Gracie's Gowns Events
As we have local and online events all the great information will be posted. This will also include posting about upcoming visits to Ronald McDonald Houses and fundraisers Gracie's Gowns will host to benefit other organizations as well.
Gracie's Gowns is looking to host community sewing days throughout 2018, if your business, church, group, or organization has a space that could be used for such an event, please e-mail info@graciesgowns.org with the point of contact information and availability of the space on the weekends (preferably a Saturday morning/afternoon).

A new to Gracie's Gowns fundraiser for 2017, will be completing this one-of-a-kind puzzle specifically and solely designed for this fundraiser!
Each piece is available to be sponsored, there are 1,000 pieces to this puzzle and it will be assembled as pieces are sponsored, and photos posting our progress along the way on our website, but also on our Facebook page and event as well. With each piece sponsored, is one entry into winning this special puzzle as well. The winner may choose to keep the double-sided glass and framed completed, puzzle, donate to another family/organization, or to be displayed in the Gracie's Gowns office. As each piece is sponsored, we will write the first name and last initial on the backside of each piece, if you're sponsoring more than one piece, a small message may even be able to be wrote as well - pieces can be sponsored in memory/in honor of someone too, with that information on the backside as well. The completed puzzle will be framed with glass on both sides once completed and then mailed to the winner, or wherever they designate for the puzzle to go. |

Each year Gracie's Gowns takes a piece of fabric left over from every gown request completed and sews them together into a quilt that we raffle off the following January. These funds help cover the cost of fabric and shipping throughout the year, and allow for tiny pieces to be made into something beautiful and symbolic as well.
This year's quilt design looks like a pathway and symbolizes the life of each child our organization has the opportunity to work with. As the quilt is worked on, photos will be posted to our Facebook page, in addition to Instagram, and here on our website. |

Our annual fall raffle is already coming together! Last year we gave away $2,000 in prizes throughout the month of November, and this year we will be giving away more!
How the raffle works: each day in November we draw one winner (two winners on Black Friday) from the tickets purchased. You may win more than once, but can only win once per ticket. Meaning, if you purchase 5 tickets, you could win 5 days of prizes, but if you only purchase 1 ticket, you can only win one day. The winners are drawn using random.org's number generator, and are posted with the prize they won on our Facebook page. This year we will also have a Facebook Event page for the raffle, and will post the winners inside the event as well. Tickets will be on sale throughout the year and all month during the raffle as well. Prizes will ship the following Monday, with all items arriving before the Christmas holiday. For every 100 tickets sold, we will also draw a special surprise winner for a randomly chosen item that has been donated for the raffle. This is in addition to the prizes each day. Last year we gave away two special surprise drawings as well. You will not be charged shipping costs for your raffle prize, if you would like to donate towards the shipping you may, but it is not required. |
