Bocce Tournament Fundraiser

Local Northwood Elementary 5th grader, Noah Zielinski, has been nominated to attend the Jr National Youth Leadership Conference this summer in Washington DC. This program encourages future leaders to earn their tuition and travel expenses. You can learn more about this wonderful program at http://www.cylc.org/jrnylc.

Noah has organized a Bocce Tournament to raise funds for his trip. Pizza, snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the event.

Each team will consist of four players. The cost is $5 per person/$20 a team. The winning team will get a prize basket containing gift certificates from local businesses. Some of which include $75 to Buffalo Wild Wings, Julian Brothers Bakery and Doc Sweets.

In addition to the Bocce Tournament, Noah will be raffling 7 Kalahari Day passes (over a $300 value) to Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio.

For every $5 donated (including the bocce tournament fee) your name will be entered in the raffle. If you cannot attend the tournament but would like to have a chance to win the Kalahari passes you can donate on Noah’s web page http://www.gofundme.com/2qvmk by April 30th. Please include your email and phone number so he can contact you if you win. He will draw the winner at the end of the tournament.
