The 27th annual Rose Sale will be held from Feb. 15 to March 22, with the delivery and pick-up date scheduled for Tuesday, April 5.
All proceeds from LIFE Mower County’s Rose Sale provide critical funding for programs and services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
We need your help. Any level of support is appreciated. Here are a few suggestions:
• At your work — Coordinate a rose sale where you work. Email your co-workers and encourage them to order. Call the LIFE office with a group rose order and the roses can be delivered to your office!
• In your school — School groups can sell individual roses to support their peers that attend activities at LIFE.
• In your neighborhood — ask your neighbors, friends and family to order roses.
• Brighten someone’s day — order roses to give to your customers or employees to show how much you appreciate them.
• Volunteer — Rose Sale coordinators are needed throughout Austin and the surrounding communities to coordinate rose sales at local churches, businesses, etc. You can stop into the LIFE Mower County office, Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or we can deliver the posters and order forms to you anytime. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering to help sell roses, please call 507-433-8994 or email info@lifemowercounty.org.
Hang up posters with order forms at your work, church, schools, gas stations, restaurants, local businesses, etc.
