-  Cash Raffle: A chance to win great cash prizes! Only 100 tickets are available at $100 per ticket.

-  Scheels & Local Business Raffle: We have great prizes this year, including Scheels gift cards, certificates, and prizes from local businesses. Our annual raffle has 1,000 tickets available at $20 per ticket.
