4-H Forever in Crawford County is a Dinner and Auction that supports the Crawford County 4-H program with scholarships for members, training for volunteers and teens, camp and other event support. Interested parties need not have a current connection to the 4-H program to participate in the Dinner/Auction which is on November 9, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. This event is open to the public whether or not you have 4-H roots or involvement.
Local businesses are wonderful supporters of the event with great donations which will be auctioned off in either the silent auction or the live auction. There usually are many items from crafts to jewelry to school gear to cookware to tools to gift certificates from local eateries, golf courses and auto maintenance places. The auction is a great place to start your Christmas shopping and support a non-profit charity too.
One of the highlights, this year, will be a pair of OSU vs. Michigan football tickets. The seats are in a great location. You will want to be there to bid on them.
Tickets are available from 4-H Advisory Committee members or go online to http://crawford.osu.edu/ and click on 4-H Youth Development then Dinner and Auction to find ticket/sponsorship form. Why not donate a sponsorship:
o $500 and reserve tables with 16 tickets
o $250 and reserve a table with 8 tickets
o $100 and reserve four tickets
o $50 and reserve two tickets.
Our challenge for local businesses, clubs, families or organizations is to send in your sponsorship and challenge another business to send more people than you.
The committee is accepting donations for the silent or live auctions and ads for the program book in addition to sponsorships. Donation forms are online at http://crawford.osu.edu and click on 4-H Youth Development then Dinner and Auction to find a donation, ad and sponsorship forms.
Hope to see you there. It promises to be a great day!
