Thank you to everyone who has purchased tickets and supported us as we try to do something unique and original to provide for charities while giving you an opportunity to win a dream home. As you know, this is the first time we have attempted an effort of this magnitude, and it is one of the first (if not the only) raffles of its kind in Indiana. We have received a great outpouring of support for our dream and we look forward to taking our lessons learned and creating an even bigger and better raffle next year.
Unfortunately for this year, we have not reached our goals in regards to ticket sales. Normally, the raffle would be drawn with smaller grand prizes and fewer additional prizes, but our raffle contributes directly to a number of organizations such as Pour House, Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, and Worthmore Academy. These economic times have put a strain on many of the organizations we support and many have struggled to find new sources of funding in order to help them remain in operation. The Built2Win Dream House Raffle is a great opportunity for these organizations to realize their goals, but our current ticket sales levels will not allow us to provide the aid we feel these organizations need.
Therefore we have deciding to move the final drawing date to February 5, 2010. These changes have been approved by the Indiana Gaming Commission and will allow us more ample time to not only raise additional funding for our charitable organizations, but also bolster the pot of prizes that you can win. We appreciate your support and understanding and hope that you will help us make the Built2Win Dream House Raffle a success for years to come.
Please help us reach our goal by sharing our story with your friends, family, and coworkers!
Sincerely,
Daron Gunst
Founder, Built 2 Win Dream House Raffle
