Meeting offers details on 4th of July ticket sales

VANCOUVER –The Fort Vancouver National Site is hosting a meeting Wednesday to provide information to nonprofit organizations, service organizations and school teams and clubs on how to raise money while selling tickets for this year’s Independence Day at Fort Vancouver.

The campaign, Go 4th Raise Funds, allows groups to sell $5 advance general admission tickets to Independence Day at Fort Vancouver and receive $1 back for each ticket the group sells.

The informational meeting will discuss how the Go 4th campaign works and answer questions, a news release from the fort said. Participants can register at the meeting and start selling Independence Day tickets immediately. The campaign began Feb. 1 and runs through June 30.
