It is time to for 2016 Hall of Fame Raffle Fundraiser, and we need your help!
Raffle tickets were distributed on Monday night to all teams at the RAB meeting. We are asking each Boys Cross Country family to sell a minimum of 2 single tickets or 1 three or five pack by February 15. Last year all tickets were priced at $100, and in response to your feedback about high entry point, we have improved the program for 2016. Tickets can now be sold / purchased three ways: $50 for a single ticket, $125 for a 3 ticket pack, or $200 for a 5 ticket pack.
The raffle drawing will be held on March 5 at 8:00 PM at the Roosevelt Riders Sports Hall of Fame Banquet at the Burke Museum, and you need not be present to win. Cash prizes will be awarded as follows: 1st place $5,000, 2nd Place $2,500, 3rd Place $1000.
Since we are out of season and don’t have the advantage of gathering easily, PLEASE DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING;
1. If you intend to sell your tickets to family or friends, send me an email with 1) subject line RAFFLE, 2) details of your ticket allocation preference (e.g. “2 Singles”, “2 Singles and a 3 Pack”), and 3) the mailing address where you would like to receive your tickets. I will record your ticket numbers and mail them to you. When selling tickets, you will need to follow some important guidelines:
I will manage all ticket distribution, accounting, and audit activities and do my best to keep the postal and tracking process moving at a good clip. I have a team spreadsheet where I will track our progress and manage the gaps, so you can really help make the job more manageable by buying and selling early.
Please let me know if you have questions. Email is the best way to reach me at frfultonatmacdotcom. I’ll send another email after the New Year with details for the Hall of Fame Banquet, so stand by.

- DO NOT break up the 3 and 5 packets: this is a requirement of State gaming laws;
- Tickets cannot be sold by anyone under the age of 18: this is another requirement of State gaming laws;
- Fill out ALL blanks on the ticket stub;
- Give the purchaser the top portion of the raffle ticket and keep the ticket stub with the purchasers’ information for return to me with payment via USPS (I need to return all stubs to the RAB fundraising coordinator);
- Insure that checks are payable to Roosevelt Athletic Booster Club (we cannot accept electronic payment such as PayPal or take credit cards, and checks are easier than cash to track and manage)

About ROOSEVELT ATHLETIC BOOSTERS CLUB:
The primary activity of the Roosevelt Athletic Boosters (RAB) is to raise money as an additional source of funding for the athletic teams and sports clubs at the school. Our funding sources include the annual “Hall of Fame Auction”, the Raffle, running the concession stand at basketball games, and receiving direct donations. The monies earned assist the athletic director in supplementing the district’s budgets for the RHS teams, reduce the player fee for club sports (which we did not have to pay last year), and more.
RAB assists in funding for items that will stay with the school or benefit the entire team or PE class. We do not provide funding for individual recognition, off-season training, personalized uniforms that the students are allowed to keep such as our team shirts, or other elective items. Types of monetary assistance that may be provided include school wide sports recognition banquets or awards night, uniforms and equipment for sports teams, facility rentals not covered by the school, training and skills enhancements for teachers and coaches, assistance for teams competing at the State level, transportation, and other equipment or supplies related to athletics.
