Farm Bureau Foundation hosts 25th Anniversary Cash Bash

Posted

AMBOY – 2018 marks the 25th Anniversary for the Lee County Farm Bureau Foundation.  The foundation humbly started 25 years ago with the goal of awarding local agriculture students with scholarships.  In the past 25 years, they are proud to have awarded 73 scholarships to local youth pursuing higher education in agriculture.
The Foundation has expanded over the years to other youth agricultural education programs including the Lee County Ag in the Classroom program and the Books by the Bushel grant program.
 The farm bureau is celebrating with a 25th Anniversary Cash Bash Fundraiser with the goal of raising $25,000 in honor of the 25th Anniversary. The Cash Bash will be held on Thursday, Aug. 16 at the Post House in Dixon. A dinner and raffle will be held, awarding $8,750 in prizes.

The grand prize ticket will receive $5,000 and the individual who sells the winning ticket will also win $500. Other awards include $1,500, $1,000, $500, and $250 to lucky second through fifth place prize winners. Tickets cost $100 and will include two meals, however, you do not need to be present to win.
 All proceeds benefit the Lee County Farm Bureau Foundation. Tickets can be purchased at the Lee County Farm Bureau, area participating businesses, through volunteers or online at www.lcfbfoundation.org. Only 250 tickets will be sold.  If you would like to purchase a ticket or volunteer to help sell tickets, please contact the office, (815) 857-3531.
