For immediate release
The next of the ever-popular “Old Pueblo - Young People” fundraising
raffles (the eleventh since Old Pueblo Archaeology Center began holding
these events in 1998) will be held on March 31, 2010, as a finale for Old
Pueblo’s celebration of the annual Arizona Archaeology and Heritage
Awareness Month.
The “Old Pueblo - Young People” raffle makes it possible for Old Pueblo
to provide classroom scholarships to pay archaeology education program
fees for children whose parents and schools are too poor to afford what
we normally charge for our "Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood" programs
including the OPEN3 simulated archaeological dig field trip, our OPENOUT
in-classroom education programs for kids, and our guided archaeological
site tours for schools. Some of the raffle funds are also used to support
Old Pueblo’s day-to-day operations including program scheduling,
bookkeeping, and indirect costs.
A list of this year's raffle prizes is posted on the Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center web site at www.oldpueblo.org/raffle.html.
Our suggested donation amounts for “Old Pueblo - Young People” raffle
tickets are $20 for 12 tickets, $10 for 6, or $2 for a single ticket. If
you would like to help Old Pueblo out with our fundraising by buying or
selling raffle tickets please contact us at 520-798-1201 or

tickets online we can take your donation through our
Visa-MasterCard-Discover-Diners Club portal, enter tickets in the drawing

this fundraiser.
