The United Way has begun their annual campaign for charitable donations.
GAR would truly appreciate your designating Gainesville Area Rowing as your designated non-profit organization to receive your charitable donation.
The following information should help you to designate GAR on the form that United Way passes out to employees:
Gainesville Area Rowing is a 501(c)(3) organization and is therefore is exempt from paying federal income tax.
Gainesville Area Rowing’s Federal Tax ID Number is 59-3541801.
If you have not received your United Way form, you should be any day now. Please remember GAR – we need more boats and ergs!
This popular fund raiser, where parents cook and rowers work as waiters, is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2009. GAR expects each rower to sell 10 tickets at $7 each and participate at the breakfast. Depending on the success of the fall fundraising activities, there is the possibility of a second breakfast in the spring.
Some businesses have identified themselves as “Friends of GAR.” The Perfect Gift in Haile Plantation Village and Omni Books in Westgate Plaza have both agreed to donate 10% to GAR of every sale made to people who identify themselves as associated with GAR. Please support these businesses.
Rowing photos from regattas and practice are available on-line at www.garphoto.smugmug.com. GAR receives 65% of the sales price of every photo.
By signing up with Albertsons Community Partners Program, GAR will receive a percentage of all your Albertsons purchases. See Len Tomlinson for more details.
