Get in the holiday spirit early by buying tickets for the annual St. Joseph School Christmas Cash Raffle! Only 800 tickets are sold, and nearly $10,000 in prizes—including a grand prize of $5,000—will be given away if we sell out! The main drawing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on December 12 during the fish fry at St. Joseph. Be sure to get your tickets early so you're eligible for the $500 Early Bird drawing at 12 p.m. on November 25. The Early Bird winner will be re-entered in the main raffle drawing, so you'll have a chance to win twice!

Tickets are $35 each and can be purchased from a school family, the Parish Office, Freeburg Printing, or Citizens Community Bank (Freeburg). We will also be selling tickets after some of the weekend masses at both parishes, as well as the fish fry events at St. Joseph (including this Friday!). We've currently sold 264 tickets for this year's raffle—which leaves us a lot of work to do to reach our goal of a sellout.

All proceeds from this raffle go directly to St. Joseph School. This is one of our school's biggest fundraisers of the year, and we appreciate everyone's support!
