$20,000 Raffle
Grand Prize Drawing: April 24, 2010

What is the $20,000 raffle?
Each spring, the Transfiguration Parents' Guild holds a 50/50 raffle with $20,000 going to the raffle winner and $20,000 provided to support the school's operating budget.

When is the raffle drawing?
The drawing for the $20,000 Grand Prize takes place at the Spring Auction on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

When do raffle sales begin?
The raffle subscription form is sent home to each school family, in late January. School families will be given an exclusive two-week period, until February 8, 2010, to purchase raffle chances to meet their annual fundraising obligation. Simply complete the form and return it to school, along with a check by Monday, February 8th, to be assigned a raffle number. After that date, raffle sales will be extended to include all members of the parish and community until all 400 chances have been sold.

What happens if more than 400 people want to buy a raffle chance?
Except for school families, money received after all 400 chances have been sold, will be returned.  However, checks sent in by school families, after all 400 chances have been sold, will be applied towards their fundraising obligation, if not already met.

Who can enter the raffle?
Really, anyone can enter the raffle. However, all school families are expected to support this raffle by buying two chances for themselves or selling those chances to co-workers, friends and family members. Some families have had great success selling group tickets.

How should I make out my check?
Checks should be made out to the Transfiguration School Parents Guild.


Congratulations to raffle number holder 391 who won the $20,000! Thank you to all who participated in our fundraisier to benefit Transfiguration School.
