E Coosb EEWA: The way it is Needed Letters to the editor support for B&G Club 50-50 raffle By Yvonne Iverson Last Saturday the Warm Springs Boys & Girls Club held their annual fundraiser and cleared over $15,000 to help keep the Club open. Festivities kicked off with an 18-hole G o 1 f z Spilyay Scram ble at Speaks the Kah-Nee- Ta G o lf K.............." Course. Team O r eg on Embroidery took first place, followed by Team Kah-Nee- Ta and Team Platt. Events continued into the evening with a buffet dinner and auction at the Lodge, with kids from the Club providing entertainment. This event is important in keeping Club doors open to provide^ a safe place for kids to go after school, on no school days and during the summer. Nearly 60 kids depend on the Club every day and with the new CPS Center being built the future of the Club is unknown. T he Club currently receives 25 percent o f its., funding to operate from the Tribal general fund. The other 75 percent comes from grants, mem berships, and fundraising. The 2014 tribal budget shows funding for the Club has been reduced to zero. At a parent m eeting held in February options were discussed. Fundraising will need to increase and expenses will need to be decreased to continue operating the Club at its current capacity. The Vern Jackson Home where the Club is currendy located has infrastructure issues similar to those of CPS, and new location plans have been discussed. This fundraising event will help o ffset the cost o f operations, but a separate fundraising campaign would need to be done to provide a location for the Boys and Girls Club. After school programs like the Club and the Center have been proven to decrease crime and increase education success. According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and D elinquency P revention, “Violent crimes by juveniles peak in the afternoo n between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., the hour at the end of the school day.” It is important for our kids to have a safe place to go after school.

The 50-50 raffle fundraising simply involves the sale of raffle tickets with the proceeds being split evenly between the winner and the organization.
