Have you ever bought tickets to a charity raffle and then ended up winning a bottle of red wine despite the fact you only drink Guinness? Well that problem is solved at a Tricky Tray fundraiser event! Attendees purchase raffle tickets then drop their tickets into the bag associated with the prize they would like to win! The more tickets someone places in the bag, the greater the chance of winning the desired prize when a ticket is drawn.
Galway Softball are hosting Ireland's first ever Tricky Tray fundraising event and we are so excited! You can find a full list of prizes on offer below, but some of the highlights include a Week's Holiday in Crete, a Date with Connacht Rugby player Jarrad Butler, a €1000 Gift Voucher Tree, Stunning Artwork and lots more. If none of those tickle your fancy, one of the hundreds of other prizes surely will.
Raffle prizes are tiered and raffle tickets are priced accordingly, so you can decide whether to get more tickets for a smaller value prize or spend big and go all in for the big value prize. The choice is yours!
Tickets to this exciting event are just €40 and include:
- All you can eat salad, pasta, steak and chips, with coffee, teas, and dessert included.
