“One Tribe, One Child" Wampum Pledge

We are asking each tribe to pledge their yearly wampum at the Fall Outing to WeBuildPeople, helping send kids to summer camp that would otherwise not be able to afford the opportunity. 

This year, it will cost $150.00 to send a child to camp.  When you pledge your wampum at the Fall Outing, each member of the tribe will receive a WeBuildPeople patch.  As an added bonus, those tribes that raise $500.00 or more are eligible to enter a prize drawing for some amazing gifts.  These prizes include free Spring Outing for an entire tribe, free Winter Inning tickets for an entire tribe, and the ability to choose your cabin at the Spring Outing.

Please talk with your tribe before the Fall Outing to decide how much wampum to donate to help send kids to camp.  If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer for the WeBuildPeople Campaign please contact Matt Strickland at 919.582.2266 or matt.strickland@ymcatriangle.org. 

We look forward to collecting all of your Wampum Pledge Cards at the Fall Outings in October and November.  Thank you again for your time and consideration.  Listed below are the details and rules for the $500 Wampum Pledge.

Details and Rules:

• Your tribe must donate $500.00 at or before the 2007 Fall Outing using a Wampum Pledge Card to qualify
• All pledge cards must be received by the last Fall Outing on November 18th, 2007 to qualify
• All tribes pledging will be sent an invoice in April of 2008
• You may use corporate matching to achieve the $500.00 level
• The prize drawing will occur on Tuesday, November 20th at which point we will place all of the tribe names that donated at the $500.00 level into a hat and pull out one name at a time.  We will call each winning tribe on the phone as we pull their tribe name.  The chief can select from all of the available prizes and choose for his tribe.  As each prize is selected, it will no longer be available to the remaining winning tribes. 
• We have 6 prizes currently available for the winners to choose from on a first-come-first-serve basis:
  (1) FREE 2008 Spring Outing for an entire tribe
  (1) FREE 2008 Winter Inning Tickets for an entire tribe, limit 2 per pair
  (4) Choose your cabin at the 2008 Spring Outing 
• For every $100.00 a tribe donates over the $500.00 level, their tribe name will be placed in the hat again (i.e. $600.00 donation = tribe name placed in the prize drawing 2 times and $700.00 donation = tribe name placed in the prize drawing 3 times)
• Prizes must be used in the 2007-2008 Y-Guides Program year 
• Prizes may not be traded for any other YMCA event, service, membership, product, and/or merchandise
• Prizes may not be redeemed for their cash value
