Do you consider yourself a lucky person? What kinds of things have you won before? I always think, “eh, I’m not that lucky.” But actually, one time I won a TV at a baseball game. And another time I won airfare for 2 anywhere in the country. And one other time, I won $60 a 50/50 raffle where I put in $60. So…. lucky, right??
But this weekend is where I’m trying to ACTUALLY be lucky. This weekend is Treasure on the Mountain, the Snowshoe Foundation's annual raffle party. This year's event will be held on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at the top of Snowshoe Mountain. And I'm tryin to get that Jeep, okay??
There will be over $350,000 in prizes up for grabs, including cash, toys, trucks, vacations, and more. And the best part is, all proceeds from the raffle go to support the Snowshoe Foundation, which provides scholarships, grants, and other assistance to local organizations and individuals. (Again, shout out to Nature’s Mountain Classroom, because, well, they are just amazing!)
TBH- I don’t know if tickets are actually available anywhere still, based on when you’re reading this. But if it’s in the winter or something, just follow our facebook page for when tickets go on sale next year.
Side note- did you know it matters where you get your tickets? For example, we always get ours from Carol Woody at Challenged Athletes of West Virginia, because CAWV gets a portion of each ticket they sold, and they are also an awesome organization that we like supporting.
Here's what you can expect at Treasure on the Mountain:
- A chance to win over $350,000 in prizes
- Food and drinks from local vendors
- Live entertainment
- Tons of people just havin’ a good ole’ time!
The raffle will be held from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and winners will be announced every five minutes. The best place to follow all the winning is via the new Snowshoe Foundation app.
Wish me luck, ‘eh?
