2023 CURRENT RAFFLE PRIZES 

LOT'S MORE PRIZES COMING

RAFFLE TICKETS: $5 EACH
Raffle tickets are $5 each, with no limit on the number of tickets purchased. The raffle drawing will be held during the awards ceremony on Sunday of tournament weekend. You DO NOT need to be present to win raffle prizes. Raffle tickets bought online will be assigned to a physical raffle ticket and its corresponding number once online raffle sales are closed. Raffle tickets purchased online will have their ticket placed into the bucket by Sharkathon for drawing winners and no further action is required of the purchaser of online tickets. We produce a printed list of these online raffle ticket number assignments replicated in several red binders that will be in common areas at the awards ceremony for browsing. We announce winners by name, not number, when a ticket is drawn for a winner, we consult the list and match that to a name. Winners who are not present will be notified by phone and/or e-mail within 7 days of tournament end and will be required to schedule pickup or shipment of prize. As soon as we possibly can the winners list will be published on the Sharkathon website under the raffle tab, usually within 1-2 days. Winners will be responsible for all shipping costs. Proceeds from raffle tickets are used for donations for multiple causes
