Raffle Item Donation Form

Samantha Michelle Ford of Arroyo Grande, California passed away in 2010 at the age of 24 after her third battle with cancer. To honor her memory and continue her inspirational legacy, her friends and former students host an annual Remembering Sam Ford/SamFest fundraiser.

This year they will hold SamFest (a celebration of Sam featuring live performances, food, vendors) at Ramona Garden Park in Grover Beach on November 3, 2024. Up to 100 guests, mostly local families, are expected to attend.

This fundraising event will feature a raffle of donated items. Proceeds will create scholarships in Sam’s name for young dancers at The Studio of Performing Arts, Sam’s childhood dance studio. In addition, proceeds will be donated to The Pablove Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educates and empowers cancer families, and improves the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music, and arts programs.

All auction and raffle donors will be recognized on RememberingSamFord.com, our social media pages, in all related press materials, and in the event program. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law—consult your tax advisor. Thank you for your generosity and support!

Please fill out one form per donation item.
