Please see the message from the intrepid organizers of Goochland Day, to be held on September 25, 2021.You can read about Goochland Day and the parade at www.goochlandday.com.
We’ve committed to keeping this event FREE to the public. COVID has really hit families and businesses very hard. Thus, although we have some INCREDIBLE sponsors, we had to come up with something to cover some of the ancillary costs, which add up very quickly. The parade costs, GC Sheriff’s Deputies, GCPS costs for transportation, games, entertainment, etc – and on and on – all real costs that cannot be given away to us – must be paid.
We came up with a donation path that allows one person to win $1,000. We are selling 200 tickets at $25 each for a gross of $5,000. One person will win $1,000 – and does not have to be present at Goochland Day to win. This will net Goochland Day $4,000 before the credit card fees (giving us around $3,700). This will take us across the finish line in funding for the event.
If my calculations are correct, with the vendor booth fees, sponsorships, and selling of all the tickets, we should have about $1,400 to carry over to the spring event. Thus, it’s actually rather important that we sell all these tickets.
Tickets to win $1,000 and support Goochland Day can be obtained at www.tinyurl.com/GDayR21 .
