Raffles

RAFFLE OVERVIEW

All event participants have the opportunity to sell raffle tickets to assist in their fundraising tactics. Participants can meet their minimum fundraising amount by selling raffle tickets. Better yet--combine an email campaign along with selling raffle tickets, and you could easily raise more than $4,000!

Find one or two local event(s), reserve a machine, arrange for raffle tickets and the rest is easy! 

Expectations and responsibilities for selling raffle tickets:

  • NEW: Every participant will be asked to sign an agreement, confirming an understanding of raffle resposibilities.
  • A raffle ticket sales envelope MUST accompany all sold tickets to receive fundraising credit for ticket sales. Every ticket must be accounted for which is the participant's responsibility.
  • Payment for raffle tickets can be by check, cash or money order. Checks can be written out to Never Surrender Inc. 
  • Lost tickets are NOT an option. You are responsible for all tickets given to you. Lost or stolen tickets are the responsibility of the participant, and funds must be turned in for them.
  • Partial books will not be accepted. Sell the remaining tickets.
  • DO NOT transfer tickets with others--let us handle the distribution so we can keep accurate track of the tickets.
