Girls Incorporated of Oak Ridge is raffling off 20 incredible prizes to help fundraise for their organization this fall, a press release said.

From August 1 until November 3, Girls Inc. will be selling entry tickets to win one of 20 electronic prizes.

The prizes include a 47-inch flat screen television, an Apple iMac 21.5-inch computer, Yamaha outdoor speakers, an HP Laptop, Xbox 360 with Kinect, PlayStation 4, Nikon D3100 Camera, and many more, the press release said.

Entry tickets are just $5 per entry and can be purchased through November 3. Twenty lucky winners will be drawn on November 3 at Girls Inc. by the 2013-2014 Girls’ of the Month, the release said.

“ORNL Federal Credit Union generously donated all of the prizes for the raffle,” the release said.

All funds raised from the raffle will go towards Girls Inc. programming for the upcoming year. The fundraiser helps to ensure scholarships for girls, program supplies for after school, sports and summer camp, as well as funds for new programs to be introduced, the release said.

Girls Inc. currently serves more than 600 girls annually in their center-based and outreach programs. They offer five research-based curriculums within their after school programming to help in building curiosity, education, and engagement with all of their participants, the release said.

Girls Inc. offers seven full sports seasons throughout the year as well as a full-day summer and break camp.

As a nonprofit organization, fundraisers such as these help to ensure that Girls Inc. continues to offer fun, engaging, and quality programming in a safe environment to help inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, the release said.
