FUNDRAISER at City Barbeque in Johns Creek Required

City Barbeque will give us 25% of the sales of food that night (IF people tell them that they are there to support our mission trip). In order for this to be beneficial - it is critical that you ADVERTISE this ALOT. Those that advertise this will get a portion of the proceeds from the evening. In order to qualify for a portion of the proceeds, you will need to text a photograph of your advertisement to Melanie and Tori. We can not advertise/solicit from the restaurant - but this will be a fun time for us to have dinner together.

Ways to advertise:
- Social Media
-Have your parents and friends share it on social media
-Print out fliers and place in all of the teachers' mailboxes at your school
-Print fliers and pass them out at your school
-Write details on poster board and advertise at school
-Share with any friends/teammates from any clubs you participate with (e.g., basketball, drama, debate)
-Share with your small group at Inside Out
-Send an email to the parents if you volunteer at UpStreet or Transit
-Share on your neighborhoods' HOA website.

If you think of any other wonderful ways to advertise - please let me know. And please let's support our team by everyone doing a great job advertising. This is part of serving others. <3

Tickets are $15, and with tax/fees, the cost is about $20 per ticket. When someone purchases a ticket at the above website, they will be prompted to enter a promo code. The promo code is: NORTHPOINT.
