​2023 YEAR-END RAFFLE & DONATION APPEAL 

In 2022, your support helped to defray increased expenses to our facility, such as high electric bills due to the running of the HVAC fans needed  for the UV sterilization to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. It was also necessary to upgrade our fire alarm system control panel interface to meet 5G standards. We also installed new door systems to increase security. Six doors in the JCI Building that are beyond repair will be replaced before the end of this year. Each year, we experience an increase in the amount of major repairs, replacements, and expenses for our facilities and grounds that are over 50 years old. We ask for your help again with this 2023 Year-End Raffle & Donation Appeal!

HOW YOU CAN HELP: There are TWO ways that will help us tremendously. 
1) Purchase GVJCI year-end raffle tickets. Ticket cost is $2.00 per ticket or $20.00 per book.  

Enter for your chance to win one of five cash prizes of (2) $250, (2) $500, and $1,000! Raffle drawing will take place on Friday, January 27, 2023 at 10:00 AM. Participants need not be present to win!One prize per person. Please note - only adults (21+) can win.
RAFFLE TICKETS:  If you're on our snail mailing list, tickets were mailed in November 2022. Additional raffle tickets can be mailed upon request, please leave a message at 310-324-6611, or you can email us at info@jci-gardena.org.  

           
2) Donate an additional monetary gift, which is tax deductible as a Charitable Contribution. If you would like to see GVJCI continue serving the community of people young and old, please help us along this path by making an additional tax deductible gift of $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or more before December 31st.   

Thank you very much for your support that you give to GVJCI. We wish you and your family a healthy and joyous holiday season!
