Oktoberfest Raffle
The St. Vincent de Paul annual raffle will be held again this year at Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 15th. Each family is asked to sell 15 tickets @ $10 each. An envelope containing the raffle tickets will be sent home today with the youngest (or only) child of each family. Please remember to check your child’s backpack and folders for the envelope containing your family’s allotment of 15 tickets.
All sold (and unsold) tickets must be returned no later than Friday September 7th. Due to a later start to the school year and Oktoberfest taking place earlier in September this year, we are on a very tight schedule to sell and return our raffle tickets. Thank you for working within these time constraints to make this year’s Raffle successful!
If you have any questions or would like additional tickets, please contact Gina Sawyer at 773.416.6401 or ginalukowski@yahoo.com.
Prizes for this year’s raffle include:
1st Prize: $1000
2nd Prize: $750
3rd Prize: $500
4th Prize: $250
5th Prize: 2 Tickets to the 2019 Kentucky Derby Gala
