State Charity Raffle 2025 UPDATES
EARLY BIRD DRAWING
We congratulate the $250.00 Early Bird Drawing winners for the months of December and January. December drawing winner Michael Myers of Canton Michigan and January drawing winner Keith Weber of Fowler Michigan. There are still two remaining opportunities to win $250.00 in our upcoming Early Bird Drawings, February 27th and March 27th. Find your charity raffle tickets envelope, sell your 12 tickets to family, friends and coworkers and turn them into the State Office for a chance to win $250.00 in the next two drawings.
A CHARITABLE CALL TO ACTION
Recently all State Officers, SDRR’s, District Deputies, Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries, received communication regarding the State Charity Raffle, requesting their active participation in motivating our 65,000 plus Michigan Knights of Columbus to sell their raffle tickets. We want to thank those State and Council leaders who have responded to this request and are happy to report that sales are heading in the right direction. District Deputies and Grand Knights in particular, your active participation in promoting our State Charity Raffle to the membership is the key to our charitable success. If we can’t get the message to our members to open their raffle tickets envelope, we have limited opportunity to answer the request for charitable assistance. Please contact your members via email, newsletters, at meetings, events and through phone calls to encourage them to sell their raffle tickets. Have you sold and turned in your raffle tickets?
FISH FRY / LENT
Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025, welcomes the season of Lent and for many councils the annual Fish Fry season as well. Fish Fry is traditionally a great opportunity to sell our State Charity Raffle Tickets. We have posters, flyers and extra tickets available to those councils conducting Fish Fries or other Lenten programs where you may sell raffle tickets. Please contact us for more information.
ONLY $5.00 / SELL ONE KEEP $1
Two things recently a couple of our top sellers shared.
1. As you’re selling raffle ticket remind people that as the cost for almost everything has risen, our State Charity Raffle tickets have remained the same price for the past 20 years, only $5.00.
2. For every ticket your council members sell, your council receives $1.00. He uses the tag line “Sell One, Keep One.”
Thank you for all you do to promote our State Charity Raffle!
