_____________________________________________________________________
This is your chance to win big and support our mission!
We are selling just 1000 tickets total, and the prize packages are each worth hundreds of dollars.
We've gathered some very Portland experiences and prizes. As we are the Portland Fruit Tree Project, you'll see many of the prizes have a fruit-related component. You have a chance to end up with the "Fruit of the Month Package (think pie from Loretta Jean's and Pie Spot), or a "Staycation" filled with all kinds of activities and eats for a summer in Portland (a stay at The Nines, Vanport Jazz Fest Tickets, a custom workshop with LaLa Studios, etc.), or a "Green Thumb Bundle" where you could end up with some new fruiting trees and plants (all suitable for patio gardens). We also have an Asian Market Tour in Beaverton to offer.
There are 9 different prize packages. For every $5 you get one chance to enter. First: pick the package that interests you and then select "add" to choose how many chances you'd like within that package. You can also buy chances/tickets ($5 each) for more than one prize. Every dollar helps us in our mission to ensure that all the trees (and bushes and vies) laden with fruit across Portland benefit our community. Raffle ticket sales will end on June 20th at 11 pm, and the drawing will take place on June 21st at noon at the Leaven Community Center in NE Portland.
If raffles aren't your thing, considering participating in our Spring fundraising campaign another way -- such as joining our "Fruit Buds" monthly donation program. To learn more about our work this past year, check out our annual report, or watch this video.
In the meantime, we hope you have some fun along with us in this raffle. Thank you and... GOOD LUCK.
Note: You must be in Oregon at the time of purchase, and you must be 18 years of age.
