LSUS fund-raiser aimed at scholarships for nonprofits 11/08/01

Employees and volunteers of local nonprofit organizations will be among the beneficiaries of a fund-raising effort being conducted by the Nonprofit Administration Programs at LSU in Shreveport.

The grand prize in the Dec. 14 drawing is the winner’s choice of a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck or a Chevrolet Cavalier (basic five-speed model with A/C and radio). The winner’s Chevy, which will come from Red River Chevrolet, is being provided at a reduced cost by LSUS alumnus Jim Fritze. Other prizes include gift certificates from Porter’s Cleaners, Savoie’s, Academy Sports, Goodwill Stores, The Home Depot and Office Depot.

Net profit from the sale of as many as 75,000 tickets will go into the scholarship fund for the Nonprofit Administration Programs, including undergraduate and graduate scholarships, as well as a new scholarship to be established for employees or volunteers of local nonprofit organizations.

Tickets are being sold for $1 each, and will be available each Saturday through Dec. 8 at South Park Mall and Pierremont Mall. Tickets will also be sold this Saturday and next Saturday in front of the Brookshire’s store on Line Avenue.

Tickets are also available Monday through Friday in Bronson Hall, Room 355, on the LSUS campus, or by calling Michelle Landrum, Development Coordinator for Nonprofit Administration Programs at 318-795-4261.
