Thank you, Shahmea xx
