Automotive dealer Jim Click Jr. announced the launch of the latest βMillions for Tucson Raffleβ giving local charities another opportunity to raise $1 million this year.
In this latest iteration of the raffle, Click will again issue 100,000 raffle tickets to eligible nonprofit organizations to sell, and participating charities will keep 100% of the funds raised to support their local services and programs.
The grand prize this year is a 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid. The second-place prize is two first-class airline tickets to anywhere in the world (some restrictions apply), and the third-place prize is $5,000 in cash.
βLast year while we were still working our way through the pandemic, our community was overwhelmingly supportive of our charities and raised a record amount, nearly $1.4 million,β Click said in a news release. βI believe that just goes to show that our Tucson and Southern Arizona community is home to some of the most generous and kind folks in our country. We are humbled and grateful for the support for our charities who do so much for our community.β
This is the 13th raffle that Click has conducted with the previous 12 collectively raising more than $9 million for local charities since 2003. The past seven raffles have raised on average more than $1 million per year, all of it going to local charitable programs in greater Tucson.
Raffle tickets are now being issued to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations, which are encouraged to sell as many tickets as possible before the Dec. 9 deadline. A drawing will be held for the winning tickets on Dec. 15. Tickets are $25 each, or five for $100.
Eligible nonprofit organizations wishing to participate in the fundraising campaign can make arrangements to pick up their tickets by contacting the Millions for Tucson Raffle management team at 520-342-5210, or by e-mail at jimclickraffle@russellpublic.com.
