23rd Annual Rose Sale
Sale Dates: February 19 - March 30, 2018
Pick-Up and Delivery Day: Tuesday, April 17, 2018
Let someone know that you care and support the work of The Arc Mower County by supporting our 23rd Annual Rose Sale.
Where Promise Lives, Hope Blossoms!
All proceeds from The Arc’s Rose Sale benefit children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities including Down syndrome, Cerebral palsy, Autism and Epilepsy. One in ten families has a member with a disability. Your participation in Arc’s Rose Sale provides critical funding for programs and services.
We need your help?
Any level of support is appreciated. Here are a few suggestions:
- At your work – coordinate a rose sale! You can pre-sell roses by emailing your co-workers and encouraging them to order. Call The Arc with a group rose order and the roses can be delivered to your office!
- In your neighborhood – ask your neighbors, friends and family to order roses.
- Brighten someone’s day – order roses to give to your customers or employees to show how much you appreciate them.
- Volunteer - Rose Sale coordinators are needed throughout Austin and the surrounding communities to coordinate rose sales at local churches, businesses, etc.
- In School - School groups can sell individual roses to support their peers that attend activities.
- Volunteers are needed to help with pick-up and delivery day on Tuesday, April 17, 2018. Register to volunteer at http://bit.ly/2zSyB9b
