Spring Soiree and Prize Draw
Win $10,000 or one of twelve other cash prizes and more!
Friendship Centers of Emmet County, Council on Aging, is planning the single largest fundraiser we’ve ever had and would love to have you be a part of it!
All profits support local seniors with programs and services including Meals on Wheels, Health Services, Transportation, In-Home Care, Congregate Meals, and more.
The event will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at the Grand Unity Event Center. Ticket holders will be invited for a night of fun, food, and fundraising including a chance to win several cash prizes. Tickets are $150 each and include one entry into the $10,000 raffle drawing, with twelve other cash prizes available, and admission for one to the event with one dinner ticket and two drink tickets. Many other prize opportunities will be available throughout the night, including gift raffles of prizes from area businesses and a 50/50 raffle. A cash bar will also be available. (Must be 21 or older to enter.)
How does a drawdown work? Tickets are eliminated until only one is left. The last ticket drawn is the winner of the Drawdown Grand Prize. If all 300 tickets are sold, the prizes will be: 1st ticket drawn wins $50; 25th wins $75; 50th wins $100; 75th wins $125; 100th wins $150; 150th wins $175; 200th wins $300; 250th wins $500; 296th wins $750; 297th wins $1,000; 298th wins $1,500; 299th wins $3.000; and the last ticket drawn wins the Grand Prize of $10,000! You do not need to be present to win any of the cash prizes.
