Personal Giving Campaign
	This campaign annually seeks contributions from members to support the work of NCJW on both the national and international level.

Shirley's Hot Tix Raffle
	Raffle tickets are sold for $10.00 each to interested members and friends. Tickets are entered into a drawing and three winners are drawn each month, $100, $50 or $25. Tickets are good for nine monthly drawings. This project is named for Shirley Kline, a longtime NCJW member, Hot Tix chairperson, and saleswoman extraordinaire.

Tributes
	Members are invited to purchase NCJW Tribute cards. A tribute is a thoughtful way to express oneҳ good wishes or condolences and, at the same time, support NCJW. Tribute cards are purchased by members and can be used when a significant event occurs. The member sends the card to the special individual or, as a service, the card can be mailed to the recipient by the Tributes chairperson. Tribute cards come in several denominations. Cards are published both by South Cook and by NCJW, Inc.

New Fundraising Initiatives
	New sources of fundraising are continually explored. We welcome suggestions for fundraising opportunities.
