St. Paul Capitals Annual Raffle Fundraiser: All You Need to Know!
Drawing: Sunday, January 4th at 2:00 PM at Green Mill - St. Paul
Our annual fundraiser is essential for keeping hockey affordable and accessible for all our St. Paul Capitals Hockey Association families. Your support directly contributes to critical needs like ice time, equipment, and program development. This season, our sole fundraiser is a raffle, and we truly appreciate everyone's participation!
Mandatory Participation & Buyout Option
- Your Commitment: Every family registered with St. Paul Capitals (including Saints families associated with us) is required to sell 20 raffle tickets at $10 each. This is a mandatory fundraiser.
- Buyout Option: If selling tickets isn't feasible, you may opt for a $250 buyout fee.
- If you choose the buyout and did not pay during registration, please mail a check to: SPCHA, PO BOX 16382, St. Paul, MN 55116
- Important: Families who do not sell their tickets AND do not submit the buyout fee will have their credit card on file charged $250 + a $25 admin/transaction fee at the end of the season.
Raffle & Top Seller Prizes
We have exciting incentives for both raffle participants and our top sellers!
- Raffle Grand Prizes: There will be 8 cash prize raffle winners!
- 2 winners will receive $1,499 each!
- 6 winners will receive $1,000 each!
- Top 5 Seller Awards: The top 5 players who sell the most tickets will each receive a $350 gift card to either Pure Hockey or Mall of America!
- Ticket Sales & Payment: You are responsible for collecting $10 cash for each ticket you sell. While your customers (like Aunt Judy!) can pay you via check, Venmo, etc., you must submit cash to SPCHA for your sold tickets.
URGENT: Ticket Pick-Up – Your Final Opportunities!
We've offered some previous opportunities to pick up tickets on both at the rink and Zamboni's on 7th, but time is now running out! Please make sure to get your ticket pack(s) at one of these final windows to maximize your selling time and avoid the buyout fee. All remaining pickup dates are listed below:
