Dear Community Supporter:

Last year, the Cresson Public Library held our very first basket raffle and the community response blew us away.

We’re excited to host our 2nd Annual Basket Raffle on October 26, 2025 at the Cresson American Legion during the Cresson Lions Club Pancake Breakfast and we need your support in making it both fun and successful. When a business like yours donates a basket, your generosity becomes part of the story.

When a business like yours donates a basket, your generosity becomes part of the story.

Why Your Support Matters:

  • Bridge the Gap in Funding: The state is late passing a budget, which delays our funding. Even when state aid does arrive, it has remained the same since the early 2000s, while the cost of maintaining quality services, operational expenses, and educational programs continues to rise. Your support helps ensure our community’s library stays open and thriving despite these challenges.
  • Promote Your Business: Every basket and donor will be highlighted on our social media leading up to the raffle. It’s a wonderful way to spotlight your business, share your generosity, and connect with community members in a positive and visible way.
  • Your Gift Gives Back: Your basket donation is tax-deductible, making your contribution impactful and beneficial to your business. Our EIN: 25-1221376 and Tax ID: 75-011602.

How You Can Help:

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact. If you have any questions, please contact us at 814-886-2619. We look forward to partnering with you!

Sincerely,

Bronwyn Katdaré, Director, Cresson Public Library
