Dear Community Supporter:

Cresson Public Library will host its 3rd Annual Basket Raffle on October 25, 2026 at the Cresson American Legion during the Cresson Lions Club Pancake Breakfast. By donating a basket, you’re helping make the raffle a success while showing your support for the library and our community.

Your Support Matters:

• Bridge the Funding Gap: State aided funding has remained the same since 2003, while the cost of maintaining quality services, operational expenses, and educational programs continues to rise. Your support helps us keep the library open, strong, and serving the community 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 great way to put your business in front of local community members while showing your support for the library.
• Your Gift Gives Back: Your basket donation is tax-deductible, making it a meaningful way to support the library while also benefitting your business. EIN: 25-1221376 and Tax ID: 75-011602.

How You Can Help:

• Donate a full basket, gift certificates, or goods for a combined basket – *cannot accept alcoholic beverages as a donation item*
• Drop off your donation at the library between October 1-20 during library hours or call for a volunteer to pick it up

Thank you for considering a basket donation to this year’s raffle. We’d be happy to answer any questions by calling the library at 814-886-2619.

Sincerely,

Bronwyn Katdaré, Director, Cresson Public Library
