It’s time to sell and buy those Cash Bonanza Charity Raffle tickets!

Brothers in our St Michael/St Paul Knights of Columbus council, #11369, have received their tickets for the 2018 campaign, with a goal of selling at least 850 tickets.

Last year, we sold 821 tickets.

Here are the complete results from the 2017 Cash Bonanza campaign.

This is a statewide raffle with 25 prizes. The drawing takes place on May 19th this year.

As has been a tradition for 70 years in Ohio with this ticket sale, all of the money remaining after prizes are awarded goes to charity.

Council 11369 had the highest return rate in the Diocese of Youngstown last year, getting an average 88.2% of the money back for our charitable purposes.

That’s $4.41 back from each $5 ticket, to buy over 200 Christmas hams for Canfield and Ellsworth Twp. families as well as for clients with the Dorothy Day House, Rescue Mission, St. Vincent de Paul, and other Youngstown-area non-profit organizations.

We support other non-profit organizations and charitable efforts as well, like our two churches and the Right to Life billboard on I-680.

The money also helped install the new interior lighting in St Michael Church.

Even the remaining 11.8% in money we hand over to the state K of C organization goes to charity, in part.

After paying out prize monies, there are funds at the state level left over for Christmas gifts for the nearly 200 Ohio seminarians.

There’s also money provided at the state level to the Matching Funds program, which provides money for educational materials available at the library facility at the diocese offices in downtown Youngstown.

These materials are also available for use in our Catholic churches and schools.

Plenty to be proud of here, plus there are CASH PRIZES!
