Gift Card Tree Raffle

Dear Conservatory of Fine Arts Families,
It’s been about a week since our 2021 Direct Appeal letter was emailed out to all of
you. We want to give a big shoutout to those who have already donated. Thank you
very much!
In the spirit of giving…
We are excited to share with you an opportunity to “give” some more love if you can to
FOVA and the Conservatory of Arts Program by participating in our 2021 FOVA “Gift
Card Giving Tree” raffles. You’ll have the chance to win one of our “Gift Card Giving
Trees”!
What is a “Gift Card Giving Tree”?
We are raffling off two decorative LED tabletop “Gift Card Giving Trees”, each
adorned with $200 worth of gift cards in various denominations to some of your
favorite stores and restaurants. You win both the tree and the gift cards that are
attached! Use the gift cards for yourself, for your loved ones, or re-gift them during the
holiday season. They’re yours to do with them as you please :)
- How much are raffle tickets? How do I purchase them? It’s easy :)
Raffle tickets are 1 ticket for $5, or 5 tickets for $20.
Simply log onto FOVA.org and click on the PayPal button. You will see a photo of
both “Giving Trees” to be raffled off, along with a description of the gift cards included
with each tree.
There is a “Write a Note” section on PayPal’s payment screen. Please be sure to
include your name, and which raffle tree (Tree #1 or Tree #2) you would like your
tickets to be entered into.
When can I purchase my raffle tickets? When will the winners be selected?
You have from now until December 10th to purchase raffle tickets via PayPal. On the
morning of December 11th, we will publicly draw a winner via Zoom for each “Giving
Tree”. This is the link to the Zoom meeting:

Direct Appeal

Dear Conservatory of Fine Arts Families,

We hope that you and your children are healthy and are enjoying the 2021-2022 session of LAUSD’s Conservatory of Fine Arts program. Although we miss seeing the students and families in person, we are happy that our instructors and staff have been working tirelessly to bring the very best, socially distanced visual arts instruction to your children!

We are kicking off our annual Direct Appeal and we’re asking for your support to help ensure that our students get the very best instruction that they can this session. How can you help? It’s simple; your generous donation to FOVA will help offer vital support to the Conservatory of Fine Arts Program.

Simply log on to FOVA.org and click on the PayPal button. Please be sure to include your child’s full name and the name of the class (Ringgold, Artisan1) in the notes section.

What are donations used for?
