Fundraisers
Wellington LTD limited edition firearms are perfect for your fundraising event. Past fund raising events using our collectible firearms have generated over $7,000 for a variety of organizations in a 3 to 4 month time frame. We suggest selling $10.00 raffle tickets and offering a minimum of 1,000 tickets for a potential gross of $10,000. A realistic fundraising goal from this effort is $5,000 to $6,000 with the potential of more depending on the number of tickets offered. This is a proven system!
Fundraising Testimonials
"I'm no expert on fine, limited edition firearms, but people I respect who have that expertise tell me Wellington's Botetourt Rifle is a real collector's piece. Our 4-H Shooting Education Club was able to acquire one of the Botetourt Rifles to use as a fund-raiser, and it proved to be the most popular raffle we could imagine. We had people calling us for raffle tickets because they wanted an opportunity to own one of these beautiful guns. It's meant a great deal to our club, too, because we're just getting started and need several thousand dollars for equipment. By the time we give the rifle away, we'll net over $6,500 in less than four months. And the rifle's already waiting at a local firearms dealer for the winner."

4-H Shooting Education Club
"Timing was perfect for our 4-H shooting education club. I am very picky about selling things. In fact it has been years since I have promoted selling anything. I normally do very little of this. The rifle caught my eye, I liked it and I knew a raffle for the rifle would work. "
"There were 1,000 tickets printed and the sale price was $10.00 each for a total of $10,000. There were no expenses incurred in printing tickets because we designed and printed them in my office. We sold 932 tickets for $9320. 4-H members selling 10 tickets received a free ticket. Twenty eight tickets were given as free tickets to 4-H members for a total of $280 as incentives to sell tickets. In the end, we made $6470 on raffle ticket sales. We now have more funds than most 4-H Shooting Education clubs have in years. It's great because we can now purchase some BB guns, air rifles, 22 rifles and ammo to just begin. Then we will move into the shotgun arena."
"I have recommended you to several of my co-workers across the state already. I do not mind if you use me as a reference. It was a good project for us. We look forward to the revolver next year."
"I am glad that I was in my office that day when you stopped in the Sheriff's office with the rifle. Timing is everything."
