NFL SUPERBOWL RAFFLE

As you know (and if you don't you have NOT been paying attention to previous postings) one of my jobs for the Xavier Society is raising money. Some might say it is the MAIN job.

So, in May we are going to have a fund-raising Benefit at the New York Athletic Club. There are several elements - the admission to the party (GREAT party, $100 a ticket) - and the Silent Auction at the event - this year the auction will go online starting on April 13, so people not in New York can take part (more on that in a slightly later post - I don't want to overload you) - AND the NFL Superbowl Raffle.

We are a designated NFL charity, and so we have 250 Raffle tickets to sell, at $100 apiece. The first prize is:
2 Tickets to the 2010 Superbowl in Miami
Airfare to and from Miami
4 Nights in a hotel
2 tickets to the NFL Alumni Player of the Year Award Dinner (with at least one Hall of Fame player at each table - tickets for this even alone are $1,250 apiece)

If (for some strange reason) you win and don't want to go - you can get a $5,000 prize instead.

Second Prize - $1,000

Third Prize - $500 (By my math, that's three chances in 250 to win something. Beats the Lottery.)

How do you get tickets? Send me a check for $100 (or multiples thereof if you want more than one ticket.) Make the check out to Xavier Society for the Blind - and I will send you your ticket by return mail.

If you win - it will be the trip of a lifetime. Past winners report that they are treated like visiting royally - you are not just at the game and all the festivities, you are there are the guest of the National Football League. And if you don't win - you have helped the Xavier Society for the Blind during tough times. Sounds like a win-win to me.
