The Santa Cruz County Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), is sponsoring an drawing to benefit Tech Trek, a summer camp experience for seventh grade girls who are passionate about science, technology, engineering and math.
Tech Trek Stanford
These girls are selected from local public schools and are able to enjoy the experience at no cost because all their expenses are covered by the fundraising efforts of the local AAUW Branch, which has been providing scholarships for Tech Trek camp for the past 20 years.
Sadly, due to the pandemic, Tech Trek 2020 was cancelled so fundraising is underway for the 2021 camps.
When you purchase a $25 a ticket, you will be entered into a drawing for the following prizes: A two-night midweek stay for two at 10-acre Sand Rock Farm in Aptos and gift certificates to local Aptos restaurants Cafe Sparrow, Zameen, Sanderlings and Bittersweet Bistro; wine tasting at Nicholson Vineyards, which has a picnic area under the oaks; gift certificates to DIG Gardens and Alladin Nurseries; and a curated tote bag of goodies to celebrate the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage, delivered to your front door.
Purchases should be made by Sept. 23. Winners will be selected during the Sept. 26 AAUW branch meeting on Zoom.
Buying multiple tickets will, of course, increase your odds of winning. The prizes have been chosen with the limitations of Covid-19 in mind. This fundraiser will support local businesses and keep winners safe.
