It's time! For the Annual Special Olympics Lottery Fundraiser! Do you know that we raised $10,000 for athletes in Washtenaw County last year selling these raffle tickets? And we have had so many winners! And have given out thousands of dollars in prize money to people that bought there tickets right here from our athletes and supporters!

This year's raffle has changed a bit. The prizes are EVEN BIGGER! And we have added more BONUS DAY PRIZES!

Also...any Special Olympics Athlete that sells 30 tickets will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!!!!!!!

Please email us or see us at one of our upcoming practices or events to get your tickets. If you'd like to check out a packet of tickets to sell and return to us by mid December that would be really helpful also!

Good luck....we hope you win big this year! I know our athletes will!
