| How does Quota raise funds for its projects? • Quota has an annual fundraiser to earn funds for our service
projects. Traditionally, we have opted for one big fundraiser.
We don't have car washes, bake sales or sell magazines. For
40 years our annual Style Show had raised monies to fund our
service projects. Since 2003, we have sponsored the "Quo-Ta-Ble
Extravaganza", during which we invite area businesses and individuals
to decorate themed tables, enjoy a delicous meal and participate
in both a live and a silent auction. |
