The Reverse Raffle & Auction (Pay. Play. Win.)
2013 Reverse Raffle & Auction
PAY.PLAY.WIN
The 2013 Reverse Raffle & Auction will take place on Friday, March 22 at 6:00 p.m. By purchasing a Reverse Raffle ticket, businesses, organizations, and individuals have a chance to win up to $10,000! This year’s event will be held at The Sutherland, a unique eighteenth century estate that boasts over six acres of ancient oaks, stately magnolias, and beautiful gardens which provide an extraordinary setting for our event. More information on The Sutherland can be found at www.thesutherland.com. The Reverse Raffle and Auction also provides a wonderful opportunity to make an investment in your Chamber, as net proceeds are used to support Chamber services and programs.
Every year the Reverse Raffle & Auction draws hundreds of business people and community leaders. Funds are raised through the sale of tickets, our live auctions, raffles and sponsorships. Reverse raffle tickets are $100 and sideboards are $20. Both can be purchased through any Board of Directors member or at the Chamber office. Each ticket admits two to the Drawing Party (March 22) where heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. Be sure to purchase your tickets soon, as there are a limited number available.
For more information on the 2012 Reverse Raffle & Auction, please contact Beth Bollinger, Event Coordinator, by phone at (419) 217-0105 or by email at beth@louiseprod.com. We look forward to seeing you at our biggest networking event of the year!
How Does it Work?
Unlike a typical raffle, in a Reverse Raffle the purchaser of the last ticket drawn wins the Grand Prize of $7,500. Each raffle ticket number is also entered into a special “side” jackpot called a side board. It costs an additional $20 to purchase your corresponding side board number. There are some individuals who choose not to purchase the side board number that matches their raffle ticket, and these remaining sideboard numbers can be purchased at the Chamber Office. If your raffle ticket is the last one drawn, and you have purchased your side board, you win $10,000!
We will also be awarding prizes throughout the night. The first ticket drawn wins a $100 and other prizes will be awarded based on the order ticket numbers go out.
Sponsoring the Event
Businesses can also participate in the event by becoming a sponsor. Sponsoring our Reverse Raffle & Auction can be an excellent marketing tool for your business as the event is promoted in the Northern Wake County region, including Wake Forest and Wakefield, and to members of the Wake Forest Area Chamber.
