Through our annual Cash Raffle fundraiser, the Rotary Club of Joliet makes a significant impact on the quality of life in the Joliet community. Proceeds from the raffle enable us to provide charitable grants to nonprofit organizations to improve and expand facilities, programming and purchase new equipment. The raffle is one way we live out “Service Above Self”.
The 2024 Raffle officially kicks off Sept. 17 and runs through Oct. 22, when the winners will be drawn live at our Tuesday meeting for the following prizes:
- $10,000 - First Prize (1 Winner)
- $1,000 - Second Prize (5 Winners)
- $500 - Third Prize (2 Winners)
All ticket stubs and payment must be physically submitted by Noon on Oct. 22 to be considered for the drawing. Each entry must be accompanied with a $100 payment via cash, check payable to Joliet Rotary Club #78 Charities or Venmo @JolietRotary. Tickets can also be purchased online with a debit or credit card with the option for the purchaser to choose any active Joliet Rotarian's name to receive credit for the sale. T
Each Rotarian is expected to sell or purchase at least 5 raffle tickets. Tickets will be distributed to members at the Sept. 3rd and 17th meetings. You can also pick up additional tickets at our weekly Club Meetings. There will also be weekly raffle drawings for those who turn in their ticket stubs and payment, and prizes for the top 3 highest ticket sellers.
