The Carnival & Silent Auction raised over $21,000 (profit) last year!
100% of the profit goes directly back to LTE.
We try to cover our costs with sponsorship money so that all money made
the day of the carnival is pure profit!!
If your company sponsors at the $500 level and up we will put your
company logo on a reusable grocery bag (800 bags!)that will be handed out
at the carnival. AND you may put marketing materials in the bag (business
card, coupon, pen, etc).
