New this Year at the All Fellows Luncheon: Win a Ticket to Ride the Krewe of IRIS Float at Mardi Gras (for you or someone else!)
All Proceeds Benefit the American College of Bankruptcy Foundation.
Founded in 1917, the Krewe of Iris is the oldest women's and largest Krewe in New Orleans, and YOU can win a ticket to ride. By donating $100 at the All Fellows luncheon, your name will be added to the "hat" for a drawing in Seattle. And yes, you may enter more than once! Raffle tickets are only available in Seattle, and only those present may win.
Sorry guys - this ride is for ladies only, but you can enter to win for a friend or family member for the experience of a lifetime.
Donate Today!
The need, and demand, for pro bono bankruptcy services has never been greater than it is now. If the bankruptcy bar will not support these services, who will? Please give—if not an hour of your time, then, at least, an hour of your money.
If you would like to make a Charitable Donation through your IRA, the Foundation's EIN is 01-0656156, address American College of Bankruptcy Foundation, 1111B S Governors Ave, Suite 20335, Dover, DE 19904.
