In honor of the individuals that have worked so hard to establish the baseball program in Des Arc, Ronnie & Sarah Ward have donated a $500.00 gift card to Guess & Company Christmas Warehouse that will be given away November 18, 2023.
These individuals have supported the Des Arc baseball program by giving their time and love to furnish the youth in our community with a baseball program since approximately 1976.
A suggested donation of $10.00 will provide an opportunity to win.
Donations will go toward the Baseball Complex Project (new bathrooms, concession stand, pavilion, coaches room, storage, as well as ADA assessable walkway to field one and complex).
Suggested donations for an opportunity to win the $500.00 Guess & Company Christmas Warehouse gift card can be given at Berry Insurance Agency, Fonda’s Beauty Barn (Wednesday through Friday), Petty’s Auto in DeValls Bluff, Jaime Eans/ DAHS, and at scheduled times at the Guess & Company Christmas Warehouse.
You can also go to City of Des Arc’s Facebook page where a QR code and link is set up for direct donations. (Specify regular donation or donation for gift card.)
For questions on direct donations contact Carlee Fisher at the City of Des Arc.
This giveaway is hosted by Ronnie & Sarah Ward to help raise money for the City's project and is not associated with the City.
