QIFD is holding a raffle to help the victims of the recent school collapse in Haiti.  In mid-November, 2008 Haiti received another devastating blow. There was a massive collapse of a school in the capital.   More than 100 kids were killed and dozens of others hurt – some of them with life long debilitating injuries.  It was such a horrific site and unfortunately it hit close to home as we had QIFD staff members who lost family members. 

QIFD has decided to hold a raffle to raise money for a school fund we have set up to help the victims of this awful disaster as well as the family members who lost their children.  The funds raised will help families pay for on going medical care for children badly hurt and we will also establish a scholarship fund to help those children that survived get back to school as well as other children that have difficulty to pay for schooling.  We work with a consortium of community schools that we provide teacher training to so we will set up the scholarships with these schools so we can ensure the kids that receive scholarships receive a good education.

Tickets cost $15 or 4 for $50.  The prizes include: First: 1 week (all inclusive) Lake Vacation at Smith Mountain Lake in a 5 bedroom luxury house on the lake (complete with speedboat, pontoon boat plus access to all club facilities including pool, tennis courts, golf course, work out facilities and restaurants; Second: $ 500 Cash; Third: $250 Gift Certificate to Best Buy; Fourth: Ipod.
