When you participate in our fundraiser, you’re not only supporting youth mentoring in Brookings County—you’re also unlocking some fun! Each sheet gives you access to free activities and treats at local businesses AND automatically enters you into our prize drawings starting April 14th on our socials.

It’s a win-win: enjoy local adventures while making a difference for BCYMP youth!

-----

Our fundraiser gives you the opportunity to support BCYMP Matches and celebrate the power of shared activities to strengthen relationships and build memories. Brought to you by our Event Sponsor, First Bank & Trust, Ticket Sheets feature favorite activities that participants in BCYMP and others enjoy in Brookings!

Here's How It Works:

During April, BCYMP will sell ticket sheets with five tear-off activity tickets, one each to Cinema 8, The Lanes, Dakota Nature Park, Meadow Creek Golf (Volga), and a treat at Cool as Ice. Each ticket will cost $50 but have a face value of over $100 in shared experiences and fun memories for buyers to enjoy with their friends and families. If you'd prefer, we welcome tickets to be donated back to BCYMP for a Match to use as their Mentoring Activity.

Each Ticket Sheet purchase will also give the purchaser entry into any remaining April drawings. (Earlier you buy ticket sheet = more drawings you will be a part of!) If you choose to purchase multiple ticket sheets or make an add a donation onto your initial ticket sheet purchase you will be entered into a Bonus drawing that will happen May 1st! Prizes include multiple chances at a $100 VISA Gift Card (donated by Central Bank), Kool Beans basket including a gift card, Eponymous, Craft, and more! DRAWINGS START APRIL 14!
