Putting the Fun in Fundraising
APWU members who attended the Kansas Postal Workers Union’s Convention and Tri State Training conference on April 24-27 showed how to have fun raising money for COPA. Approximately 75 members attended the three-day event and raised an impressive $4,726 for the union’s political action fund through a raffle, a lottery, a 50-50 drawing, a “duck race” in the hotel’s swimming pool, and a lip-sync contest to showcase their talent.

The Time Is Now Give To COPA

(04/01/13) Contributing to COPA, the APWU’s Committee on Political Action, has never been more important. As the Postal Service fights for survival, COPA donations are crucial to protecting our jobs and our future.

A booming COPA fund — along with grassroots political organizing — helps us elect candidates who demonstrate a commitment to postal workers, organized labor and a thriving Postal Service.

To put a little fun in fundraising, we’ve expanded the prizes and incentives we offer individuals, locals and state organizations.

The popular Trip of a Lifetime sweepstakes has returned! Lucky winners will get to pick from a list of fantastic vacations for themselves and a guest. [read more]
